Please more housing wards soon. And no more FC/Private Hybrid.

[Themarvin]

Currently there is a load of free housing plots on several servers in the amount if you want one, go get one, and transfer to another server if it is that important to you, if you decided to stay on a server that is severe overpopulated to a degree it get an issue, then the solution is to go somewhere else.

Stop creating or finding a problem where there is none.

1. I DO NOT WANT to transfer to a new data center to get a house.

2. I DO NOT WANT to leave my FC, and my friends behind or my SO.

3. I DO NOT WANT to leave a good RP spot behind. So stop this crap with ''OH JUST MOVE ITS SO EASY LUL''

They always tell you to transfer character to an empty server and then use data center travel but they forgot to mention that you cannot:
- use retainers
- gather legendary nodes
- check linkshells
- enter verminion tournaments
- enter triple triad tournaments
- play jumbo cackpot
- check your ingame mail
- play ranked crystalline conflict
- get invited to a wedding

So you either get stuck alone in an empty server or constant hopping back and forth just to use a retainer drives you insane. All for a house. Great idea guys

People suggest it because being extremely blunt, it is the only solution you'll get for a long time. 7.1 is realistically the earliest they'll do any sort of housing, if they actually want to add anything, and that's realistically a year ish away.

The beginning of EW & when Island Sanctuary dropped showcase that the Housing server does not have enough instances to support the entire playerbase, as people were getting locked out of being able to enter their homes entirely during those periods of time due to too many instances open at the same time. Meaning any solution to give every player unequivocal access to a house will -not- work and will instead introduce an entirely different and much more serious problem in its stead.

The devs have constantly mentioned they want the playerbase to spread out across the datacenters, so housing is a good mechanic to drag people kicking and screaming to Dynamis/smaller servers. They have zero reason to put in any more housing until Dynamis & smaller servers fills up.

If you want a house without torturing yourself on hilariously low lottery odds from huge competition, you go to Dynamis or a smaller server. If you want to stay on a larger server, you play ridiculous odds in the lottery and realistically don't get a house.
Pick your poison, because an antidote ain't coming for a loooongggg time. It's the uncaring, blunt reality, and why people suggest to go somewhere else. Staying on huge RP servers with huge housing demand like Balmung or Mateus is a self-inflicted punishment that more wards won't even fix in reality.

Also speaking as someone who has tons of friends on both Aether & Crystal and hops between both near daily to play with the different friend groups, I really don't get why people say anything like 'leaving their friends behind'. You can literally go right back and play with them in <1min at any point. And if they won't join a CWLS because you no longer share an FC to keep easy communication between you when you're travelling back to play with them? Then hate to break it to ya, they weren't really your friends.

Have you considered using alts to place 7 bids on a free company plot? You could use your main character to hop between your alts' fc and your current fc whenever you want to decorate. If you like to keep multiple characters in your current fc, you can put 6 of them back there after winning the house. Just keep 1 alt as the master.

This would still allow you to potentially keep bidding on personal plots with your main if that's your ultimate goal. The benefit of bidding on an fc plot instead of personal plot with your alts is that if one of your alts wins a personal plot, your main character will not have access to it and you will not be able to get a personal plot for your main character on that server.

Considering there are Mateus plots out there with ~10 bids right now, 7 lottery tickets would give you significantly better odds than 1 and it would give you access to housing whilst staying on your server. I'll help you set it up if you're interested.

True. but right now i only have 1 main wich is my main Ahri, and my alt is already bidding on unwanted plots, but even those i lose.

But it dosn't discourage me as it used to honestly. I guess i'm just trying out of futility, but it's better than not trying.

And just know please, i'm not against you or anything, i really do appriciate the effort you put into replying to me and all.. and i know im not easy to deal with, but i do appriciate that a fellow neighbour (country wise) is taking their time to write to me. <3

not being sarcastic either <3

All of this is correct, but it's really only a band-aid solution even then with withering odds. Last round my FC bid on a medium in Lavender beds and it had 65 bids by day 3. Not sure how many bids there were by the time we claimed the plot last week, but I would estimate the number was extremely high and winning with one bid was nothing short of a miracle. This was plot 11 Lavender beds on Maduin, by the way. Transferring to Dynamis is absolutely no guarantee of success, and the best window of opportunity has already come and gone.

It's basically no effort to increase your odds, just a 30 day wait time after fc creation during which you could easily reach rank 6. One alt has to be at least level 25 in order to create the fc and collect 3 signatures. The signatures can come from the same account, so your friend or your SO could make 3 alts. I've helped several people with signatures this way. If you make more alts for more bids, they only need to be able to access the housing district. There is no level requirement to bid on free company plots.

Don't wait too long to decide. This will no longer be effective in Dawntrail when people return to the game and try their luck with housing. You'll have to wait until 2025 for there to be a reasonably low amount of bids again. We will probably not be getting new wards or a district in Dawntrail because otherwise they would've used it as a selling point for the expansion.

Plot 11 in LB is the most popular along with 41 in subdiv, duh?

There are med goblets with literally 0 bids or close to it every cycle. Same with empy.

Those are the open meds right now on Dynamis and the amount of bids :
