How To Frustrate Your Player Base 101

[Mr_Happy]

This is your guide on how to exacerbate your player base.

First step create an elitist housing system where only a handful of players can enjoy a massive portion of content that is incredibly important to many many MMO players.

Second step lottery the very small limit quantity of houses

Third step draw the results and watch as the majority of your player base is upset and anguished over losing while a handful of lucky players are happy and having a fun time enjoying content that the rest of us paying subers are locked out of...


Now for real check out my other post about how EVERY player in the game should have a house not just a handful of elites.

Constantly running full wards is a massive drain on system resources. The majority of resources for instanced houses are not being used if no players are there. Please leave the past behind and come to the present/future of gaming which is instanced gaming.

You could be me and not care about housing. I know it's not any consolation, but I'm here unaffected by their(Squareenix's) ineptitude.

If only it was that easy xD... I got hooked on housing playing other MMOs and cannot settle for a sub par experience anymore haha

It's pretty easy for me. Though I do understand your frustration. You want to participate in a system and because of the system being implemented terribly you cannot. It's not your fault and unfortunately no amount of moaning on the internet is going to fix it. Their fix was random chance. They still haven't fixed that people can own whole wards. They're morons. So before you raise your blood pressure about it just remember to chill out. Like I said they could delete it overnight and I wouldn't bat an eye.

You make a very good point for sure, cannot take this game to seriously. It's just not going to be the one. Will have fun with it for a little while though at least.

This is the first time I've heard people are unhappy with the housing situation.

Maybe it's fine how it is, but they shouldn't have made it so cheap that anyone could afford whatever plot they wanted.

But then again, they originally said that Personal Housing would be separate from FC Housing, Yoshi lied.

But whatever, they need to enforce the One plot per character per World rule, as we see on New Worlds, complete Wards taken by one player using FC's.
They don't even hide it using the same Tag and ' in the FC name so they can be extremely obvious.

Also, they really need a cooldown on relocation, such as 90 days from the purchase of a plot before you can relocate.

Oh no, not the people taking over absolutely empty wards on new worlds, it sure is better they just stay empty forever.

Also lol @ 90 days for relocation, peak comedy

Fourth step is to make a topic discussing it when countless others already exist?
One of them was even from yourself!
