Housing

[Nihility]

I don't see why there's so much hate for the Goblet. There's still one where I have my house, though it's a small. I just checked and no one is camping it.

i don't get it either. It was boring before but the hot springs they added in the middle is really cool now

The excessive competition for a plot on Balmung is simply a consequence of playing on one of the biggest servers. If owning a house is a major goal for a player there and they don't already own one then they'd be better off moving elsewhere.

Whats I always found funny is... Balmung had more house flippers on reddit...
Want a server which is seriously stingy on keeping houses? Come join us on Hyperion!

Let's be honest here aside a few plot where the view is awesome the rest is kinda bad.

Got a house on Hyperion today in the Lavender Beds! Lots of plots open when I logged in this morning.

imo, its boring compared to the other districts. If you aren't in the brimming heart its kinda meh.

The goblet is my favorite housing area, and I really like it, but I feel like the problem with the Goblet, and many, many other plots across some of the other wards, is that Square Enix placed them "facing" weird directions. Shirogane is beautiful and has a nice feeling to it but let's be honest, apart from medium houses and one of the mansions, all other plots are facing weird direction. Same for a lot of the Medium houses on the Mist, and this is a problem for Large houses on the Lavender beds.

The Goblet happens to be the plot with the bigger number of "weird view" plots, though.

I really don't understand how SE thought it would be a nice idea to make all the "beach front" houses on Shirogane don't face the beach. Or almost all the medium houses on the mist face pillars. Pretty much all the small houses on the goblet are facing nothingness, instead of the plaza that even from afar is a nice "oasis-like" view. There is a house on Shirogane that is always the last one to be picked because for some reason SE place it facing a wall. And another really nice potential plot is facing a giant rock that blocks the beach completely.

I do feel like the main reason to why the goblet gets so much hate is because the houses are facing random, nonsense directions. On top of it having a severe lack of vegetation or decoration altogether on places that are too afar from the central area. I do understand it's supposed to be in the middle of the desert, but they could make the whole area look like a fancy oasis instead of making this awesome plaza that only 5 plots have a view of. Same goes for many of the Mist houses and the "oh my what a beautiful pillar, I love stairs" view.

I guess I didn’t think about the larges being in crappy locations. I do agree that the outer houses could have something else going for them

I agree with your comment but also wanted to add (my 2-cents) that the Brimming Heart is extremely under-rated and imo is actually the BEST (most fun) place to live if you can snag it.

You'll only get responses from people playing on dead/obscure servers here saying "Plenty still left on mine lol"

Greg reporting in. Gilgamesh is most certain not dead. We have tons of plots left. All the servers i have friends or alts on there is plenty of housing. Those lacking housing are still much more populated than other servers. The servers with housing are far from dead.

On Sarg I was able to get one in the LB, alot of smalls are still there from last I checked. I was shocked as I was sure I wasn't able to get one, I had some gil saved up but gave up and bought a 350 chest piece this morning, then finding more plots opened I did maps to get some gold and finally landed a house. I'm no longer homeless.. seems like you really can get one.. if you don't mind small houses in random locations in LB,mist and Goblet. Shiro is full as an unopened pepsi can.
