that's the whole point you say they are different because they use different resources but that point isn't resources it's the fact they are taking something away that shouldn't be taken away.
NO. They are NOT the same thing. If I create enough accounts and go out and create 500 new characters on a single server there is absolutely nothing stopping me (assuming it's not a high population server etc). If I want to create 500 Free Companies with each of those characters there is nothing stopping me. If I want every single one of those free companies to have a house there damn well is something stopping me since there is a finite number of plots available.

You keep bringing up "resources" as an excuse people are using as to why these plots need to be cleared. We're not simply talking about server resources here, you have to take into account the "physical" resources of actual plots available. Sure Se could add in more wards and more plots but where does that end? When the current wards fill up they add on 5 more? And then 5 more after that? And then 5 more after that?

When you abandon a character for months at a time that character is not taking up "physical" resources. There is no effect on the greater game/community because your character is sitting idle in a server somewhere. However when a house is left idle there are repercussions and the more abandoned houses you have the more it adds up.
