[Jonel]

i dunno what the fuck everyone's bitching about. i think it's a good addition.

[Mizango]

That Hume's gonna get some.

Moogle is going to cock block him!

God damn Moogles. Always cockblockin' me and my lady friends. =[

Female + Furrie fun maybe? Vana'diel is full of freaks, especially my beloved Bastok.

Oh lawd, I just spit up some water. D: Thanks.

LOL Sorry. I couldn't resist

While I have no fucking clue what SE expects someone else to do in my house besides the horribly obvious, my house looks awesome. Someone besides me is obligated to also see such awesome.

Meh..

It's an ok addition. I probly won't ever use it since I'm not into intarweb chicks but I suppose some people could. Personnaly I'd rather they add something fun to do for myself (and that's pretty much what all the other people are bitching aboot), but that'd be abit selfish.

I'm sure they'll add more interesting things anyway... the whole expansion can't revolve aboot 2 fruity jobs and a mog house enhancement.
I'm personnaly waiting to look what that campaign thingy will look like.

Something to.....!!!

VENTURE ROLL!

I WANNA GAMBLE AGAINST PEOPLE IN MY HOUSE!! >:D

[Demosthenes]

[edit] too much table breakage.

Seems neat, if unneccesary. But I can't help but wonder if they'll do something stupid, like restrict it only to your home nation's mog house or something.

The description makes it sound like that's exactly what they'll do.

It's pretty obvious considering you only see your furniture in your home city <_<

And technically, only your home city is your own "personal mog house," the others are just rent-a-rooms.

That's true only insofar as showing off furniture. You could always have reason to invite someone in just to chat (cyber) or whatnot, in Jeuno, Whitegate, or other starting nations other than your own.

bitches don't know about my mog house?

I hate to be a standard debbie downer here but let's see what we've heard so far of the expansion:

1. Garrison +1 (Campaign)
2. 2 squirrely jobs
3. Cyber house

There needs to be some ground-breaking stuff released at the NA fan fest. The premise behind this expansion has so much potential and I just hope it realizes that potential.

Baby, stop by my mog house and I will show you the expansion's full potential.

But really, some people decorate their mog houses and would like to show them off to others. (At least I decorate my mog houses and would like to show them off to others.)

[threnody]

I like the mog house thing because I'm a little insane about decorating. Now I can actually show my friends my houses.

and.. i have never found einherjar fun. =/

Finally, I can let in other people to appreciate my obsessive decorating skills! Sadly, I am thrilled in an utterly non-sarcastic manner by this addition.

[LD]

I think the thing a lot of people have against it is 'Then what?' portion of it. I mean, the people who put the time, money, and effort into actually making their house look nice have thus far only done it for themselves. Other people will only care so much about how someone else's house looks, so there has to be some kind of hook, or this will go the way of the Marble Bridge and the Kokba hostel.

Now, SE COULD add something that allows you to trigger games within the house or maybe even allow a guest access to their own storage, so it wouldn't be a complete loss. However, odds are it's going to be pretty bare bones to begin with.

Psst, Septimus, I don't think Pacha is a galka.

Edit: o.O I missed the sig. Oh, crap, he is. Oh god, WHY DO YOU LIKE GALKA?! *cries*

[Mizango]

Exactly! Yet another stunning victory for Rocl.

[yrpaine]

PILLOW FIGHT!! (if only)

[Lyramion]

Seriously some poeple put in lots of love and effort into their moghouse. I remember way back then when a JP friend used a Dama Cloth to get a Royal Bed crafted just for her own viewing pleasure.

Sure your cookie cutter taru stool crafter wont get much out of this update but for quite some people this will be a nice addition.

However, it has now been five years since FINAL FANTASY XI service began, and the three nations of San d'Oria, Bastok, and Windurst have seen a dramatic decentralization of their populations to other urban centers. This, combined with the server hardware upgrade planned to coincide with the release of the Wings of the Goddess expansion, has brought about a marked increase in our servers' capacities. This allowed for a rethinking of Mog House functionality, and resulted in this new feature.

I like the bolded part the most, and I hope they up the client bandwidth cap too so we get less lag in the new zones :D

That isn't going to happen unless they rewrite a large portion of the network code. The bandwidth cap at the moment isn't intentional, it's just how the protocol works. The game fires off messages every half second (as does the server) instead of sending messages as they are generated. (Completely unrelated note: The lag in whitegate isn't due to latency issues. It's just more often than not your packet, or the server's packet, get's dropped on the way to it's destination, and so the contents of said packet must be re-sent at the next interval. A few dropped packets in a row creates the illusion of the horrible whitegate lag you're experiencing.)

Gonna start a Cyber-Condom business on WotG release to get rich and pay for my relic.

Because they are tall and musclely and cuddly and would be very warm to snuggle next to in the cold winter months.

I scrolled on through the OP a bit fast and thought his sig was part of the post. I was intrested for a second there.
