    @ Nekodar - Who cares how they do it, as long as they do something? This isn't a problem we should have to solve for them.

    The housing shortage has been going on far too long. I'm sure I'm not the only person feeling angry about the fact that the Free-log-in Campaign looks likely to sabotage the one tiny measure they have taken to alleviate it so far.

    try not to be so pessimistic. most inactives will not come back if they lost interest in the game. many others may not even be made aware of the free log in. even if some plots get salvaged by their current owners for another 45 days, it is very unlikely each and every possible inactive home owner will log in just to screw you out of a house

    Well I am sure nobody is going to come back just so they can maliciously deny other people something they themselves have lost interest in.

    I still think this is going to have an effect on the reclamation though, and that will have a knock-on-effect for people wanting to buy houses.

    there will never be an end all solution for housing. always there will be new players, more alts, new fcs increasing demand. eventually they are going to run out of resources to supply the demand. the only thing you can truly do is be patient. i got mine a while ago because i caught an empty plot from a recent server transfer. i wouldnt waste my energy though throwing negative emotion into something like this. if you care for it so much its worth getting angry over, could always convert that energy into motivation to farm enough to buy off someone who currently owns. theres always plots for sale, just got to ask how much is it worth to you

    Pretty much this. You just have to be a motivated buyer. I recently sold my lot to such a person. I don't think hes even come back since the first day. Well maybe I've seen him around once since then. If you really need a house as an FC, it shouldn't be that hard to get enough togeather to get one.
