In Regard to Housing in Patch 4.1

[Abelfei]

If you would be so kind as to quantify your response with some hard data, I'd sincerely appreciate it. Specifically, I need an accurate count of daily active players, a list of some "other games" that can "do that fine", and an understanding of how fully instanced housing can populate for people who don't own said house, yet still have the permission to use it, when the owner is not online. Thanks in advance!

FFXIV census as of September shows about 10-25 k of active players per server. They have a website.
