Why do you want a House?

[Arohk]

SE for not enforcing a 1 house per acct from day 1 and still after years, not fixing the mess they created.

Well i can't tell you a solution for this, maybe the best for the masses would be to take away those additional houses players own, and only leave them the largest one, or the house with the most items inside.
My Server is very young and doesnt have that problem to begin with so i don't know how bad it is for others. Last time i checked a few days ago, Goblet had 16 free plots available, i also know a lot of people dont even have enough Gil on my server to afford a small one, although 3-4 million really isnt that much.

Show me a world where this is still accurate and I'll transfer immediately. If not, your 2+ year old data is acknowledged as no longer relevant.

Twintania always has free plots.

I actually checked phoenix. Nada in lavender beds at least. I don't have the gil for it anyway. ><

I will rephrase. Show me a NA world that has open plots.

I bet most of the people whining about not getting a house in here would play around for a few hours with it, then realize how much work it is to actually build something nice and then never enter their house again just blocking the plot for someone else.

Before you even buy a house, are you willing to invest hundreds of hours into it? Do you even have all crafting jobs at max to create the furnitures?

I have seen too many orphaned houses because people think they must have one and then not doing anything with it, its sad and unfair for those whoa ctually are into the whole housing/decorating thing.

I hope you're trying to be sarcastic here because the majority of it is nonsense.

You're exaggerating when you say decorating takes hundreds of hours. I've been able to decorate a small house for friends who wanted a simple look in about 3 hours. Think the most I've ever spent on a total remodel of my own medium house is about 30 hours over 3 days and part of that was wasted time because my original idea wasn't working to my satisfaction. It doesn't take that long to decorate if you've already got in idea in mind.

No one needs to have all the jobs at max to be capable of making every furnishing themselves. The MB does exist. I buy some of what I use when I remodel because it's convenient.

Just because you don't see someone sitting at their house 24/7 doesn't make it an "orphaned house". There's a lot of content in the game to enjoy, and almost none of it is found in the housing wards. Few are going to sit at their house all day ignoring the rest of the game.

Certainly there are some players who buy a house then ignore it but that number is smaller than you imply.

You stated "never". We've stated you're wrong because we've had actual experience to the contrary. Now you're moving the goalposts.

There may not currently be empty wards like we saw in the past but there are still many worlds outside of NA that have plots immediately available for purchase.

I understand the frustration you're experiencing at being unable to get a house. i've had friend go through it. But unless SE does something that solve the supply problem once and for all, it will continue to be a problem for players no matter how many different purchase systems get tried.

Just remember that most of those players who relocate already had to sit through several sessions of Housing Savage to even get a house that can be relocated. They paid their dues and now they're moving to a plot they like better than the one they had to settle for.

They are not the problem - the supply is.

I will rephrase. Show me a NA world that has open plots.

As expected, you once again moved the goalposts because others have to point out you're wrong.

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.

And, you can do it faster because you got experience ? so? i wonder what you make in 3 hours, it can look good for sure, but probably wont be outstanding and you probably already got a lot of materials or furniture in storage.

Yeah, I would highly doubt that it takes most players hundreds of hours to decorate a house once, at least to any significant degree. It does seem like a bit of an exaggeration, but I guess everyone moves at their own pace. It's entirely within the realm of possibility. Personally, I rarely ever redecorate, but I'm switching things out or moving some things around pretty regularly, so I guess it could amount to hundreds of hours eventually? I guess some players might see their plot as more of an ongoing project and decorate it slowly over time though, and THAT could fit the bill of "hundreds of hours". I did a pretty significant revamp of my medium's exterior a couple weeks back and 2 floors of my interior and it actually took me awhile. I started around 2pm that day and wasn't completely finished until 9-10pm, and even then I was still moving things around and adding stuff for at least 4 days. lol I was doing roulettes off and on and waiting for inspiration to hit me though, but it took awhile. I'm still messing with things a bit off and on. It can be a...process.

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~

Yes, I'm moving the goalposts from old data and non-relevant personal experiences on a world that isn't in NA. Meanwhile, I still see at least eight people show up for every plot, and half the time it ends up being swiped by a relocate. No problems at all here, certainly. Housing is just fine.
