Lack of Housing - Still an Issue

[Fenral]

Logic.

To begin with, even if scalable instanced housing was never in their design spec, the current system should have been designed to create wards on-demand, with each new ward taken from a data-center specific quota (which could be increased over time). If there are worlds (not going to call them servers, because each is actually a server cluster linked to the other worlds) with empty or mostly unused housing wards, the resources being used to maintain those empty zones should go towards maintaining a new ward on a more populated world.

I think what they want is for housing to be a contributing factor to the evening-out of world populations, but it's not nearly enough of a motivator on its own. And who would even want to leave a world like Balmung or Gilgamesh (except to go to the other)?
