And are you going to volunteer to move to this brand new server? Because they can't just tack another server on on the side and magically have more space on, say, Balmung...each server is its own self-contained world, so 'adding a new server' would only help if people were willing to move.

While I won't defend SE's obviously poor data storage techniques, most of the 'housing crisis' is because people all crowd onto a handful of servers and then complain about the problems this overcrowding causes. There were still plots available on Adamantoise a few months ago when I took a stroll around my ward...not many, and maybe not in the choicest locations, but they were there. People move for RP and raid and all sorts of things...if you're that desperate for a house, why not move for that?
