More FFXIV Free Company Housing Lottery System Details Offered

Square Enix offered more insight into how the #FFXIV lottery system will affect free company housing

Square Enix talked more about the FFXIV housing lottery system the end of March 2022, and now it offered more details about what this means for free company housing. Most of the details involve exactly who can and can’t enter the lottery for a plot and what happens when multiple people enter. However, Square Enix also noted how it will handle free companies dealing with world regrouping who want to enter the lottery, but wouldn’t normally due to the new entry requirements.

Many of the initial questions dealt with additional information about the lottery system requirements. People must be a member of the free company for 30 days or more to participate, even if they a free company master. Also, if people add a fourth member now, they group can participate, but the fourth member can’t yet. People can only apply to either get a free company plot or a private one for themselves, as they can’t place bids for personal and group land during the same lottery. They must choose.

Square Enix also confirmed that multiple FFXIV free company members can apply for the one or multiple housing plots. However, this does mean people will need to make a choice if one member wins. If everyone applied for the same plot, then the people who didn’t get it will get a 100% refund and there’s no decision to make. If multiple people win multiple plots, you must pick one. The person whose plot wasn’t picked will incur a 50% cancellation fee.

Finally, Square Enix said free companies that experienced relocation can apply to still take part in the first housing lottery when 6.1 arrives. This is because otherwise, they wouldn’t meet the 30 day requirement. It noted the group’s free company master will need to submit a request at the support desk. Square Enix will then look at server logs of people who changed their free company Home World, make sure it isn’t a land resale situation, and then determine if an exemption will be allowed. People will need to contact the company before 6.1 maintenance begins in April 2022, however.

Final Fantasy XIV is available for the PS4, PS5, and PC. Patch 6.1 will add Ishgard Empyreum housing to FFXIV.
