The new rules simply mean that any "alt" characters whom own a private property before patch 4.2 will be able to keep them and they will also be allowed to "relocate" freely to better plots if they manage to get them before anyone else!...

Starting from patch 4.2 "alt" characters will no longer be able to get a private property or a Free Company property if the "main" character already owns either if not both of them!...

I agree with the new impositions but how will they compensate the ones like me whom have alts with enough Gil to buy their own properties and were expecting to do so in the new patch!?...

SE will be pretty much violating every character's right to own their own house and they must do something to fix such arbitrariness, something that could make everyone happy is that they allow all characters under the same account in the same world to share the one house that can be owned!...
