Houses Districts always empty.. Lol

[Hadjar]

That no ppl there at all.. like why everyone wants a house so bad ? nobody is there its not like central cities that are full of ppl, island sanctuary is gonna be better for ppl cuz is gonna be free and plus u can cultivate there

[Unn4m3d (♥AUT♥)]

It's about having it and being able to decorate it, less about standing around there.

[Omnipotencia]

if they want people standing around houses theyd remove the marketboards from the cities which wouldnt be to bad to be honest if all the marketboards were in housing zones only, but lets hope that island paradise is gonna be good cause that might be a housing replacement in itself

It's nice to have a private meeting space for free-company events and whatnot but as far as a strictly personal 'living space', beyond the gardening and chocobo 'stuff' (if you care about that kind of thing) it seems like kind of a waste of time and resources to me.

I had an apartment briefly just to get a look at the housing system and eventually just let it go since nobody (including myself) had any compelling reason to be there. I suppose some people just enjoy decorating it for its own sake though and there's not much else to blow large sums of end-game cash on beyond otherwise useless frippery anyway so more power to'em. *shrug*

And where did you get that infoormation?

[Stormy Dawn]

It depends on the person, the Free Company and even the server. It's not really fair to lump everyone together assuming they approach housing the same way.

Some people go crazy with decorating their house inside and out and are getting their money's worth, as it were. Plus you see a lot of house parties and events with a lot of the RP FCs you find on Crystal and even the other data centers to a lesser degree.

Yes, a lot of people and FCs tend to leave their houses virtually abandoned, but it's not really the fault of the system, just the lack of care and imagination of the player base.

It's honestly why I feel they should be a lot stricter with how they handle housing demolition. The timing should be much stricter - like say only about a week, maybe two - and also should have some kind of system enabled where if a person hasn't even bothered to buy say a Mini-Aetheryte down in their yard (or some other nearly ubiquitous furnishing option) in an allotted time they should lose their house. There are too many players who own a house only for the sake of owning it, but care nothing for their plot. It's a huge pet peeve of mine.

I chill in mine when I login for my daily roulettes. Great way to get away from the main towns.

I'm always in front of my house camping the market board

Probably doing their duties. I situate myself at my home and come back to flip retainers and queue up the next one.

You're clearly not around when a club is open and people are standing in line for blocks. But you are not wrong - The housing districts were never intended to be social hubs in the same way as the actual capital cities. The real social stuff happens INSIDE of houses.

You've got free company houses, you've got themed shops, you've got themed social buildings (cafés, clubs, restaurants etc...)

Yeah... no.

[Grave Knight]

I mean do you just stand outside in the streets of your house? Or are you inside like a normal person most the time?

I have an apartment, I like to go there from time to time but the game offers no compelling mechanics for me be there, if It could at least have the same functions as an Inn, at least I would go there every time I could instead of an Inn.
