    Just checked, and those "temporary" measurements limiting you to one fc house per account are still in effect. So dont claim that at this point you are anything close to having aquired them 'legaly' Oliver
    If you aquired them after these measurements where in effect you just exploited a loophole.

    There's literally no loophole involved in acquiring 8 FC houses on the same server at the moment. No need to transfer FC leadership to a service account with no FC house tied to it. You just get a rank 6 FC, 4 people (yourself) and you buy a plot. The error message that was present during the two weeks moratorium after the release of patch 4.2 to inform you that you were not illegible to purchase more FC houses isn't there anymore. Still can't purchase more than 1 personal house per account at the moment though, you still get the error message and I hope it stays that way.

    Most people already think I've been bypassing the rules to acquire this ward and literally the only thing I've been doing is tell them that I am playing by the rules. I have 0 reasons to lie about what rules are being enforced. If you think you know better, why don't you go to a dead server with 5 characters, level up two FCs and purchase two houses.

    I can see a few reasons you could be lieing about this:. not saying you are
    You could be lieing to make yourself sound more important, to escape prosecution by SE for breaking\circumventing the rules.

    You claim that those temp measures are no longer in place. yet the website clearly mentions they still are. If there is no error message anymore its a bug and not a removal of that measure, and exploitation of a bug is still against terms.

    And if there where houses free i would test it. On the other hand why would i need a 6th house? Dont find the time to fully decorate what i have now, with only 3 decorated.
    And for the people objecting to me having 5, only 1 was grandfathered in the others are perfectly within term

    If I was doing anything shady regarding the houses, I wouldn't even be typing here in the first place. Just because a purchasing guide, that's not even in the game, listing temporary measures hasn't been updated doesn't mean I'm infringing anything.

    As I said, the restriction disappeared when the moratorium expired, which obviously makes sense. SE gave existing homeowners a head start of two weeks so they could relocate, if they desired, along with allowing houseless FCs that were illegible under the temporary restrictions to finally get a house in populated servers. If you actively bypassed those temporary restrictions on FC house purchases by using multiple service accounts to obtain houses during the moratorium then sure, SE might tell you that you were exploiting and you may/may not get punished because you were trying to capitalize before it was open season.

    Secondly, there's no workaround or "loophole" as you like to call it unlike using ungarmax outside of designated instances in an effort to clear other instances. If you meet the old requirements to purchase an FC house, there's nothing stopping you. Someone that quit during heavensward and just came back, having no knowledge of what happened inbetween wouldn't even know about the temporary restrictions.

    Don't get me wrong, I appreciate being confronted on the subject when it's being done properly. I didn't want to body that Famfrit guy above, but he was asking for it tbh . You have every right to be doubtful of my motives/intentions. I certainly prefer that over being depicted automatically as a bad person because I do things differently than others. It serves no purpose in a debate.
