Stake Your Claim with Housing Early Access and Come Home 3 December!

As long as they have enough dedicated, separate, servers to spin up housing instances, it should not be an issue. There were some iterations in beta that caused enormous lag on Founder’s Point (similar to garrison go-live, where “instance not found” or disconnects), but playing in Dornogal or Kharesh, whilst waiting for them to fix it, was fine.

Will they though? Hasn’t remix caused issues for retail?

We already have plots planned and addresses ready, RP and all. Now i only need some addon to play music from spotify in my house.

I am never ever gonna stay in city anymore, dornogal or anything else.

Cheers for the details. I’m not up-to-date with that side of things since I have my own guild which only my characters are a part of (and I haven’t looked into the finer details since I’m not able to have my own solo guild neighbourhood). :nerd_face:

meh, spent the whole day on beta today testing and collecting furnishings. Then spend 4 hrs decorating only to get a message “You have reached your limit for placing decorations”. Yep it seems we limited to placing only 200 furnishings on the exterior combined. That is a very small amount of items considering the size of the rooms. I really hope this number gets increased and NOT via in game shop.

This number will increase with personal endeavours.

The exterior remains 200. They’re being conservative to keep servers from melting. In a full neighbourhood, you have to keep in mind it’s 50x 200 decorations.

But the interior limit raises as you gain housing levels (basically the housing version of renown) which you get by collecting new stuff and by doing endevavours. Endeavours won’t start until Midnight launches though.

Afaik these two things do not share a decor limit.

Yea but that’s for the interior only which is currently set to 1000 at launch and will increase.

The exterior is capped at 200 only. That’s not enough to even complete a full garden wall and trees, gazebo, fountain, paving and plants etc. We have already been restricted from using outside lamps as apparently these crash the servers.

I dunno going to have to think about the exterior and make a plan but as is 200 is too little but apparently its a server load issue. Garrisons 2.0 coming in….

Of course one needs to comprehend that MMO housing exteriors (and interiors, too, of course) can never come anywhere near to The Sims level of customizability.

200 placable items will be sufficient to create a beautiful garden that is not too cluttered.
Like in FF14 20, 30 and 40 exteriors, depending on plot size, are sufficient.
Yes, more is always better, but it is far from impossible to create stunning gardens with these restricitons.

I do not believe exterior lighting will stay unavailable, they more likely will try to find a fix for them to not decrease server stability.

Sigh, do I have to control my gardening impulse - yea Ima sleep on it and work it out on paper tomorrow so I am ready for Wednesday. Will have to plan the layout carefully.

Dunno if I already asked this before in here but, can you invite players without Midnight edition to your house? To be more specific - F2P Starter Edition? As my F2P char (this one) is connected to my paid account and we share all the mounts and other stuff. If I make my house with my paid acc, can I gain access to my F2P? Not to touch anything, just to chill in it.
