People, please stop spreading the panic of 1536 apartments per server, that is not what they said. They said it's 512 apartments per building, and then at the live letter showed the big buildings that are in each housing ward. It's not some random building in the city, it's in an instanced ward and subward areas. Which means there will be 24 buildings per city, not just one building per city.

The buildings in question:

So, the 1536 number is not correct. The more correct number is over 36k, as they said they wanted everyone to be able to purchase an apartment.
