Whats wrong with the housing demo timer??

[Eldevern]

Housing is broken... that's not new. And you are the second thread with this problem today XD

We are several people who request actual housing for everyone.

Easiest and cheapest one for SE
+ upgrade apartements with several sizes
+ an option (or included) for a greenhouse

It's unlikely to expect a full Wildstar-like overhaul, even thought I would love it. Something :
+ Instancied
+ Virtual neighborood
+ Upgradable and evolutive
+ Alt shared
+ Workshop even for individuals (they already have made some changes about how workshop craft are handled)
One per server would be nice but I can deal with one by world (if it can be as huge as to build a castel as Titania's one :3)

I imagine they could create a FC ward system that is evolutive and allow FCs member to have some kind of neighborood.

PS : I'm not blaming, it is just teasing a little ^_^

Yes to all of this! This whole thing about wanting wards to feel like neighborhoods is trying too hard to create something that players don't want. And this is coming from someone that had a medium house and gave it up willingly because I just stopped caring (and also went abroad for a year so I just let it expire). I could've sworn I read somewhere, maybe in one of the PLLs about apartments getting an upgrade one day.. at the very least, something like an instanced courtyard or greenhouse where we could grow crops or have outdoor decorations.

It would be awesome to do housing similar to what ESO does.. where every race has a themed place or look (although they're not limited to that). What I've always wondered is... since we can now travel to other worlds as easily as going to the aetherite, why not have separate housing servers that could accommodate things like this?

I want the neighborhoods. I like my house where it is.

Same. While I don't know all my neighbours, there's often enough a shout convo whenever someone mt's and we get along fine. It's kinda nice and homey, imo.

This. It's not like I talk to all my neighbours, but I like running around seeing people there and also admiring how they decorate their plots (though mine is still empty because I'm trying to redesign it but I'm out of gil... well, at least the garden is done /sigh). The only complains I have is items amount limit and strong need of using glitches if you want to make something specific.

As for plots hunting... I was on Ragnarok, and was lucky to get S in Shiro, but in general hunting for plots on overpopulated servers is a PITA. I wanted a medium in Shirogane, and since I didn't really have anything what would tie me to the server, I transferred to Spriggan and took the exact plot I wanted to. If people want for a house badly and don't have circumstances that stop them from transferring - they should consider it as an option. For those who can't transfer... well, good luck. I doubt that there will be any 100% workable solution for this issue ever.
