I am somewhat reminded of the game The Sims Online when they added rent to houses. It upset a lot of people because every time you took a couple of days off the game you then had to spend hours slowly making and selling gnomes to pay the rent and not getting to enjoy the rest of the game and many people quit because of that.
My company isn't very big, we're always scraping for more active members since our server pop is small with people constantly disappearing every couple of weeks and many other competing companies are also clawing for more members. Hell we even struggle to find enough people sometimes to build our projects. Adding rent at 500k a month would destroy us and we would have to give up and relinquish our house and all its progress we put into it the past 3 months would've been for nothing.
However the idea might not be so bad if rent was added on a second house if you owned more than one house per server/account. That would certainly deter players from trying to monopolize entire wards to resell. In the end you don't want to be penalizing the players who just want a little place of their own, but penalize the ones who are taking advantage or being too greedy and not respecting the fact that houses are a limited resource in the game and are not just for them to hoard like collector's dolls.

Made me laugh while I wouldn't have any issues with the gil part as a fulltime crafter and owner of an small FC but leave mah FC Large and personal Medium alone!
Not everyone make a mil a month. Plus small not good enough if they doing instance there should be option to build on and make bigger. As for storyline omega world give perfect plot to instance housing.
Not everyone makes a mil a month? That's ridiculous. If you're not making that much a month you're either not playing or not trying. Besides, if you own a house, a mil a month should be nothing.

If housing was instanced, why would you need monthly fees on top of that?


Are people really hanging around their houses all the time, inviting friends, havin a tea party? cause i really don't understand why this topic needs so much attention. our fc has a medium house from back when it was introduced but all it does for me is a quick way to a summoning bell/market board without the traffic (and gil seller spam) of the main cities.
I even have a private room, but i don't even know why.

I can get behind that yeah

Customizable Inn Rooms Client side would have solved a lot of issues. Most players just want a place to 'come back to'. To hit a bed, hit sleep and be logged off and log in the same place (as opposed to being booted out into the main section of Apartments) It'd be really nice if people had that sort of option.
Of course, people would still want Apartments/housing to share with their friends Server-Side, but the option of being able to decorate an inn room however you desire client-side would solve most of these issues without even impacting any server stability.
