Official Translation on housing information from Live Letter (1/19)
Additional plots will be added.
We’ll be adding 6 additional wards, along with their subdivisions, to each housing area (Mist, Goblet, Lavender Beds, Shirogane).
Plots will be added one week following the release of Patch 4.2.
Requirements for plot purchase
In order to allow free companies without housing to purchase a plot, we’ll be applying the following conditions.
Plots designated for free company use will be limited to purchases by free companies with at least four members.
You are required to have four members to form a free company, so we have set it so that housing purchases also require four or more members.
Individuals will be restricted from purchasing plots for personal use for a limited time. You’ll still be able to relocate. We’ll be observing the situation and remove this restriction later. When new plots are added in the future, we’ll apply the same measures.
Players will be permitted to own only one private and one free company estate per World per service account.
For example:
If you have two characters (character A and B) on one World, and A is enlisted in a free company which owns an estate, then B will not be able to purchase a free company estate.
Further details will be announced on a special site which will be released later.
Owning a room in an apartment won’t be considered as owning an estate, so you may purchase without any concerns.
Restrictions on Plot Resale
Plots relinquished by owners will be unavailable for purchase for a limited time.
The time when the plot becomes available is set at random, and will not be displayed anywhere.
Q&A
Q: Can you relocate if you already own several free company estates?
A: Relocating and purchasing are processed differently, so you are able to relocate.
Q: If you already own an estate, would I be restricted in purchasing one on a different World?
A: The restrictions are not by data centers, but per Worlds. Characters on other Worlds will be able to purchase an estate.
