So if all the small houses were bought within minitues of the servers going live...

I don't think you are considering the amount of houses bought vs the amount of players who still don't own a house. Only 38 players per housing area were able to buy a small house, that is 114 players per server, it doesn't mean the other hundred/thousand of players left out are able to afford them. This is why even if they double the amount of land in 2.4 they will not have enough land for everbody, unless they find a better way to manage their resources and add maybe add 4x or 5x the current amount.

OR they should stop treating all servers equally and accept that different servers will have different needs, a dead server definitely wont need 3x+ the current amount, but a legacy server does.

System doesn't support this, but they're trying to get this in for 2.4.

Should they have not released personal housing at all till 2.4, or should they have released what they could right now, and release a ton more for 2.4 when they've upgraded the housing system?

The first would have been better, yes people would have been angry with personal housing being delayed yet again, but this whole situation could have been avoided.

Or the community could not freak the f*@! out about the limited release right now since more is coming within a month when they've upgraded their tech.

Besides, think of this more like a trial run so they can work out any issues that crop up with the few test subjects that get in now. Then they can try to iron out any problems before they release a much larger number of zones.
