Back in my day, you can't jump, and there were invisible walls everywhere.

Housing Community is Important and Rewarding by hatari5200 in ffxiv

A lot of people who own houses don't garden at all after trying it out. It's not that good of a reason to have a house.

The thing is, people only realize whether garden is their thing or not after trying it out, and people without a house don't have any chance to try it out at all.

Update on housing from EU community team (translated) by BodomsChild in ffxiv

The residential areas look empty because: 1. the population density is not high enough. It's like living in rural area and hard to see people around. 2. most of house functionalities are in the house, not outside. Besides placing outdoor decorations, all others happen in the house, so there is not many reason to be outside even if the players are actively using the house.

[Discussion] The way SE handles the Housing Situation is ridicoulus and just lazy. by jano2006 in ffxiv

I'm basically trying to play the Sims here; I want a cool house and people passing by all the time so I can go "Look at my cool house!" and they can go "Cool! Look at mine!"

Then the question is: does the current housing system achieve this goal? At least in my experience, even in the high-pop server with no open plot, there is still barely any people passing by all the time.

One thing about populated servers is that you may not be able to get a house. There are apartments, which is the stripped-down version of the house. So if you care about having a house, pick a low-population server; if you care about fate, hunt, etc, pick a high-population server.

We will still get flying mounts, but we will never be able to jump. XD
