[cut down to under the limit] <- posted
[edit post and paste the whole monster, save post] <- victory

Might not worry about that now though since if you delete a post it still leaves a shell post that you deleted it lol (but for the future it might help ^^).

Also while I prefer instanced, my own zone, housing like Wildstar (I haven't put value in the neighbor element, having been in a full housing area for a few years now) I wanted to mention that with the change that a ward grows when full it would be like LotR Online's housing which doesn't have the issues like we have, so.. your solution has been implemented and works .

The British cul de sac thing sounds super cute .

I think if they could get apartments up to the speed of houses (size upgrades, like the floors you suggested) and a balcony/garden area (full garden support and outdoor furnishing) then we'd be in some pretty good shape (still people might want a physical location out there but at least we could start saying things like apartments are quite equal to house). I'm actually curious if Ishgard is going to be fancy places like BDO basically.

Whatever happens I hope that both the barrier to housing can be lowered and the supply raised to meet the new demand, I feel housing is a brilliant concept for an MMORPG (make a home away from home.. have a home!) so it's something I hope they can get everyone into and also then improve on with new systems and interactions.

Best wishes back at you
Thanks so much for the additional info! Wish I'd have known this when I posted hehe, would have saved me panic posting 4 segments but oh well, at least it's all there! I'm note entirely sure what you're referencing with the solution already being implemented but perhaps I'm just reading it incorrectly! I really do hope at least they opt for the instancing option, especially with the potential Ishgard housing as they know that it's such a huge wish from the community. I can't wait to start the rebuilding quests!

Your expansion on the apartments idea sounds lovely and we can only hope! Thank you so much for reading and the constructive feedback, I was super nervous about posting to the forum as I rarely do it but really thankful it's been generally well received so far! I can't emphasise enough that these are only suggestions and thoughts so after a particularly stressful housing weekend I felt the need to at least try to do my bit and take action by posting.
