Stagnant Housing

[geekgirl101]

If everyone can't have access to housing then nobody should have access to housing. The housing acquisition system is pathetic.

Not a good argument really, however I think that SE should've done something like this:

1. All houses restricted to FCs only and apartments for personal use.
2. Provide individual gardens for players to grow plants in (I'm aware there's coding issues regarding this.)
3. All houses start as small and can be upgraded to large (yes I know it's not possible to do now as there isn't enough room to allow for house expansions but this is something SE should've thought of at the very start.)

As for what can be done now all SE can do is keep releasing more wards but that uses more server space, puts more strain on the game, and there will always be people either still without a house because they didn't get there fast enough or people with multiple accounts snapping them up and holding them for ransom at a much higher value especially the large and medium plots.

Does anyone know if they’ve started the count down for the 45 days yet? I’ve got a character on Sargatanas but zero housing plots are free. I don’t want to get too far with this character on this server, work hard to build up over 1 mil gil - which is hard to do when you only have 1 hour or so to play the game every now and then each week after work and life is taken care of - and then zero houses are freed up. I’d have to start a new character on another new server and start all over again...

No, they havent restarted the timer yet. Nor have they said when they would. With that said, you dont have to abandon the character yet. Theyve announced that when they reorganize the data centers this spring there will be free transfers available. So just play and save for now, and when that gets close you can consider doing some research on a good landing spot. The timer will also go back on at some point, with many players speculating that the 4.56 patch will be the time(since that should give some houses time to expire in time for the server transfer window).

Once the timer gets turned back on there should be smalls readily available on Sarg. I used to post in the housing census thread every few weeks for the server and before the timer freeze there was normally a good amount of smalls and the occasional medium. That said you are probably going to have to pay full price or close to it, especially if you want anything outside of the Goblet, so keep saving.

I agree with this post. My FC is on Cactuar and we've been looking for a house for a month now. Bout 3 and a 1/2 weeks ago a house came open on the server and we lost out to one of the multiple players and FC's camping on it. Then 2 came open and we lost those. Then there hasn't been an open house for sale on the server since. Can we at least get separate districts for FC's to make it easier for free companies to obtain a guild house? That or turn the timer back on.
