Housing Fix,was a step back

[Krokov]

To the O P I don't know if you have checked since you made this thread but there are still a ton of Smalls available in goblet and a lot available in lavender beds and some in the Mist as well heck even Shirogane has some Smalls available. There are mediums available in lavender beds goblet and yes the Mist. However all the large and medium in Shirogane are taken.

Please enlighten to me as to why fcs need more space as time goes on.

I don't think it necessarily has to do with the size of fc or length of time it's been active, but moreso how many members are active decorators. I have a small fc (usually less than 10 people on at any given time) but we aspired for a large because all of us love to decorate, so we all got our little space in the house to do what we want with. When we had a small, that just wasn't possible outside of the individual fc rooms.

Every fc house, regardless of size, has the same amount of fc rooms and the exact same workshop. The npc cap has risen so now every house size can have every vendor. Crafting stations are only useful up to 50 so many don't even bother with them anymore. Gardening isn't much of an interest to most players.

Really, what do large fcs gain with a larger plot? The only gain I can see is the interior getting less crowded.

More members = More need of space for events. I'm in an RP server, so perhaps it's different, but if you're hosting events for an Fc with a lot of members, a small house won't cut it.
Hell, if you host RP events at all a small house isn't enough if your event gets popular. There has been instances where events were so crowded, people could not enter/leave the small house.

This is why bigger FCs need bigger houses.

...On Midgardsormr,there are currently no large houses,no medium*which I had my heart set on since October* and very few small left.

As of Right now 3:30 PM Central GMT February 13th, 2018 the available housing on Midgardsorm is as follows:

Lavender Beds:
SMALL: 335
MEDIUM: 35
LARGE: 0

Goblet:
SMALL: 337
MEDIUM: 94
LARGE: 3

Mist:
SMALL: 299
MEDIUM: 28
LARGE: 0

Shirogane:
SMALL: 81
MEDIUM: 0
LARGE: 0

TOTAL:
SMALL: 1052
MEDIUM: 157
LARGE: 3


Seems like well over just a 'few' houses left. I think you have only yourself to blame if you can't be satisfied with any one house in over 1000 available homes that you would rather be homeless and complain than to just have a home and transfer later. You and a handful of players dissatisfied with housing are simply unwilling to settle for a house you feel is beneath you and your standards.

For many it's not about the decorating. There are FC's that hold meetings, plan events, raids and gather for crafting inside the house. Space can get tight if you have a higher volume of active members, than the year before. I don't mean "inactive" members that hasn't been logged into the game in the last 90 days, yet they are still on the roster either..

SE should have implemented a limit on each plot size regarding FC's...

Small FC 4+ active members
Medium - 7+ active members
Large- 10+ active members.

I think what OP is referring to is that people who already owned plots got PRIME pick along with FCs so no GOOD plots are left in Shirogane. None. There are smalls. No mediums or larges. it hurt all those who don't and/or have never owned a house and wanted a decent (not just a small) plot in Shirogane. They gave preferential treatment to those that already had houses... even if they already owned multiple houses... to compete with the FCs. Who were they trying to help? If they were trying to help the FCs they should have locked out individual transfers. If they were trying to help everyone, they should have just let it be another free for all that dropped on a weekend so most people would not have work the next day and everyone would have a fair shot. This is why it is a huge problem.

Plus they still have that selling moratorium and even when that stops, you still won't be able to sell directly to another individual which means paying, likely, 3-4x the original price for that plot you want that isn't a small.

[Rufalus]

Don't try to aim for a specific dream plot because other people are going to be targeting that same plot even if there are no restrictions in place. Can never guarantee being the fastest person. Just feel lucky if you manage to get any plot of any size, and the option to move will be there for you next time.

Im pretty sure they allowed previous owners the ability to relocate to help reduce the mad dash congestion that usually happens at Housing Hunger Games.

I know now that I was able to upgrade to a medium, that's one less person trying to log in when the rest of housing goes live...and im sure many other people as well.
