"A grandfather clause (or grandfather policy) is a provision in which an old rule continues to apply to some existing situations while a new rule will apply to all future cases. Those exempt from the new rule are said to have grandfather rights or acquired rights, or to have been grandfathered in."

Bascily in this case as it stands right now as long as you get a alt to 50 and gc. level to 2 leiu and you have the gil alts can by a house to making it so you can have multi houses and your not breaking any rules. people wanna change that rule to the most common 1 fc 1 personal house per account. the grandfather rule would not take houses away from people who didn't break any rules getting there houses now. but making it so in the furture no one can buy more then 1 personal or fc per account. Others wanna strip the houses from people who broke no rules in getting there houses . As i've stated many times changing the rule is fine with me but taking away from people who broke no rules is wrong. Grandfather them in

If the objective is to free up houses because we have such a severe shortage that we need rationing (and we will probably continue to have said shortage until housing capacity quadruples), how is grandfathering people into the new system addressing the housing shortage?

Im sorry i missed that live letter or post from Yoshida P. saying that the "Objective is to free up houses"

Could you please post where ya got that from??? Im intested in reading the whole thing..Cause all i've seen if him say they didn't add enough plots and there loooking for feedback on how to add n sell them

I did see him say "While a great number of you were interested in either purchasing or relocating to a plot in Shirogane, we failed to prepare sufficient plots for players".

He also said "We’ve also received considerable feedback as to how they should be added, and we will be making an announcement outlining the number of new wards and how they will be sold after reviewing said feedback"

Hes asking for feedback on how they should be added and sold that seems to me to be the "Objective" as you put it.... so im not sure where freeing up plots comes in at all he never once mentions exciting plots or plot owners.

So to me hes looking for things like this...

50 wards are gonna be released in each city

For the first hour ..
1-Wards 1-10 FC's with out a house only
2-Wards 11-20 FC transfer only
3-Wards 21-30 Players with out a house
4-Wards 31-40 Players tranfering
5-Wards 41-50 free for all
After the first hour all wards become free for all

Keep in mind that thats each city so thats 12,000 plots (2,400 in each of the 5 restrctions)

As we seen 720 plots can sell out in 5-15 mins even on lower pop servers.so they need to release these wards during each servers peek hours.It isnt hard for them to see when the most people are on each server not a guess but honestly look at the latest loggin info for the past two weeks
