The Housing Situation: possible short-term solutions.

What about the players who already own more then 1 house? I remember reading that 1 server had two players who owned 4 wards, will they lose their homes or?

That's why I said possible short term solutions. I didn't imply any were perfect... perhaps just make them unable to move or buy more until they only have one left, or have them select one by logging into the character they want to keep the house on and refund them the price of the house they purchased. There's no clear solution to it. It's why I left it as possible suggestions rather than demands. It's not easy to switch. I personally don't see a need for wanting a house on more than one character. I'd be happy having one to share between all of mine.

As for those people... that's just flat out excessive and shouldn't really be allowed until the situation is resolved. That's just my opinion though. What could they possible need that many houses for?

Build a system that forces them to sell their houses until they only have one on the account, refunding the full sale price and putting all items into storage. Players cannot enter any houses on the account until there is only one house on the account, and refusal to sell will simply leave them at the mercy of the auto-demolition. Its a pain, but SE put themselves in this mess to begin with.

Housing, much like inventory, needs a bigger fix than "add more space" and needs an infrastructure overhaul if it is ever going to be praised by the community.
