Not an issue on the kugane housing in my server. Hell, the EW surge made it a lot more populated and cactuar has tons of weirdos doing parties or other events pretty consistently.

Yeah. Some people just will not stand anywhere near other players or the boss, especially if they're ranged.

I've never seen anyone in any housing ward talking to a neighbor over the fence in say while searching for a house. On excal at least. It's always a ghost town

As someone who's been trying to move to a bigger house since the lottery started, it sucks losing week after week, but it's still worlds better than the old system. While there's no distribution system that fixes a lack of supply, I actually have a chance at winning a lottery, even if it's a low chance. In the old system, I once pulled an all-nighter clicking the board, walked away for 5 minutes to get food, and the house was sold when I got back. The whole system was terrible and dominated by bots. I only got lucky with my current house during the resumption of demolitions after the last housing freeze, when a lot of plots opened up at once.

Since getting my house a few months ago, I have literally never seen a single soul besides myself in my ward. Granted it's ward 14 in ishgard so not some boppin' place like mist/kugane, but I figure I'd see one! I know people are there since I see minor changes to housing exteriors and furnishings, I just never see them in the flesh.

My personal house is in Shirogane (granted, ward 20) and the place is so dead that I was actually shocked to see a live player running past yesterday. They didn't stop to visit. I actually own apartment 1 in Mist 1, and while I don't use it all that often I still only see other people there maybe once a week or less. It's kinda sad tbh.

I'm in a Mist ward that got turned into FC housing and it's pretty lively.  I regularly see people from two of the immediately adjacent FCs hanging out at their houses all the time and like to chat with them when I'm marketboarding or whatever.Edit: Not to say that this influences my opinion vis a vis instanced housing/more available housing/etc. - the system sucks rear end, there's no two ways about it. Just that I have neighbors that I've met/hung out with.

I will continue beating this drum, but I think allowing personal housing at all in the wards was a mistake, but you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Neighborhoods should be FCs only. Everyone should get a personal instanced house that they can upgrade the size over Animal Crossing style. If wards were FC only, you'd need less wards and they would be more populated.

Yes, thank you, solutions exist! When people are like "actually housing is fine" I can only imagine they mean "I have a house, what's the issue?" There's just an indestructible social anchor where the company doesn't want to undo existing housing because the fan outrage will be deafening which yeah, OK, fine, I get it. But suggesting the housing situation is fine as is... nah.

There's just an indestructible social anchor where the company doesn't want to undo existing housing because the fan outrage will be deafening which yeah, OK, fine, I get it. I have a large personal house and I don't think personal houses should be in wards. Every ward is drat near dead because 90% of the houses in each ward are personal houses. Unfortunately, we can't undo what has been done. If I could go back and redesign the system, I'd keep the neighborhoods and housing lotteries for FCs. Then create a situation where everyone could buy a piece of empty land for personal instanced housing. Everyone gets the same size lot. Then you can pay more to expand it. You can pay more to put a small house on it. You can pay more to upgrade that house's size. Then everyone gets whatever size instanced how they want in whichever district theme they want. The housing system is hosed and the only real "fix" is more wards. As for wards being empty, there is no fix to that.

If I could rewrite history and make housing not garbage, they'd be FC only, larger estates than they are now, and the stables / workshop / ship control center would all be separate buildings on the grounds. And you'd be able to put more than 20 items outside. You can't even decorate a small house with the limit they give you.

Medium houses have an item limit of 300 items. For large houses, it is 400 items, but large houses are about 2.5x the floor space of a medium house.

My medium's feeling pretty barren at parts, and my FC's large basically has half the basement and main floor empty. You can't detail the entire house with that limit.

We both used the retainer bell in silence and went back to our houses. This was in an FC neighborhood too, you'd think that would mean more people than the individually-owned plots. I would absolutely love to be involved in community poo poo, but the northwest part of Mist 8 is a ghost town full of silly houses.

Every time I see someone in my housing ward, it's a little miracle. Maybe return of autodemolitions would change something, maybe it would help bring some active players. Although I know my neighbor exists and is active because they recently clearly copied exterior of my house. Dwesa fucked around with this message at 22:18 on Nov 9, 2022 |
