The temporary restriction is for buying personal houses. The server wide change is that you cannot purchase more than 1 personal and 1 FC house per account per server which will now always apply. I fail to see how allowing people to purchase personal houses on old wards makes the restrictions pointless since if they're buying personal houses they won't be able to flip them anyway with the random timed release.

There's a very clear workaround in there. Depending on server stability, I'd wager I could nab 4 or 5 medium/large houses if I were so inclined*. This is anecdotal, but I'm familiar with two different groups of people on Faerie that resell houses. I don't know them personally, and do not know what they plan to do (or if they care at all), but the potential for abuse is high.
how will 5 accounts hold 8 houses unless you grab houses NOW from resellers? I'm honestly curious how this would work.
