Thread: In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

One plot per account, per type (Company / Private) is the way to go, but how would you force this on players who already have more than one?

Give them the opportunity to choose which personal and fc house they keep and they get refunded the gil for the other plots they lose.

So many years of experience in game developtment and he couldnt see it coming? Odin for example was sold out in less then 5 minutes and yoshi apologize like he is suprised about it. Its a shame and i am writing this even if i got a house. Its sad since many i know didnt because of ignorant Devs.

Some tip for yoshi-san

1) Limit 2 house per account instead of per character (there is no way one is actively and realistically using more then this) (1 private + 1 FC)
2) Allow only player with a certain playtime (not subscription time) to buy an house (this avoid player making secondary account just to buy more house)
3) Add enough ward to cover at least 80% of your active player population (counting FC's too) (if technically and financially possible)

Adding more ward without control mechanism like those example above is like opening and let the water run free instead of building canals to channel it where needed.

Thank you for a response. Not gonna lie - I didn't expect it coming so quick. Big relief to hear you're looking to implement some changes on top of new wards. Hopefully you can prevent people to buy extra houses on their alts. Looking forward to whats coming !

Thank you for the response I am glad the failure was acknowledged and you guys are working towards making it better. How long til 4.2?

As a side point, the apartments would be so much better if they had a balcony so you can put in a couple of outdoor items and garden to grow plants.

One thing that needs to happen is new wards need to be triggered when all current wards fill. Now that you can relocate it means that if later on a ward becomes a ghost town people could move to a more populated ward that has an opening.
