Potential Housing Crisis Fix (Includes ability for permanent Housing (Sm, Med, Lrg)

[s32ialx]

as of my last check 2 larges and 1 medium available on Behemoth.

Large 1 Bids: 121
Large 2 Bids: 199
Medium Bids: 74

Thats 394 bids for 3 plots this is ridiculous, you can't tell or expect us to have to move just to get a house it's not fair I pay my subscription like anyone else, I have been playing XIV since around 6/21/13 as that is the oldest email I have left in my old inboxes that are still enabled. it's 2025 Housing plots should not have a shortage. XIV devs get anywhere from APROX $120 million USD to $200 Million USD a year for developing and keeping the game updated. It's time some of that budget went to actually rewriting core code like housing.

And another lost bid cycle.

That's really unfortunate


Have you considered creating or moving an alt to Dynamis to get a plot there? If you go to one of the newest worlds like Golem, Kraken and such, there are medium plots you can grab and I think there may be a few mansion plots too. It took my main 7 years to get her plot in Exodus but I had sent my main alt to Seraph when it first went live over two and a half years ago now to get a zero bid mansion. This made my wait for my main (won a year and a half after alt in Seraph) far more bearable as I was able to enjoy housing to the fullest on my alt and I always invited friends over even from Exodus. I know your frustration and hope you win a plot for your main soon but please consider having an alt utilize the plentiful housing in Dynamis in the meantime. SE needs to allow us to have access to all of our plot regardless of the world they are in since they are all linked to our account.

If they gave you perma housing people like me would drop subs in these 3 month down times and square would have to work for the subs ;P

YES THIS, it should not be, that we are forced to pay just to have a house so square gets it easy because of FoMo, they should have to work for my subscription, the current setup where people only stay subbed to keep their house is toxic and it breeds people like Solowing who like to pretend they are not gate keepers supporting a toxic system.

I know it's frustrating but this is all you can do for now and it worked for me, that is all.
