Thoughts on additional wards

[Bourne_Endeavor]

you people need to get over it. it used to be that only FC can buy houses... so people started these one man FC.. that's when SE decided it is better to open it up to everyone instead.

if you are on a overly populated server... move.. it's virtual MMO.. please don't be like "but this is my home" and cry about the lack of housing.. ever lived in big city like NYC or Seattle? homeless homies yo.

This is just a silly argument. People have friends and attachments to their servers. They shouldn't be forced to leave because of an awful system that allows one person to own sixteen houses. I have lived in big cities and you know what the only obstacle between you and house ownership is? Money. If you can afford to spend 2-4M on a New York City penthouse apartment, you will find one available. In fact, I can google the housing market in any major city worldwide and find housing. It may be far beyond my budget, but it's available. Such an option doesn't exist in FFXIV hence why people are upset. A friend and I currently have over 100M yet we can't buy a house unless it's from a scalper. A virtual MMO shouldn't have these issues; most don't. FFXIV has among the worst housing systems in the genre because it clings to the neighbourhood concept few people genuinely care about. There's a reason instanced housing is overwhelming popular in other MMOs.

of course you can't even... Balmung =p

I left Balmung and got hit with a lobby error the moment I attempted to log in. Other people on preferred worlds had similar log in errors; with houses gone within 15 minutes. Guess transferring doesn't accomplish anything.
