Thread: In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

Here is your make or break fork in the road, Yoshi. Long time coming. Do the right thing.

Add 2 new Sub Divisions, Let FC's have a days head start to housing and account bind the housing 1 FC 1 Personal that is Account bounds and accessible, let the personal plots add tenants, and let people with apartments add a tenant or 2.

On topic: I see a few ideas I like in here. Account locking the houses and allowing your alts to share them sounds great. It would stop people from owning half a ward to themselves at least. :P Also unlocking the new wards to FCs first might be worth looking at. They get a lot more out of the housing than someone just wanting to play dress up with their house and maybe garden a bit. It wont stop shell FCs, but it would help. I have confidence that the devs will come up with something at least, maybe not to satisfy everyone (there's just too many that want a large house for Reasons), but they're going to try and that's something I appreciate.

These are my suggestions:
1) 1 FC house/lot and 1 Personal House/Lot per Server (NA/EU/JP). This prevents any resellers or alts to have extra unnecessary homes that could be going to an active player
2) Personal Homes are shared with alternative characters on the same server in their account. This will make many people happy for it will give them a chance to have a place to call Home for even their lonely characters.
3) Separate wards for FC homes and Personal homes. (more small/medium homes in the personal Home wards and more large/medium homes in the FC wards). This will help FC so much in the fact that they can finally have a place to call Home and not have to fight with other people to get personal housing. It would have been nice to have stuck with JUST FCs getting Home to prevent the housing crisis we have today but you can’t please everyone.

4) Able to purchase the lot from the list of houses in the ward list. This may help those with really slow internet connection be able to just click & buy from that menu.
5) Instanced housing options with a price reduction bonus. This may give some people the opportunity to buy a home without the hefty price tag in return losing the real-time neighborhood aspect (lots will still have a front lawn,but the scenery is a backdrop). But I’m sure many would be willing to pay that price full well knowing that they may be paying [up to the current lowest price for a lot when left up for sale].This will also prevent the need to open up more wards &hopefully avoid doing the raffle ticket route for purchasing lots (auctions). Doing auctions just creates more competition & adding to the already bad tension between players &upsetting even more people who have been playing the game since before launch who may still not have a home and those who may have returned thinking they have a shot to a house

On the phone version of the website there is no edit button I can find

I tried that with the copy paste thing, it wouldn't let me. Still stuck to 1k wordage.
So I guess we have to
