Housing Issues

[Mailevelant]

Thanks to being forced to move servers, we cannot acquire a house now on the new server. This means we have inventories full of equipment for a house which we cannot purchase. The game is now unplayable until we find a house to offload all of this stuff too. You cannot tell me that in your infinite wisdom when making this decision to force server moves, that you did not anticipate this issue????

You now have players stuck with full inventories and Retainers who can do nothing because of your terrible planning. Add two more wards to each of the major cities on the servers to alleviate this or something. Acting like it is not an issue is BS.

It is impossible for PS4 players to buy a house when PC players are using bots to buy them up. Kick bot users and make it fair or add more wards to alleviate this issue. People who owned houses on their previous server should have gotten priority to buy houses on the new server or been given some kind of guarantee of a house in the new server.

This is poor planning and execution on your part Square Enix and you should be ashamed at this blatant cash grab of a server move. We just want to be able to play again.

if you need to purchase an apartment and use it as storage?

I keep seeing people say they were forced to transfer then stating they don't want the game without a house...Who forced you to transfer if your house was that important to you..? Apartments can be used for storage or just for a replacement if you cant manage a new house or just need space while waiting on a timer..

Square Enix forced us to move by turning our server into an RP server and moving the node it was on. Now the years (yes plural) worth of playtime and work that we have accumulated are all for nothing because we get ousted and have no house anymore. The girlfriend has spent months farming specific things to get items to furnish the house and was forced to pack it all up because SQEX decided to screw us over.

She's ready to quit the game altogether because of this nonsense. They could easily alleviate this or have planned it better. I am an IT professional for a fortune 500 and this is the most half baked, unplanned thing I have ever seen from a supposed professional company.

Apartments, for whatever reason cannot store the outdoor stuff so that leaves 95% of the items still consuming inventory space.

I want to know who at SQEX gets the medical bill for the carpal tunnel when she is done spamming trying to get one of these timer houses.

Why is 95% of your housing stuff outdoor stuff? Where you you putting all of it to begin with?

This is false, just because its on the same data center as unofficial rp servers, you make it seem like people who rp only play the game to do so. They also do content, quite regularly. You leaving and transferring was your own choice, nobody else's, don't push the blame on Square... as much as I hate to defend their choice, it want their fault you left your house.

There are no official rp servers. The community decides where they rp, not SE.

Also how does a server having rp mean you have to move?

If you knew enough about the housing system you would know that there is a great risk of being unable to find a plot on your new home server, and that if you left a house behind the likelihood of you having to store furniture on retainers for a long time would be pretty high. Sorry but if you are such a professional in IT, then why didn't you do any research before moving?

The system is awful, I agree. But it seems like you didn't do your homework before transferring so you ended up making your situation worse by not informing yourself enough.

Have you played with some of these hard core role players? They don't understand that most of us have real lives to live and don't want someone spamming only one spell because "That's all my character learned before they got kicked out" (Yes we've heard this argument from an RP person on a server who literally only spammed the one ability and died repeatedly in a higher tier dungeon)

SE has labelled the servers with an intent for RP to be on specific servers and then decides that for whatever internal reason, they will move happy servers to shards that are geared towards RP. The only reason for this that makes any sense is that it was a cash grab from their players. With the new expansion coming out, you would think that they had enough income pocketed but instead they shift things around to force people who refuse to RP to go out and buy extra retainers to move their stuff or to "shake up" the housing markets and move peoples in game coin around.

The Free Company we are a part of did a lot of scouting when the announcement was made that our server was being moved. At the time, the new server had the best potential. However, many people preemptively moved their characters by paying for the transfer to get ahead of the curve. That crippled it for those of us who were forced to wait.

So you've dealt with a small hand full of people derping and decided to give up your house? That's not every roleplayer, hell whilst raiding I found quite a lot of non roleplayers doing things like that.... it's called a player base. You get people like that sometimes, to give up your house and hard work over that without realizing that not everyone is like that is a little ridiculous. lmao.

Once again. Square forced you to do nothing, you could have stayed on your server and found a static, found friends, your illogical fear of role players is your issue man, and its honestly hilarious.
