In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

Yoshi, pls do not go the "roulette" (you register and get an house randomly) or auction house route.

Unless literally everyone gets an house, some people will cry about it. Don't get me wrong, i can understand the frustration, especially when errors prevented them from getting an house. But at the end of the day, not everything is based on luck. I had an long discussion about housing ultimate with my friends and we asked ourself, how will people act and which plots will be sold sooner than others for example. At the end all worked out and we got what we wanted. Of course luck plays part in it aswell, but housing ultimate isn't 100% about luck. For instance one of many mistakes people did, was logging out in kugane instead of shirogane. With that said, i am happy about the new plots so more people can get an home

As nice as this is to hear, it's still extremely stressful.

The last time new wards where added in Heavenward our server also sold out in a few short minutes, much like what happened with Shirogane. Unless a substantial amount of wards are added thousands of players will still be left homeless.

This isn't a matter of "Just adding a few new wards." It's a matter of providing space for everyone who wants a home and can afford it. I hope that the new plots will help cover this and if they sell out... I truly hope even more wards are added until every player, regardless of server, is able to buy a plot.

This is great news... but I'm so skeptical at this point with all that's happened in regards to housing.

Hope you check back on the thread Yoshi, loving the game you've helped make and really, really, REALLY hope you'll add adequate amounts of plots to all districts!

I'm so happy to see this issue finally addressed! But it makes me wonder if there is anything planned to avoid alts (from people who already have a house) and re-sellers to come in and snatch them from people who are trying to get one...

Thank you for the response. I pray that everything will resolve quickly and with little issues.

Adding my thanks yoshi-p, one of the things I love about 14 is that the team do (seem to at least lol) care about the players, its just such a shame when things like this happen. Very glad you're looking to address this somehow and look forward to details.

Edit: One thing that would be brilliant (for my small FC anyway, although tbh I'm sure someone could find a way to abuse it) would be the ability to purchase using funds that are in the company chest. The reason i missed the shirogane rush was that I took all our gil out on my character and got booted off the server. My bf was logged in but all we could do was watch the houses sell up as he didn't have enough gil on him at the time.

Color me impressed, I honestly didn't think that we'd see additional wards brought into play this quickly. However, slightly concerned about 'changes to how they're sold'. Delaying the sale until later in the day to ease off the initial rush is good but I'm not sold on the lotto idea I've seen going around.

Still, I've got some faith in you guys, I'll wait to see how it pans out. Thank you for your quick response though!

I think that will only make people camp the placard. Though, might be slightly better because the players who failed to get a house will blame trolls instead of the server.
I could really see the ones who were up to no good will find a way to disrupt others.
Trade cancels, Covering the placard with fat chocobo, holy spams, spreading false information.

And it might be just like Ixion farm all over again, where people couldn't get in the ward, because there are too many people in the ward due to people camping in the ward.

I guess they are taking on some of our suggestions for rolling times for purchases or that lottery system the JP forums seem into.

Shoot, just expand the apartment system.

I will get my home in the Goblet. I WILL.

Just having a delay between relinquishing a plot and having it go back up for sale could prevent selling plots and so discourage hoarding them.
