In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

[LunarEmerald]

If they refuse to do instance housing then they really need to

At least double all available wards.
Separate FCs and personal housing.
Make it so you can only have 1 house per account and strip houses from people who own multiple ones.

I think if they at least tripled the number of wards across all housing areas it would put a reasonable dent in the supply problem on most servers...and if they added some over time afterwards that would also help. Balmung would probably be another story. They could also just keep adding subdivisions to our current wards. Not sure if there would be anything different about that though. Ideally, we should have a ward system that expands as soon as a number of plots are filled, adding another immediately. There would probably be a cap though, but it would realistically grow as the server does...which means they shouldn't reach the cap on most servers. That said, they really do need to crack down on how many houses people can have per server/account. Yes, people did what SE allowed them to, I get it. But there's not enough supply to meet the demand...and those who purchase like, 5+ plots are a bit of an issue now.
