Thread: In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

See i had a few ideas for this, to start off i do agree on the idea of 1 house per account, only it should be 1 house per server (this doesn't include FC housing) because there are people who play on different servers. In addition to only owning 1 house per account, per server, all characters on that server should gain access to that house.
Now onto what ideas i have.

Private Housing for Medium and Large houses should be taken away, these should be left for FC's. Now i know people will hate that idea, i personally would love to have owned a Medium for myself and a few friends, but i understand that it's just greedy, and owning a mansion to yourself is even greedier.
That being said though people want more room, so why not add an upstairs to the small houses, giving players a little bit more space without going overboard.

Next would be the Apartments, they aren't really much to desire, they are the same size as an FC private room but costs 200k more? Why?
I feel to justify that price they should perhaps add a second floor, or maybe even add little garden area like a balcony. This would tackle the problem of players buying houses just for gardens.

Adding housing instances, i.e Free Companies get like a ward sized area to build what they want, it would have 1 large plot for the guild hall, mediums and smalls for building anything else like shops, cafes, personal housing, etc. Players outside the FC's would still be able to visit, using the same rules as apartments/housing, FC leaders can choice to open their ward to other players or keep it private and only for FC members.

Another idea would be to have plots were we can decide on the size of housing (restricting single players to perhaps smalls and mediums).

Add more Mansions into wards, or perhaps make Personal Housing Wards and FC wards. This way players can still buy a personal house and there would be less complaining... i hope.

And my final idea, Remove personal housing all together, only give individuals the option of FC Private Rooms or Apartments (again though make the Apartments more to desire)

So there is my ideas, i know some are going to upset/annoy people, but u can't make everyone happy, all u can do if find a happy medium =)

Thank you for your response Yoshi P. How about submitting an application through the mogstation. On there, you put your info in, such as your name, server, the plot size you want, etc. After putting in your information, you will get a email telling you the your application has been submitted and they will notify you again when your plot is ready. Once the new wards were made, the player will get another email letting them know what is the number plot it is and go there to build. That way players will not have to stop and make mad dash to the new wards because all they will have to do now is wait for their email and do what they want to do until then.

In light of the feedback we have received, we will be working to bolster our servers in preparation for additional wards in the Lavender Beds, the Goblet, Mist, and Shirogane by patch 4.2.

We’ve also received considerable feedback as to how they should be added, and we will be making an announcement outlining the number of new wards and how they will be sold after reviewing said feedback. To prevent speculation, we will refrain from releasing information until absolutely necessary. We ask for your patience and understanding until we can provide you with these details.

All aboard! Choo-Choo

In all seriousness, I'm interested to see what approach will be taken now.

Thanks, my feedback is 1 personal and 1 fc house per account

I agree. Just make the house shareable across your characters on the server and it's all good. 1 per server per account perhaps?

Thank you so much Yoshida!
