Why do FCs get 75% of the wards?

[PMSJordan]

Yoshi has said several times to stop overhyping the islands.

Go to my comment on page 2 of this thread. It’s the 1st comment on the page. You will see the direct quote from him islands will come with housing and decorating.

Have they given any details for those of us in private homes they will now be in wards designated as FC-only? I can’t imagine I’m logging in tomorrow to be forcefully ejected from my plot?

Not that I'm aware of. They've grandfathered every plot into the mix so far, so normally I'd say that it is a safe bet that they will do the same thing now. But it's hard to say. I honestly don't know anymore.

No you won't be removed from the ward or your house. This only applies to new housing purchases. Your ward however if it's in wards 1-18 will only allow a FC purchase if someone transfers or electively demolishes their house given auto demolition is off at the moment.

As much as I appreciate this- I take his words with a grain of salt

He hath become Todd Howard with all the lies, lies, telling sweet little lies.

Not quite there yet, but he is certainly fast tracking his trajectory at the moment.

It just feels like they've entirely forgotten how bad things used to be in the past... even if you are a hardcore promoter of 'individual players shouldn't have housing and don't deserve to enjoy the content if they're not leading an FC'... this isn't going to help your issue at all, this isn't going to promote community this is going to promote the exact opposite. I already know 2 friends who will be leaving their respective FCs if they can't get a personal house in order to make 1 man FCs so they can later on bid on houses in the FC wards.

This will also once again up the popularity of RMT FC-House sellers who will charge real money in order to pass ownership of a house over (something which personal plots entirely make impossible by the way) and on most servers save for the obscenely overpopulated you're going to now see empty wards with tons of empty plots that are unusable because you need to be in an FC to get them while the 19-24 wards will be at capacity.

Also saying "Oh just wait to 6.2 and they will reevaluate it" is very mean spirited to say to a LOT of people who have been playing this game for years, hoping and waiting for a more fair system so they can enjoy an aspect of the game they've only been getting a taster for but locked out of due to limited housing (apartments which imo are far faaar too limiting compared to how much you can decorate in houses).

Just let those of us who have apartments add greenhouses, balconies, another floor or two and courtyards to them. Problem solved.

I mean, context is everything. So I went and looked for the context which is apparently this, and as I thought, he used that sentence to separate what general Housing does from Island Sanctuary being different.

I simply dislike getting hopes up, and I dislike it even more when the devs are later accused of having lied, when they never did and something was just taken out of context.

I'd be down for Island Sanctuary coming with a house, but... eh, doubt.

[Imora]

All I gotta say, is that had I known they were gonna do this, I'd have botted a placard. Better chance doing that than I do with this lottery, I'll tell ya.

Phoenix has over 110k people on it, and they think 300 houses is going to fix anything?
