    The greedy people are the "Free Riders"who took a free transfer to low pop servers and are complain hey look that person owns more then one house and i cant get one now that 2,000 people took a free ride in, they all could of had houses if they paid to move before the free transfered like i did.
    I won't deny you broke no rules, but you have taken advantage of the developer's terrible lack of foresight. From a pure business perspective, it is far more beneficial they take this on the chin, acknowledge the mistake and accept it may piss of players such as yourself compared to the alternative where a significantly larger portion of the playerbase gets nothing.

    And let's not kid ourselves. You are no less greedy than players who transferred to smaller worlds after they made it free. That isn't inherently wrong on your part anymore than someone wanting both a FC and personal house. It just highlights how flawed the whole neighbourhood concept really is. Very few seem to give a hoot about neighbours and just want houses.

    im not even gonna address the other parts..but by your way of thinking anyone who is in a FC that has a house shouldn't get a personal house.. The FC house isn't the leaders house its everyones the only diffence is the leaders can change ranks and permissions.. So if a fc leaders allows every member the right to deco and garden then they don't need a house right lol

    I never said that nor did I say they shouldn't. I equated owning multiple plots to being greedy-- to which I and many others are guilty of. That doesn't make it inherently wrong, but you made a point to claim people relocating servers because it was free was somehow more greedy than you wanting three houses.

    You misinterpreted what I meant. This was strictly a greed reference. I, personally, don't have any issues with people owning both a FC and a personal. It was more so towards people who use dummy FCs to get multiple houses on one character. Perhaps I could have phrased it a bit better.

    I have a personal house and I am fc master to a fc that has a house. Please do not compare me to players who have several houses across many characters and servers.

    I treat my personal house very differently to the fc house. They don't even look remotely the same, and it's not because they're not in the same district. I do what I like with my personal house, but the fc house is furnished to benefit and provide enjoyment for the fc. We take suggestions from members if they express a desire to see certain kinds of furnishings, or want to do certain things like climb garden furniture. We worked hard to furnish it to look like a social place and not some expression of singular vanity. We even asked members for their opinion and had a vote about the location when the relocation feature was announced. In my fc the house doesn't belong to the master. The master and officers merely look after it.

    I realise not all fcs are like mine, but that isn't enough reason to compare players like me to those who have several houses on many characters. I'm using my personal house for its intended purpose, the fc is using the fc house for its intended purpose. Players who have more than just one personal house and are master of one or more fc houses on the same server are certainly not.

    I have alts but I have zero intention of purchasing a plot for them because I frankly feel it would be wasted on a character I don't main. I am even stopping myself from buying apartments for them because I feel crappy at the thought of depriving someone else of an apartment even though there are plenty to spare right now.
