SE never heavily promoted housing but they mentioned as one of hundreds/thousands options you can have with the game. People are those who heavily wanted this option what is fine but then chose your server. I mean, if you go to already overcrowded server what do you expect to happen with housing - oh yes i know, lets blame SE because people alone decided to go on already full server. Even when SE blocked opening of new accounts on overcrowded servers people used a payed transfer to bypass this limitation. Then some of those people have a face to come here on forum and blame SE because they cant buy a house, while (probably) the server from where they transferred still have empty plots. You desperately want a house - transfer. Right now there are still servers with empty plots. I hope SE will one day have enough of this useless complains and just (en)force the split on overcrowded servers.
