Housing needs to be account based

[TomsYoungerBro]

I don't agree with an account not being allowed multiple houses. If you have alts on other servers, they should be allowed to a house just like any other account. I think what they need to do is allow alts to be able to share a house on the same server. Since we can't add alts to our friends list, we can't make them tenants. They should fix this by allowing any alt character on that server to have access to the house automatically.

I agree with Stormpeaks on this one. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Thank you, I really wish people like that at least got informed a little bit on the subject before they talk nonsense.

I am aware of the logistics involved with becoming a "multi owner." I am aware of the financial investment and the fact that the person doing so has to bid on each plot they obtain. I am also aware of the fact that this is only possible during certain windows of time when plots are first released and then over longer periods of time when they appear. The former is an opportunity that very few players will have access to, especially not new players, and the latter is still one person who already has their plot taking the opportunity to win plots from the thousands of players who would love to own just one. Anyone with access to these resources and these opportunities could be a multi owner, it's not representative of hard work. If you really believe that anyone with that opportunity would just wave it off because they didn't feel like doing the work you're out of your mind.

There is like 6+ mediums open here on Lamia at least there was last night. And there is a truck load of smalls open enough I have not bothered to even count them.

You act as though Dynamis is going to be a ghost town forever. People will eventually populate the server, and the problem will perpetuate because the houses they as individuals could have bid on are now instead being overtaken by shell FCs created by entitled cringelords. You can't pretend that this isn't the end result of your mentality.

This kind of behavior isn't exactly against the rule nowaday.

They make account for this, they have to create a Lvl 6 FC with at least 30 days old. And they have to make the money to get a house. But even before all those restriction, that mean Millions and Millions of gils to reach something like this.

Is it against the rule ? No. Cause now, player who try to do the same will have to pay One account for at least 2 house. So for 30 house, you have to pay 15 accounts. Which will easily go over 100$ (I'm sorry, I'm not in the US, so I don't know how much it is for you, but in € it will be something like 150€ per month, just to keep up all those house.)

Is it morally correct to do that ? Probably not. Because you are bound to make a whole bunch of player angry.

It's a matter of fact that once you have your "Third" house, you may have an advantage on the crops you try grow against other player who own house from "regular" mean

To put it simply, let's admit that you have 2 Large House (One of your FC, and one on your own). You have 6 farms which contains 8 plots each, for a total of 48 crops. (Counting like this : 8 for Small house, 16 for Medium and 24 for Large).

Now let's take the "worst" case, a player who own every 30 house of a sector, this means, that player will have something like : 20 Small, 6 Medium, 3 Large. For a total of 41 farm, which goes up to 328 Crops available.

A player like that can produce 280 Crops more than you will do everyday (Let's assume you make the same crops).

In your eyes, and pretty much the rest of the community, this will be unfair. But the player who bought all those house will say "I did a whole bunch of effort to get there", and won't see that as a problem.

Again, those guys didn't cheat (Or at least, we have to prove it, so Innocent until proven Guilty). That's sad, but that's how it is. And unless Square Enix is really going to track all of those player down and compensate for their loss, nothing will change. (I'm pretty sure they won't do it anyway.)

I'm looking back at when SE added other new worlds in the past. They don't become populated overnight. By the time they do become populated, SE may have added new wards to all worlds.

Or maybe SE will break down and finally give us the instanced housing system we need (and which is not the one we already have - apartments). If that happens, it won't matter how many houses a player owns because all other players will be able to do the same if they choose while no one is blocked from getting a house.

It's not my mentality creating the problem. It's SE's poor housing design that has.

Detach workshops and gardens from housing and you've removed 80% of the reason to be a multi-house owner. Use a proper instanced housing system instead of the static ward mess and you've removed another 15% (profit through reselling disappears, avoiding Paissa houses and other eyesores erected by neighbors is easily accomplished). There will still be those that want multiple because they love to decorate and redecorate but that would no longer impact the ability of others to get a house.

What are you talking about lol? Omega server was added in 2017 and it has 800+ houses available, in line with the oldest EU servers. Spriggan was added in 2019 and it has 1300+ houses. Phantom, added in 2022, has 3800+ houses. That means it takes roughly 6 years for a server to be as populated as the other servers in the same region.

If you want an NA example, your server Maduin was added in 2022 and it has 3600+ plots available, similar to Phantom. It's going to take multiple years before the population will rival that of the oldest NA servers, especially now that people are moving away from Dynamis. Moreover, Dynamis has another 4 new servers planned.

You want those empty plots to sit unused for 3 expansions? Come on.
