Realty-Lottery system
What is it?
In place of camping houses/relying on luck of the draw (particularly on large servers such as Balmung and Mateus), the Realty Lottery system allows for players to go to an interface and input their housing preferences, such as size, grade-range, and housing area (Mist, Lavender Beds, etc.) to have a house drawn up when it is available and they are chosen for them to buy.
How does it work?
Players will go into the housing menu and select the system, then they will check off:
Preferred locations
Housing size
Grade range (allowing them to select a max grade and a minimum grade, so they can set their budget and minimum expected grade)
Dream Home System
Players can also select certain dream homes. For instance, if you want the Lavender Bed 29 small, you can choose it as a “Dream home” (though also set it as optional, but ideal if it does become available) This system is intended for those who may have specific houses in mind and would rather not do a blanket search of “Small, Grade 3 through 1 Lavender Beds houses.” If you want to try to catch a house next to a friend, or only one maybe two of the LB smalls, a certain goblet medium, or one specific Mist small and those are uncompromising selections, it will specifically enter you in for those if they become available.
What Happens Next?
When they select all of their preferences, the players will pay the max price out of their preferences to put their request in, and when it becomes available they will be notified in-game and via email when the RNG gods favor them. If, for instance, their grade-range was Grade 3-1, and the house they received (and accepted) was a grade 2, the remaining gil from them paying for a grade 1 will be refunded.
Before it goes through, they are given the opportunity to view the house before accepting or rejecting it if it does not meet their standards. They are given up to a certain amount (perhaps 3 days?) to accept the house. If they do not, it goes back onto market.
