All The FC Only Wards Are Empty

They needed 75% of the wards for uh, what, exactly?

Putting them to good use while they wait for the 1-Player 3-Alt FCs to hit to the 30 day barrier, I guess.

This was to be expected, most of fc wards in Ishgard in particular will just stay empty because 18 wards is absolutely overkill even on populated servers, in the meantime personal wards are getting absolutely hammered with tickets on every single plot available, very fair system indeed...

Out of all the new plots that came out after the lottery, maybe 5% are personal wards, at most 10%, everything else is FC ward, and of course the best plots are FC ward as well.

They said this would be adjusted. Give it time and they will open more up to private houses.

There is no time needed to see that there is absolutely no need for 18 FC wards, more than half of those houses are absolutely empty, if not 70% of them. It doesnt take an engineer to see that. The numbers should have been the opposite, 18 wards for personal and 6 for fc, or something more even like 12/12.

I am expecting they did it this way to purposefully give FC's access to more large houses and then after they have their crack at it they will open it up to private buyers to fill up the small and handful of medium left over.

There's also, you know, a major bug that's made an absurd amount of houses not claimable. I saw a large in the FC wards with 12 bids on it that no one won, because the bug has made either lotto ticket 0 (which doesn't exist) win, or it's not registering that people did bid.

Even then, 18 wards wont ever be filled, its simply too much.

Give it time? We've been waiting for "enough" housing for 10 years, and waiting on the new neighborhood to open for over 2 years. I'm done waiting. The amsrt move here is to dump this game. The devs obvious give zero shits about anything anymore.

Yeah, they'll adjust it just in time for the 30-day barrier to end and all the shell FC's to buy their totally-not-personal houses. Fixing absolutely nothing.

Riveting.

Maybe they could've used their heads for something other than a hat rack and realized they don't need over a thousand new plots for Free Companies only.

Also, I did wait. All the way back when they started teasing Ishgard housing - only to get told last minute "Btw you get to pick from 5 wards lol".

Well there'd be a few more houses in the FC wards if the 0 bug didn't happen. :^)
Plus, it's not like the wards need to be filled to the brim after the first round of lotteries.
