Well we'll see, but that slide was only talking about plot purchasing (which is by far the easiest thing for them to do, check at point of purchase if person is eligible or not).

Reasons I don't think they'll touch existing people:
  • Compensation - We already have inflation issues, do they really want to inject more money into the system? And how much for what? How do you compensate for time/effort? Plot price is easy (100%...), time/effort acquiring furniture not so much.
  • They'd have to build a system/way for players to select which house/fc house to keep or build in something to compensate people when they relinquish (which wouldn't necessarily work for FC as they'd just transfer ownership).
  • Public relations - Although I'm sure the players with multiple houses are in the minority, it still doesn't look good for SE if there's news about taking things away from players who worked hard on them and broke no rules (I'm especially thinking of those people on Mateus!)
  • Storage - How does a player with multiple houses even store all the items that they've acquired? Especially since they added in housing storage which itself is holding even more items. Players would be forced to discard items due to the binded nature of them.

It just seems to me one heck of a lot less work/effort to just leave it be and overtime they'll naturally come back into the system.
