4.2 Housing Update

[Brynne]

If it didn't it'd make it easy enough to cycle through and get a bunch of houses on one account (you'd just get friends to set up the fc and then transfer leadership once the house is bought)

It's still easy, because you can temporarily leave any other FCs and rejoin once the house is bought. My understanding is that the restrictions only apply to purchases, not joining FCs.

I'm hoping the restriction would be that the person who makes the actual purchase cannot be a member of another FC with a house on any other character, and not that if any member of the FC is a member of another FC with a house on any other character, the purchase cannot be made. Can you imagine the witch hunt within FCs for that? Would it tell you which member it was when you tried to purchase? What if it was someone who quit the game? Would you have to keep kicking random people until it lets you purchase? This would be a horrible design that's still easy to get around for anyone who wants to exploit it but potentially maddening for honest FCs who just happen to have one rogue member.
