Thread: 4.2 Housing Update

I could have bought multiple small houses in the Goblet. I decided not to, but it was silly easy before. The preferred server status did hurt natives and long-time server members. I have no issue with multiple house people, since those houses were begging to be bought.

I only have a single house and don't plan to get another. I do support multiple house owners being allowed to keep what the have. How am I being greedy? One could say you are the greedy one wanting what someone else has (even though it will do nothing to fix the real problem).

Given how many multi house owners have come out of the woodwork recently I fail to see how anyone can honestly believe requiring multi house owners to give up their extras would have zero impact on the problem. Again, using everyone's favorite example, it would be at least 26 more houses for others to enjoy.

I also personally feel that the fact you could only buy one house per character in a game that really only needs you to have one character was kind of proof that SE expected people to own one house but IDK. The blame lies mostly on them, but I honestly believe that the people who own lots and lots of houses aren't entirely in the clear either.

The ultimate issue, though, is that the housing system at its very core is a mess and ONLY instanced housing will solve the issue.

The only problem with this FC only time period is that now people who want the larges are just gonna start making FC's with their 3 other alts to go snatch it up. Especially if FC's without a house get priority.

This is really only a bandaid on the problem anyway, on my server when housing districts come up, most of the houses are gone within 10 minutes of it opening up.

I work 9-5 yet I have owned multible houses over the years. Currently own 4 houses among multiable service accounts and alts. I did nothing wrong as the game allowed me to own these houses.

I'm grateful they will be grandfathered in so i dont lose my years of decorations and gil/time i put into these.

If you already own an FC house on a server none of your alts will be able to buy one. According to my understanding of the update if any of your characters belongs to an FC with a house you will not be able to buy an FC house. This is even if you don't already own any FC houses. The only way to get around this would be to quit all of your other FC's to buy the house then rejoin them all.

Your problem would easily be solved by Flashgordon's suggestion so why are you getting snippy with him?

I hate people with multiples houses, you go to any ward and looks like a desert, there's no people there, many houses are locked without even a single furnishing, not even a garden, what the reason to buy that thing if you're not going to use?, let people who's interested to use it get a house.

At least when 4.2 comes out you're not allowed to buy more than 2 houses ( personal and FC ) for Service Account, maybe now everyone can have a chance with new plots and residentials in future updates.

Now my wish are about personal houses being allowed to use Airship and Submarine too, at least 5 Large Plots for each Ward and who knows to be able to buy a Large Plot to me, because in my server when Shirogane cames out all Large Plots had been sold out in -1 min, everything in -5 min, i couln't get mine ( i bet some people use any hack, it's not possible ). Now the situation in Shirogane is around 70% abandoned houses, a new desert residential.
