Housing, a rant (but I hope a constructive one)

[Halivel]

1. It's a good option but... just imagine, that all active characters on Ragnarok (more than 12 thousands according to FFXIVCensus site) will buy a house. And it's only those who finished 4.1 MSQ. And same on all servers. What kind of load will it be for Data Centers? Is it worth?

3. 1-man FCs can't buy houses already, it was changed in 4.2 when there was a nightmare with housing. They need to have at least 4 people in it and be 6th level at least if I remember correct. Same as players can't buy more than one private house per World as well (though if they had it earlier then it can't be helped, SE will not take away houses that were bought).

UPD. patch note about changings in housing system: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...33e139e9792abf

The following adjustments have been made to provide more players access to housing and its features:

Plots designated for free company use will be limited to purchase by free companies with at least four members.
Individuals will be restricted from purchasing plots for personal use for a limited time.

• Following the release of 4.2, we will evaluate the housing market and decide when to remove the restriction on sales to individuals.
• Players may still relocate private estates.

Players will be permitted to own only one private and one free company estate per World per service account.

• Players may still relocate any private or free company estates they presently own.

To discourage the resale of plots, any plots relinquished by owners will be unavailable for purchase for a limited time.

• During this period, said plots will still be available for relocation.
