I doubt it was because of people legitimately playing an alt. Remember what they say about squeaky wheels and oil? The hyperbole in these housing threads is indicative of our society now. Two people on Mateus own a ward through house hunting over the course of a year+ has turned into lots of people doing it. The sensationalism and sense of entitlement in these threads is hilarious.

I own a personal house on one character and I own a medium and small on another that is a completely different character. I had no interest in upgrading until I saw these dumb threads, now I am going to upgrade to larges for the character that owns two. Just to spite you snowflakes.
