Apart of me hopes for this, too, just to avoid the server congestion.

That would be awesome if they could do it. Less server congestion.
Would have been really awesome is if they could have opened up say all the 13 wards at one time, then later all the 14 wards, so on and so forth over the course of the day or a couple of days until all six wards were open.
I doubt they could do this though.
This is kind of cruel to say to someone at this point, especially since people should be done relocating by now. Personal home owners have still been able to relocate this whole time. And any RNG timers that would make relocation better than purchasing have worn off (unless someone is just barely relocating, or it's a new demolition).
Plots still seem to be selling slowly in the shiro ward my fc is now in from a glance.
Wouldn't be surprised if now that it's really just smalls, some people are just dawdling and letting the plot prices fall, so there might be a small rush when personal housing opens up.
Might also have some people saving for upgrades on servers that have mediums and larges left.
The relocation begun on Lich on Tuesday. It has been 4 days here.
What I simply do not understand is why they are still withholding individual purchases in the original 3 housing locations. I mean sure Shirogane is popular, but the area in the Goblet ward my FC's house is in is Completely emptied. There is us and one large plot occupied by a french guild and absolutely everyone else has left, probably for shirogane.
They want to make housing more accessible to all players, but I am standing in a ward absolutely full of orange squares. I even worked hard at Alchemy to save up enough gil to get a small plot. Now I'm surrounded by plots that no FC wants but cannot buy them because of this absurd restriction.
Make Goblet, LB and Mists available for individual purchases. If they must, restrict it to at least small plots, if not medium as well. Leaving tons of empty small plots is not making housing more accessible to anyone.
