I am convinced square hates it's user base.

So after coming back to play stormblood and having to slog through tons of pre questing just to even see stormblood, I am told that apartments were added at some point when I wasn't paying attention. And at only 500k a pop..I was on my over for finally a place to use all my stored furnishings and such.

Wait nope scratch that... despite apartments being totally instance, squaresoft hates us and only has 100 apartments per company, on a server with many thousands of people.

There is no other excuse except that squaresoft hates its user base and loves to watch them suffer, that BS like this happens.

Each ward has more apartments. Did you check more than one ward? Wasn't sure from reading your post because you said 100 per company; not sure what you meant by company.

Well maybe you should consider reading all the information and pay attention a bit more. If you did you would know that SE apologized for the lack of houses and will be adding more wards in 4.2. Along with more wards also means more apartments. You will get your chance, just have to be patient a little longer.

There is only one apartment ward. and company = city...I used company because a requirement to buy an apt was ranking in that cities company. Unfortunately I am only leveled into one company. Vivi, yea no. Knowing every single apology post square puts out is not a requirement for anything. I was actually told that in chat when I brought it up but a) this has been an issue for how long? and b) no one knows when it will be fixed. Saying it will be fixed in the future at some non dated patch does nothing.

Each ward has it's own apartment block with apartments in it. But I can see how every apartment in every ward might be bought up if your server is particularly active

Ummm... You don't need to be leveled in multiple GC's in order to access all the housing. At all. You can freely buy from any ward regardless if it's a house or apartment, otherwise Shirogane apartments wouldn't be a thing and my friend who is only ranked in the Flames wouldn't have a Lavender Bed's apartment. Nor would I have been given the option to buy up some apartments in the Goblet back during the latest housing push before I decided to just stick to my own in Shirogane.

You only have to be levelled in one grand company to purchase a plot/apartment in any district.

And unless your sever is overpopulated there's a high chance of many apartments still being available. Each ward and subdivision has their own. About 8,640 in all 4 districts.

You are completly and utterly missinformed about this - so stop throwing a temper tantrum and inform yourself first!

1) Your Grand Company doesnt matter when it comes to buying houses and apartments - you can buy one anywhere you like, given that your rank is high enough
2) There are 180 appartments per ward (90 for each division) - that makes 2160 appartments in each housing district and 8640 appartments total.
3) You buy the appartment at the appartment-complex in each district - so you might have to go around a bit and check all wards and subdivisions to find an open one!

One last thing you should know: appartments are basically the rooms you can get for yourself at an FC-house without having to be in and FC (that owns a house).

Each ward can have quite a few apartments. That said, they can fill up on the largest servers.

Your FC house can also host up to 512 private chambers rooms, but of course, you'll want a stable FC for that.

Now all that said, SE has been extremely slow to respond to housing feedback -- not even acknowledging most of the issues before server rebalancing filled the wards. But, they are finally acknowledging it. Improvements are coming as soon as 4.2. So, hang in there a little bit and let's see how things turn out?

I don't know how it is on Levi, but on Greg there are still lots of apartments, and Greg is one of the most crowded NA servers there is. I cannot imagine that there is not a single apartment out of a possible 8600+. But even if that is true, theyre adding more of everything in 4.2. While the houses they add might well sell out instantly as usual, the apartments they add are likely to be available for awhile. But looking at the evidence I'd say there's no case to be made that Yoshi's team hates the players. Quite the opposite really. But they're still people who have bad judgment and make bad choices some times. At least this team actually works to fix those, unlike some other companies (coughblizzardcoughcough).
