Plots everywhere demolished and open!

[Seraphor]

Yeah, I went back to check and most I could have gotten were already gone, I have to wait until tomorrow. And there is at least one person at almost every plot, I don't know if there will even be any left tomorrow.. Don't think I've ever felt so left out by a housing system, until this game. I have too many houses in other games.

Quite a lot of plots still in the Goblet on my server Zodiark, and timers have mostly expired now, just snatched it up when I decided to log in for 10 minutes. No waiting or camping necessary.

Not the case on Excalibur. In fact, most of the houses that were available at my time of posting last night are gone. I have searched ward by ward. The only things that are left now are a few with a 3 hour timer. Every single plot had a timer.

... and about 2-4 bots sitting right outside them, scripting the sale, am I right?

That's what it is on Levi right now.

Welp, I did it, I beat housing extreme.

I'm just bewildered, I literately just walked up to the plot while there was someone camping the plot, and bought it, that's it. Christ, I don't even know where to start, maybe I should finish getting my crafters to 80 for the decor, but that would involve crafting and holy hell do I find 5.X crafting boring.

...there's 2 million people dead to COVID. What are the odds that some of them are FFXIV players and obviously can't log in?

but then lets also assume that most of the players couldn't afford their subs anymore because no job, home, etc before the timer was reinstated.

Anyway, I'm gonna forgo taking part in this housing frenzy, good luck to everyone.

No doubt he/she was AFK.

Expect most cases are marked as covid, person could die due to cancer or some other illness that has nothing to do with the virus. But I have no doubt many of these people are still struggling without jobs yes.

It’s very nice. I would say between 5.35 and this the housing situation on my server has just about been solved. If we get ishgard soon then I would say houses are available for all who want if the demolitions go back to normal.

But now it obviously becomes about getting medium and large. But still this is a really good step lots of happy people today.

[Vickii]

And it's EVERY ONE -- and most of them have the frown face (Do Not Contact). I mean, they have more gil than basically any legitimate player and can just park and script.

You basically almost HAVE TO break the TOS right now to even THINK of getting player housing.

Depends where you’re playing. On Cerberus I can go to any ward and walk up to a house the timer expired on and buy it.

Yea this is what I did on my alt on Malboro no one camping in the Goblet. Really didn't look around just walked up and simply bought one. When I popped back into Aether which I have a med. plot on already. People were camping the sought out spots but no one camping the undesirable goblet spots. I still stand by get the first one that pops up even it is undesirable. Having a plot is better than nothing and it unlocks the opportunity upgrade and bypass future timers on desirable plots.

Most long term players know that buying a house is the worst thing you can do in the game due to how it got implemented. You lose the ability to drop the game for a while and come back fresh instead of being dragged through the game until it loses all it's magic. Believe me, I've been there. Just about everyone who left and said they would remember to log on at least once to keep their house while taking a three month or six month hiatus lost their house.

Specifically three or four people I had on my friends list who stopped at 5.2x and didn't log on even when I told them in discord that they were going to lose their plots. :x
