Multiple Houses

[Jojoya]

@catstab what you dont seem to realize is a couple players (120 per server) still doesn't compare to the 200 people potentially in a free company who could own 1 of thoses houses. So lets say 10 houses are actually owned buy 1 person or FC. That has the potential of allowing 2000 people to have a home. So if 120 houses are owned by 5 people on a server take away all but 1 from them thats 115 houses that become free. Now max case scenario FC's buy every house. Maximum amount to benefit would be 23,000 people per server. Minimum of 115. And only people who would suffer is 5 people. Now I get it that not every house will be owned by an FC but WAY more people will benefit from the few who lose. Them are the numbers and it's hard to argue with it. 200 people max having access to say 200 plots? Thats a lot of wasted potential especially since most of those FC's probably only have 1 active member.

Except the reality is few FCs have 200+ active unique members. In most cases those members don't benefit from the FC owning a house because officers tend to rigidly restrict house decorating privileges and rarely spend any gil made from gardening, workshops and company credits on the members. Access to purchasing FC chambers mean nothing when players can easily buy an apartment with or without FC membership.

You're dramatically inflating the potential impact when there just aren't that many multiple house owners out there, grandfathered or not, and most worlds don't even have 23,000 active players.

Do yourself and everyone else a favor. Turn your crusade toward something that actually would make a dramatic and positive impact on housing for the community - expansion of the instanced housing system - instead of on a dead cause that would only benefit a handful of players per server.
