Wow. That's pretty generous I'd say. They've just swapped the number of wards dedicated to each which kinda makes sense.

It's already too late because all of the Medium and Large on old residential area already taken...

But nice for those who only into Small plots

Larges sitting open on Sophia without bids and mediums in Ishgard on Materia. Thinking of getting a private next to my FC which is a large. Haven't checked the other wards but wouldn't be surprised it's the same.

I have been yelling from the roof tops that square cares about housing and have been vilified for it. I am happy to have been vindicated thank you square.

The allocation change is occurring AFTER the new home worlds launch for Chaos and Light DCs. Interesting but it also makes sense as it'll stop people from moving just for a house without any interesting in actually making a community on said new home worlds.

Honestly in my view this should have been the initial ward split half and half. I think they'll need to adjust it again but we'll see. This at least gives the private buyers another shot at it. I think wards should be a mix of private and FC but I suspect the lower wards will probably always have that FC designation.

I feel like FCs just dont like small houses so I'd rather have all the smalls opened up for private buyers. The plot I want most is in a second ward, so I guess I'm just unlucky.

Housing wards on those worlds will be quite literally unavailable on launch. So the split has no relevancy for them.

I wonder what this text means in the update relative to new EU worlds.

* Housing areas for the four New Worlds added to the European data center will be classified differently. Further details will be announced at a later date. Perhaps the split will be different.
