It really depends of the kind of house we will get.

Giving up a small house in a ward which you can't upgrade to get a bigger instanced house? Sure why not?

The island already shows that we can have much more garden furniture in an instance. Which would be another bonus.

Plus there is this big ugly L Chocobo house in the ward of my FC in Ishgard and there are lots of weeb houses around my personal in Limsa which don't fit into the area - reason enough to relocate into an instance >.>

But the island also shows that we can't directly teleport into an instance. You could place the aetherite right in front of it and then enter it through a door like the apartments - but what is with the garden?

Also what if people do give up their small ward houses to get a bigger instanced house? Would the wards die out? Do they have to get merged and people will lose their medium and large houses in the process?


I think wards and instanced houses can't co-exists. Instanced houses have to be crappy in order to keep the wards alive. Increasing the size of apartments a bit would be the easiest solution without having to rework the entire housing system. But of course people want a house for whatever reason while they never even tried to create a nice apartment - which is indeed possible.
