Current Housing issues - The Lack of Actual Housing

[Foofy]

Hello!

I am posting this as I am hoping someone from SE may be able to at least see the problem currently affecting large servers.

Housing

I shouldn't have to transfer servers in hopes of getting a house for my Free Company. Let alone the effort and timeframe to level it up again and waiting the 30 days to have a chance at housing.

The demo has been off for some time and only 1 - 2 houses have been up for lotto these past several months on my server itself. Several FCs and Personals are fighting for these houses. Only reason why they are up are people leaving the server or freeing them up because they don't want them anymore.

When when the Demo be turned back on?
When are new wards coming?

I have a personal. I would LOVE to be able to turn it in to an FC for my group but there is no option to. I could release it and hope that I win it back in a lotto but that is obviously not a chance I want to take.

But, if you give the option to turn a personal in to an FC RMT will run wild!

THEY STILL DO! People are still buying and selling FCs with houses and subs attached. There is a discord for it. People are charging nearly 5x the amount for the plot and people are willing to pay because of how bad it is just so they can give their Free Company a home.

Do I support turning an FC House in to a personal? No, I think the coding wouldn't work well and it could be used to force people out if there was just a disagreement. So I believe it should only be one way.

Either way, we need more housing wards, demo turned back on, or something because this is getting a bit out of hand. I will also add that wards that are supposed to be FREE COMPANY only have houses that will pop up available to personal buyers as well. Is this a bug or a glitch? Is it intended?

I now will disappear in to the void.

Housing mains are already on their way here to tell you that the scarcity is actually a good thing because it makes housing more valuable, or something.

I am wholly in support of adding more (or instanced) housing. I was on Seraph when it was still new and still had to fight others to get a house. A small. In the Goblet.

Having to abandon FCs just to have a chance to participate in this system is unacceptable.

Really? There were many empty plots especially in Goblet and Empyreum for well over a year on Seraph and wasn't until late EW that Seraph was becoming competitive for housing.

The problem is that even they add more plots, they're just be taken by phantom FC that are there for submarines farm. As long as SE doesn't deal with that, it's dead.

There are multiple Goblet Smalls on Seraph with 0 bids right now.

It's clearly because the phantom fcs think Seraph has cooties. Those nasty sub farmers won't touch them!

Stupid cooties, I should have known they were behind this.

Yeah, those are the same people that say an HOA is good for the value of a home. HOAs and buying up all of the homes are both underhanded and slimy.

I own a house and I could care less about the houses value. I will say this though, I have a house and wish I never bought one. They don't provide any value after the house is decorated, the only reason I don't get rid of it is because I've spent 50 million to purchase and decorate it.

Just waiting for the "There ____ crappy little cottages in the goblet on ____ dead world on Dynamis! SoUnDs LiKe A yOu PrObLeM! Go SeRvEr TrAnSfEr! Don't mind me and my 40+ houses! Hurr-durr" Crowd to come in.

The housing system is absolute garbage. We needed instanced housing years ago, but they'll lose all the subscriptions housing holds hostage, so positive changes are unlikely to say the least. Assuming they even care to read feedback anymore.
