Why are some wards not allowing purchase?

[Archeron]

Well the Population of Dynamis isn't exactly Booming Most people who wanted a house, got a house. The vast majority of our wards are completely undecorated. Especially the FC wards, owned by submarine/airship farmers. Personal wards are frequently losing a giant portion of their houses to auto demolition. I expect that these wards will not be open until 6.5, or 7.0. Don't forget that Dynamis has 4 more worlds pending, assuming the population grows large enough.

While Empyreum is pretty popular on my server, I wouldn’t choose to live there or Goblet because it’s all stone with little to no nature features. Mist is mostly marble too… I mean Goblet and Empy have pretty mountain views but that’s about it. Put some more trees and water in there somewhere! Outside of Goblet’s pool and Empy’s hot springs, there’s barely even a fountain anywhere. What LB and Shiro have is lots of natural beauty, to the point where there’s no truly awful plots in those districts.

I doubt at this point that they’ll ever fully redesign the wards, but hopefully they keep preferences in mind when building the next residential district. Lots of people think it will be Old Sharlayan, and it could end up being really nice, but only if they balance out the nature scenery with the marble of the city’s hub. Otherwise it’ll be just another stone city, with little appeal outside of lore reasons.

They're still closed for the reason you detailed - there are still over 300 plots available on Raiden. Players who really want a house are free to choose from what's still available. They could always relocate later if something more to their liking becomes available.

That they aren't taking one of them indicates they aren't really interested in housing and so SE has no reason to open up the additional wards.

People are clearly interested in housing, but clearly not enough to live in ugly ass Goblet. They rather bid on plots with others bidders than to get guaranteed in Goblet.

You also underestimate how much are people informed about relocating, or even it's existence.
Even if they are, you still lose 85% of your original house's price, and not everybody is fine that, even for S costing "just" 4 million.

But reality is that truly dead servers like Saggitarius has 1300+ houses, which is where I would understand not opening wards. So once again, it's SE being lazy and wanting to open wards of all new servers at the same time, instead of doing that based on individual server's need.

Why? Because money. Both in terms of server data savings and of course scarcity promotes subscription slavery. Also, to have those six zones (25 through 30) sitting there visible month after month -- but, no touchie! -- on servers like Phantom or Phoenix is downright insulting.

Look, The Big Man doesn't care about housing, so none of his minions care about it either. That's how JCompanies work. You could see them give up completely caring back when Shadowbringers launched with no new housing zone. Of course nothing with Endwalker and I can guarantee that there will be nothing with Dawntrail. "Oh, maybe we'll increase the decor limit... maybe in the future... blah, blah, blah... " That's as much of a nod as us housing fanatics will ever get. Double guarantee they'll find some way to forget about that flippant half-hearted promise.

Honestly, we're wasting our time talking about it here. No-one from S-E ever reads the forums.

I have a FC in Brimming Heart right on the pool on Balmung and love it.

Everyone has different opinions. It's usually not a good thing to assume that everyone shares yours.

Regardless, as long as there are several plots available to both FCs and individuals on Dynamis then SE will not be opening the remaining wards. If Dynamis players that do not have a house want to get one, they are better off getting what's available rather than holding out for something better. Once what is available is mostly full, then SE will open the remaining wards so they'll have a chance to get something better.

Seems that my anti-Goblet propaganda is working. How about a triple down?

I don't see why opening wards in new EU servers should be affected by new NA datacenter in any capacity. I get that Dynamis is dead, but new EU servers except Sagittarius are not, and we had auto demolition disabled for a long time, so availability of houses was only decreasing and never increasing.
