What is coming in 2.38?

I wouldn't doubt it, if they take the ward route they have to ensure all lands will not be taken in one day by people with alts, plus they would want to limit how many people can get houses for a while, they don't have unlimited resources.

Hoping it will be 1 personal house per account, not per character.

I'm at work when the servers come back up so I seriously hope personal housing isn't limited like FC housing is.

Why? I'm pretty sure it will not be like that as that would make no sense whatsover. What would you do for characters on different servers? And even if you have alts on the same server you still need to level them up to 50 and have high GC rank as well - that takes a couple days at least for each alt. SE will not limit / cripple the alts like this.

What is coming in 2.38? Disappointment perhaps, I hope not.

It was only a couple of patches in a row where they decided to release notes a week early; I bet they went back to not releasing information at all in advance because of economic implications.

Advance knowledge doesn't really change things much because post-patch it just becomes a race to login first and buyout the market. If anything, it only screws over people with sleep schedules.

At any rate, a personal housing preview should have been in order, even if details on how to obtain one were held back. I've been trying to plan for this for months and with no solid info to go on, I may have been wasting my time. That's what I think many find unacceptable.

I just hope owning a house is just for vanity, not something crucial, because I won't be able to own one for some time since I'm always broke.

My suggestion would be stop wasting your time then......heck I did not even plan for months for my first real life house purchase.

Allowing multiple houses later on? Maybe. At the launch? It would be the dumbest move ever short of Hunts on SE's part.

SE seems to have zero clue how to judge demand and plan accordingly. They'll likely have 1/10th the number of plots available that are actually needed for all players who want (and can afford) to get one.

I'm still expecting a clustermoogle of epic proportions, and a near bloodbath in the zerg for plots.... or pricing thats so out of whack that the forums actually ignite from the flame posts that go up.

Time will tell I guess, and I'd love for SE to prove me wrong, but their track record to date hasnt been very good.

They seriously need to hit a home run on this after the nightmare that the Hunt rollout was.

Only huge, full number patches (2.2, 2.3, etc) get their patch notes released early. Smaller stuff like this is always after the fact.

That makes no sense at all.
