Sharing Estates With Alt Characters

[Khryseis_Astra]

Honestly they should really revamp housing altogether… and I’m not even talking about my usual instanced campaign, even though I’m still a strong advocate of adding that alongside the wards.

Something I think that should be an easy ask (though I’m sure someone will let me know if I’m wrong! lol) is this: make personal housing mostly the same as FC housing. (Let’s leave aside the argument of whether or not personals should have workshops or not for now. I don’t really care either way.) But what I’m talking about first of all, is the ability to add extra apartment-sized rooms. Now alongside of that, every character on your account is automatically added as a tenant to any estate you own, as long as they’re on the same world. I think the max number is 8 characters per account at the moment? So they can all share the estate and have individual rooms, and you can set permissions so they can all interact with the property. After that, you can still have the same 2 friend tenant slots you already get in a personal, and manage their settings as well. So we’re talking about 10 rooms being able to be added to a personal estate. Then add a storage chest like the FC chest to personal estates, so all characters can trade items and gil through that; seems the easiest way to get around the trading issue. And finally, estate permissions in general. I was hopeful when I saw how Island Sanctuary managed who could visit your island, that we would get similar controls with housing. But you should be able to have toggles to either make it closed, or allow friends, FC members, party members or be totally open to all. Along with that, anyone you blacklist should automatically be unable to enter your house. I think just doing this would go a long way in making the game more alt friendly. They’d still have to fix the lack of housing supply though!

Would love if SE would consider also making more things account wide. So many other mmo's make a lot of stuff account wide, and I'm just not sure why this game is set up to almost punish you when you have to pay for more character slots (well actually not sure if that is still a thing, but I know when I first started playing there was a price difference)

I also likes to see it happen, but it has two issues.
First, in order for tenant system to work, target need to be on your friend list and you can't invite your own alt as friend.
This is the way since FF14 foundation on one character for all jobs; there isn't really need to create an alt character.
Second, whole tenant system is for you to share with others, not your alt
This is for the purpose of reduce stress on housing plot demand.
This is a wishful thinking but realistically will not happen

Am all for sharing housing with all alts you got on same account, and then you could do the removal of grandfathering as well making it max 1 house and 1 FC per DC per account.
