Nope you didn't add enough plots SE...

5 minutes for half
10 minutes for all of them.

On Zalera, I would say about 15 minutes before the rest were on timers due to relocations. We ended up with a really great group in my new Goblet ward. We started our own LS called the Neighborhood Watch!

I am faerie. I got kicked from launcher as soon as I hit play at 3 am. got in the queue at 838, got in about 7 minutes later peeked at the new wards, All meds and large were gone, smalls were getting snatched up pretty quick. I wanted #11 med but I was like 2 minutes to late but lucked out and found a med in ward 4 land relocated from my small in ward 12 #24 (which is a pretty sweet small honestly)

This exact same scenario is going to play out when and if ishgard housing becomes opens.

Got in at server start. 166 in queue.

I was seconds away from losing the medium I was at to a mix-up in housing. I barely hit relocate in time.

My FC leader got screwed though. Utterly screwed. lobby error kept us from upgrading our FC to a large. Frustrating as hell the one thing we couldn't have planned for was lobby errors screwing us FOR THE SECOND TIME.

God it's always lobby errors.

Relocating is a huge part of the problem. They opened these for new players, not so you could move house.

Yeah, relocating should have been "turned off" or the timer should have been turned off, temporarily.

big houses instand gone. rest around 10-15min

[MyneJoestar]

I wonder if this game has ability to perform rollback? Prepatch before 5.4, and DISABLE relocation, and perhaps 20 more wards?

It doesnt hurt to release 5.4 with few additional security involved.

At 25 minutes in, Balmung still had a couple of smalls left in the new wards that took people about an additional 10 minutes or so to distinguish from the ones that already had timers from people moving. I didn't see how long it took for the mediums and larges to go, but I suspect it was within a minute or two.

Relocating is a huge part of the problem. They opened these for new players, not so you could move house.

On Balmung, the number of moved houses on Balmung is in the order of roughly 20 or so per housing region. So roughly about 80 or so people moved. Compared to the 720 new plots, moving is not a major contribution to any of this. Particularly when you consider that the plots they moved from become available, albeit with a timer.

Edit: The house next to my FC house came up so I ended up moving to it from the Lavender Beds about an hour ago. It's still just a small, but now I don't have to pick and choose which house to hang out at anymore. I'll miss the Lavender Beds plot, because it was in my top 2 small plots in that district, but I'm happy this go around with being so close to my FC now. People are already camping the spot I left too.

Every plot was gone inside of 5 minutes.
