Housing Census!

[Jojoya]

Also from you in this thread yesterday -

Other preferred worlds that were preferred before and after the datacenter split: Midgardsormr, Siren, Lamia, Hyperion, Famfrit, etc on both Primal and Aether. There's the census you're referring to in your comment yesterday about Crystal being high pop, and then there's what square enix themselves have announced today for preferred, standard and congested servers. You yourself said Crystal datacenter has highest population when in aether you can't even make a character on any server at peak times and it has 5 congested worlds, not 1. No wonder there's no housing available in aether.

Those worlds you list definitely were standard worlds before split, see

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...dcf46648031b74
(changes as of Jan 2019, which was the last change to world status for NA servers prior to the data center re-organization), and

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...bf5eb4f6a9f9c2
(changes in Sept 2018, which had been change previous to January's).

All the preferred worlds in NA at the time the data center reorganization occurred went to Crystal as I stated. It was something that many people commented on in the weeks between the announcement of which worlds would be on which data center and the change occurring because it felt strange that all the preferred worlds were being placed together in the same data center instead of spread out across them all.

Were some of those worlds you listed made preferred in May when they made the post-split adjustments? Yes. SE was still trying to achieve some balance in world populations at that point and it appeared they were trying to do it by data center instead of across the entire region. Every data center had 1 congested world, 2 or 3 preferred worlds and 4 or 5 standard worlds designated until the new change this week.

That Crystal is the only data center that still has preferred worlds left does not mean that Crystal is losing players. It just means that Aether and Primal have picked up more of the new and returning players than Crystal did. Populations here are still very healthy, which is what I've been trying to point out.

Crystal is fine.

Hi Everyone,

I just transferred to the Goblin server but the housing market is pretty congested here too. Would anyone kindly direct me to a server where I can easily buy a plot without running into bots or competition?

Sadly.. bots are everywhere. I lost a few homes this week on Balmung due to botters. I reported them as did other people who where there trying earnestly and guess what? Nothing happened -.-; Pretty disappointed tbh. I guess it's legal to use bots since nothing happens to people doing it..

Either wait a couple of months after the expansion. People will start leaving. Also, you can always wait til live letter and check out what they say (IF they say something) about the housing situation

Been awhile since i posted an update for Lamia server. Count conducted over the last 5 minutes.

Shiro - 43 small
Mist - 103 small

This includes houses at multiple levels of devaluation in each district, several in wards that arent currently restricted(though the largest numbers were still in the new FC/transfer only wards). Happy house hunting!
