Probably Cancelling My Subscription

[EaMett]

Hmmm I understand that SE wants housing to be rare. But I feel like it is either too rare or too cheap. One of those should've been different to balance offer/demand.

I've manage to get my housing this patch in the location I wanted though not my preferred ward/division. I actually had a fair amount of time to run around and be picky if I wanted but I was so worried I just went with the absolute safest option possible (ward 9 subdivision). But it came with a lot of preparation (rehearsed all my moves multiple times with post-its on my screen for dialog clicking positions and selection + confirmation macros I had made) and an uncomfortable amount of luck. And I feel like luck should not be a factor.

I updated the game overnight, then I was refreshing the launcher by going into world then back to the play button. I must've logged in within 20 seconds at most of the servers being back up, used the post-its on my screen to tell me where to click to log my character in even before things displayed on my screen. STILL got a server full message and a queue of 65. That's insane. I mean sure some people will be faster, have faster computers, or connections. but a full server worth. Crazy.

I actually had a lot more wiggle room once in game than I thought but only realized that after I bought my plot. Even now I still can't get over the fact I was queued in a full server despite all the prep. It was just insane.

SE, if your housing sells within the first 30mn of launch it's one thing. But if everything disappears in under 10 (I think all mediums and larges were gone within like 5mn on Faerie). Then you done screwed up.
