What Housing Wards are going to be open for private buyers?

[Jodh]

What Wards in the game will be open for private buyers? I cannot find anything to explain all Districts, only the Empyerium District. Will 19 through 24 be private across ALL Districts? Or will there be different plots spread out?

There are no marking on any of the ward signs on the main residential screen. I have seen several wards open up, but none are stating if they are FC or Personal unless you physically go to the plot in question.

Am I missing something somewhere?

The restrictions are the same for all districts at the moment. 1-18 are FC only bids and 19-24 are for personal bids. If you're viewing the ward listings, next to where it says "Plots 1-30" and "Plots 31-60" you'll see two symbols. The first is either a pyramid of dots (fc only) or a single person that loooks kind of like a fat i (personal only).

It’s a poorly thought system. Not only the number of wards allocated to private housing is insufficient but if an individual who owns a house in wards 1-18 of an older city bids and wins a new plot, the older plot will be removed from the pool of private housing.

Do we know when the old wards will be available? Is it the same time as the next lottery round?

All houses will go up for bid again on the 26th that includes old wards and Ishgard.

I thought those icons were bidding vs ffa?

because of (quote) "Depending on the housing ward, land may be purchased on a first-come, first-served basis, or by lottery." and (quote) "Housing areas are divided into plots available for purchase by either free companies or private buyers, and a plot’s usage is restricted accordingly." i guess the following:

1st icon is FC/private. 2nd icon is lottery.
