Opening of housing on new worlds

[Stormpeaks]

"Commencement of Sales
From Thursday, July 28, 2022 at 8:00 a.m. (PDT)
* Residential areas will become accessible starting Wednesday, July 27 at 0:00 a.m. (PDT), prior to the commencement of sales."

For the record, Oceanic took from 2 to 3 months to open their housing.

What gives this only took 3 weeks ? Home world transfer has not even been opened yet, and most people did not manage to make an FC there or were too busy leveling.

This is screwing up everyone as people didnt even get a single chance to make fcs and to move there to get some communities going.

Housing opening on new worlds always has been multiple months, how is this any different and in particular how is it fair ?

I am happy for my European friends they are not being made wait the 4 months + (1 extra for zero bug) they made us wait, but hmm;

It's super surprising they are not letting FCs form and level up the 30 days. But it means those who made their shells on day 1 of the servers will get the prime plots in wards 1-12 on 5th of August and those waiting for homeworld transfer to start a FC will miss out and be left with smalls as they watch the day 1 shells lap up the cream.

Edit: To be fair for everyone in those datacentres, I'd urge SE to reconsider and keep the new EU server's housing locked until 30 days pass from the restart of home transfers.

This is the biggest issue, as you mentioned it will all go to shell fcs and potential venues, actual players who wanted to transfer there and "establish" their fcs wont even have the choice to do so, it's absolutely ridiculous.

Make it so it starts 30 days from the reopening of home world transfer which is today, and this is fair, however this is not with such timing.

Maybe it's the shell FC's that encouraged them to do this. I know it sucks for legitimate FC's and 30 days should have been a minimum. Certainly going to give an advantage to those who actually created characters and have been leveling them.

True. Just really surprising they're opening it that quickly. It won't hurt people buying personals it seems and they've given half of the wards to them so far this go around.

"The wait period is too long, all the shell FCs are adding too much competition!!!"

"The wait period is too short, now none of the FCs can get a house!!!"

Ffs, there's no pleasing you people at all.

Home world transfer was not even enabled during all that time, dont try and blame it on the players AGAIN.

I feel bad for the FCs with actual real communities who are deciding to move to the new players to get a better plot for their FCs.

Now instead, the premium plots will pretty much go to hoarders who establish shell FCs on the new servers from the very first day and actual FCs are once again screwed again by SE's weird decisions. Bravo.

Considering an FC can't buy until it's 30 days old... I think it's a bit nonsensical for SE to open housing before the server is even that old!

[Archaell]

This is ridiculous. Market boards in new servers are ghost town and they already push housing this early? I got an alt with FC ready just in case, so can participate, but this schedule is not nice to new players at all.

Yet again, another housing issue, that would've been solved if we had instanced housing.
