Why do you want a House?

[Besame]

N/A servers love their housing I started with a small house and upgraded to a med the old way about 3 yrs ago. Things are different now, I rarely ever see an open spot in my LBs. Hubby had a FC and quit, leaving me with a small house FC which I maintain and enjoy running subs and ships. I have 1 other friend who has an alt that keeps me company and will most likely leave him the FC one day. I am done babysitting people so we are very selective on FC patrons. I enjoy changing things around in the houses and it hardly costs me anything because I put the effort into crafting and gathering. Anyway, unless instanced housing comes, things will not change so we just carry on.

I am just looking for a Medium to relocate as a upgrade from my small. But as rare as med/large plots are I am in the same boat as those that dont have a house. I just like having a little piece to call my own :P

Good luck in 6.1~

Players will probably have slightly better luck if their aim isn't Ishgard. Trying to access Ishgard when the servers go live is going to be next to impossible, much less actually snagging a plot. Unless they actually add enough plots to meet the demand (LOL!) which will obviously never happen under the current system. I'll probably try, but if I can't get in within 5-10 minutes I'll likely hit the ground running and head to one of the other areas and hopefully snag a dream plot, because there's no way that there's going to be any medium or large plots left in Ishgard by that point, but probably some small plots here and there.

If you dont already have a house that qualifies for relocation, switching to the older areas early wont benefit you much. The houses that open up when people transfer out have the timer on them unless this is something they chance between now and then. If you do have a house and want a better one, your plan is fine. If homeless then still shoot for your dream Ishgard plot, but if it looks like you arent getting it make sure you buy an Ish small while they are off timer(ideally get one you like, though if you want to just see this as a house to be transferred later so be it). Then with a house(well, empty lot) in hand, you can quickly swap to the old zones and see if something you want to transfer into is open.

I wish everyone good luck. Unless the new zone is amazing, ill not be leaving my current lot. In fact, if it isnt truly spectacular i wont even rush to log in that morning so i dont mess with anyone elses login/que/etc.

As I said, slightly. You are correct that it benefits relocators more.

i never said "once", but redo it a few times and work with glitches, time spent piles up, + farming materials and crafting.

And I went on to talk about other potential possibilities in my post.

*Why did I want a house?
Primarily for FC to provide a home base for us to hang out and congregate and check in from time to time. Also if I see my neighboring FC mates gathered sometimes I pop over and /laliho and catch up a bit.

Specially if you have a certain theme in mind and having a medium/large where not space is the issue but item slots.

This game doesn't have the best MMO housing ever done or anything, but it has a nice aesthetic and provides a lot of different types of furnishings to play around with different themes and styles.

I like to make cozy spaces even if I'm the only person who will likely ever see them. I used to own two mediums (personal and FC) that I would periodically remodel along with apartments. I've since downsized to a single personal cottage.

It's given me something to do since I don't do some of the other content like savage or ex trials that keep others busy. So, for me, housing is an extremely important part of the game.

Update: Logged on earlier tonight was online for oh..6 hours. My co-lead and 2 other FC members logged on as well. Four of us online all at once made me smile have not had that many memebers online in a long time. <3 That aside did my routine housing check for a open plot, skimming through the Goblet. Right as I shift tabs on the ward I am looking at I see a open medium for 20 million. I had 15.2 million on me still rush too it too check it out knowing there was no way in Hell I would get the difference before it got snagged. Nobody was at it except one player just watching to see who came up. Told my Co-lead I had found it, He said go for it and showed up as well. Informed him its 20 million and I only had 15.2 million, and that I would be content waiting as I would get my chance eventually. Low and Behold he offers to spot me the additional gil

I thought I was about to die when he offered, He asked only that I keep it open door and decorate the life out of it as conditions. I agreed and said I would pay him back the 5 million soon as I got enough gil saved up again. He traded me the difference and I relocated my house.

House aside I don't think I could have asked for a more dedicated,loyal and friendly co-lead. He has done so much for my little struggling FC without me even asking him. Decided long ago that when I leave this game, I am leaving the FC and FC house in his hands, He has without questioned earned it. <3 Just thought to share this cause just seemed like lady luck dropped in hard and fast for me. I wish lady luck falls on others especially those trying to get a house.

Note: I relocated my personal house. Our FC house was relocated during the last ward addition.
