Housing Revision opinion

[LianaThorne]

Just putting it out there that some people do leave FCs with friends to form smaller ones and keep it small intentionally because they don't want to associate with people outside of their chosen friend group. Not everyone has a desire to be in a 500 person FC or even one in the double digits (I am in one of the top 10 FCs in my server, for the record).

It's a valid way of playing. Leave those people alone, they aren't harming anyone by wanting to just be with their friends.

This post is starting to read like some are butthurt that they can't make an FC and get a house that way, so punish everyone.

creating stricter requirements for fc's alongside the 45 day for solo house owners is honestly quite fair
active players and active fcs should benefit from housing and not those who pay a sub to just occupy a virtual house

for fcs, iirc, you don't even have to be the owner of the house, just go in the house and timer refreshes
it's an unfair advantage
and oft if this is happening that means the fc is just taking up space

if i wanna have it even more my way - if you need an email to tell you to log in bc "house" - ya don't need it.

Yes you do have to be the owner of the house to reset the timer.

FCs are anyone in the FC. Only personals require the homeowner to reset it.

Nevermind then, I stand corrected

Very rude of you to insinuate that I, an MMORPG player, should actually have to play with others and that if I want what's intended to be a group feature that I should actually have a group. HELLO??????????????? I'm above all rules.

I wonder if it is too little too late. Lots of shell FCs have popped up in recent days (since the lottery was announced and the requirements made known). FCs where players split off from the main FC, joined the new FC - zerged the FC rank up. Left a few players in there to bid, and the rest either went back to the main FC or moved on to zerg another shell FC.

Lots of these plots are already snapped up. I guess better late than never. SE should have just used the first lottery round as the barometer for actual demand for FC plots and switched it up during the lottery hiatus to fix the bug.

There's still a ton of smalls left in the Empyreum on my server. If FCs (social or solo) don't snag them up between now and the 10th, chances are there will be plenty left for solo players to buy up. In my FC plot's ward alone, I own one of the only 2/3 smalls that were actually snagged during the lottery cycles. The bulk of them are in what is currently FC only wards, but they will be opened to personals soon. Like I've said in another thread, if anyone is desperate for a plot, come on over. lol

That's great. If it pans out that there are still plenty of players getting these houses, that's great. It looks to me that many of these smalls were snapped up by shell FCs. Maybe not all servers are like that.
