So I wanted to relocate my private estate to get a small on the mist beach (19-21), I had my alarm ready for 5am est and Gil in hand ready to Sprint to the house I wanted. Obviously I woke up at 7am est and thought I was far too late but I figured it wouldn't hurt to log on and try. To my surprise very little houses were taken up in mist in any of the plots so I grabbed plot 19 ward 18 with ease. There was probably 2 other private houses and 3 large/medium FC estates taken.
I'm on famfrit so it's lower pop then most, but I want to know other people's experience with 4.2 houses because it seemed way to good to be true for this to happen across all servers.
