... Instanced housing would ruin the feeling of having an actual spot in the world Eorzea and will negatively affect the RP community as a whole.

Surely it would only be beneficial for the RP community if those of us with no interest in housing RP get instanced houses instead? Assuming the wards are not removed along with the addition of real instanced houses it seems to me the wards would only get livelier if only those that actually seek shared housing spaces bought a place in them.

I took my gil out it was first untill later I found out that number 0 was not a number.... I am really pissed now I give a f. about their have not removed whatever thign that is frigggen slick way to get away with this...

Limited number of small apartments.

And because the instance server can't handle it all. It is already running every dungeon/raid/trial that goes on simultaneously, plus all the apartments, private chambers, housing interiors, etc.

There is a concern for exclusivity with that. People trying to get into the non-instanced ward to live in. It would be a weird balance but hey if it works it works. I keep saying it but I feel like there are to many stagnant wards bc of the demolishing timer still being on pause

this is an entitlement post "i got a house so your problem is solved and stop complaining" 1 out of 1000 people in the game have a house thats the ratio yet all of us pay the same sub. what makes others unworthy of enjoying the game to its limits ? are the ones with housing paying more for their sub ? or the same as everyone else who cant get to enjoy housing ?

A lot of people lost, and your post comes over as insensitive to them.

It's best not to rub their noses in it OP.

I got mine years ago during the placard savages. Sorry if you feel that way but no solutions seems to please everyone.



I will say this and keep saying it. With the demolition timer off atm it 100% is harder. That's on SE and Yoshi being nice during this long pandemic. I've had friends change servers right before endwalker to get a house.l and that wasn't to long ago. I scanned wards and camped placards during the start of shadowbringers when the population spiked and got one. 100% if you were actively trying to get a house for years you would have one. Maybe not the house you originally wanted but a house none the less.

"Can I get my relic weapons without grinding for them please? It's only fair SE since so many people have them" That is what your argument sounds. Right now it's close to impossible but instead of adding wards shorted the demolition timer to 20days instead if 35 and you will plots open up like last time the timer was actively being used

Sorry that we don't have all the time in the world to stay online and camp for a placard and win by chance, your argument is flawed because there's people out there trying to get a house and not being able to because of this outdated method SE is using, no one here is asking SE to just hand out houses as you sugggested with your relic commentary, we want a system that works and is fair for everyone and the majority is completely against the current system, I want a house for at least 4 years and I didn't stop playing the game, I did not get a house, what about that? I mean based off your idea I should've gotten a house because I wanted one for years and kept trying, I even moved servers and still couldn't get one.

This is by no means a solution to the housing problem. But I will give you a tip for when the small FC plots are again open for personal housing. Don't go for first, middle, or last wards, those are the ones most people go for. And get one on a subdivision ward, those are not as popular. Once you get a home, you will start seeing more open plots, even for M or L, because your mind will not be focused on your frustration over not yet owning one. Our first house was the hardest to get, we managed to secure two mediums (first one was far from MB so we moved again), and now a Large.

Tbh, there is a higher chance of getting a house when new wards are released because most people are fixated on the idea of owning a Mansion. So small plots get often ignored.

Hope they open more wards for personal housing soon.

A neighborhood is a community grouping of people who all equally contribute to a better living area. Log in. Whisper your neighbors. Visit friends areas/fcs. It's not something you just grt without work

Can't whisper someone who is never online when you're online.

Can't make friends to send a mail to contact someone who is never online when you're online.

Not everyone is looking to be social with their housing, either. Do you leave your doors unlocked all the time on your real life home with a big sign in your front yard saying "Welcome! Come in anytime you want"?

Adding in instanced housing will remove the demand for houses and leave more who do want the social experience you describe (not that they are likely to get it when the other owners aren't online at the same time, or if they are they're likely in other zones doing other content).

The demo timer has nothing to do with wards being stagnant. They were just as stagnant when the demo timer was active.

Splitting up housing into 240 different locations per world does. There could be 100 other players in Mist right now and I wouldn't see a single one of them because they are not in my ward and I am not in theirs.

Wards are stagnant because the player population for each ward is diluted.

So instancing everything on top of eachother would help with socializing how exactly? You move from open areas to one that has hundreds of houses layered on top of eachother. If you think the demo timer being paused for so long hasn't affected the housing situation I'd love to hear your reasoning more in depth. When the timer was going and I was looking for a home I'd see at least 4 to 8plots become available a week per residential disctrict.

If the player population for each ward is diluted then how come there aren't open plots? Instancing all districts into one, then placing all the homes on top of eachother seems like taking what we have now and funneling it into a tiny space. How can anyone socialize when every house is in its down instance. You say not everyone wants to socialize then make claims about increasing socializing so which is it to you?
