The exact date for recommencement will be alongside the release of 6.3. They do state that suspension may come back "if the need arises".

But why...?

It's not like we'll be struggling with housing vacancies with the new data centers/worlds, not to mention 1,800 new plots in 6.3.

I guess I can't take any more breaks for a while :c

Ah, well guess that means I really outta work on making a cafe theme house. D;

Took them long enough, should've been enabled again 9 months ago. Also the fact they're not reseting the timer for people that were ticking down prior to the system being disabled is guaranteed to catch at least one person out.

I wish they would just disable it entirely or atleast put it up to super long timers like over a year.

1800 plots is not a lot on NA servers outside of Dynamis.
Those 1800 plots are also gonna be split between FCs and individuals - and considering the demand for ward housing is mostly from individual players.

The last I checked, the average NA server outside Dynamis has ~20k active characters based on Lodestone/census data.

Currently there are 7200 ward houses per server. With an additional 1800 houses, it comes to 9000 houses.

20,000 - 9000 = 11,000 ward house shortage

Of course, not every players wants a ward house but the point is that the housing supply is nowhere close to the demand.

borderline criminal of se.

I have to pay subs to reset the timer? Blasphemy!

SE's logic seems to be to encourage taking breaks but still continuing to pay them money.
