I have mixed feelings about the one house per account. Obviously...its the friendlier way. Everyone has a better chance at a house than letting someone continually buy houses every update. The only downside I see to making it this way is the Balmung RP community venues may suffer from it, if forced to shut down. There are some AMAZING community venues that are loads of fun, even if you don't RP.

Understandably one house per account is the better route. It bothers me to see so many houses, possibly purchased by alts, that simply have a bare house sitting on it. Little or no yard decorations, and a massive empty space inside the house where it's clearly just being held and not used.
