I had a large at one time on Zalera, but that server was a ghost town for the longest time, so I went to Gilgamesh to see more faces and find more teams and such, but now I can't find a house and it seems my chances of getting even a small are slim. Why must we choose population or a house? I don't like that.
As for apartments, I don't want a single-room box in the wall where I can't even use any outdoor items. Literally one-third the space of a small. Same with FC rooms, but those are worse since it feels a lot less personal and what if you leave the FC?

Can't we just add more plots?

I'm not trying to whine, but I can understand the OP's frustration. It's an entire portion of the game that is being denied because of availability.

P.S. I really do wish they'd shorten that dang "invisible" timer. People have lives, you know. And what about making the plot glow green when there's still a "long" time left then orange and finally red when it's getting close for the timer to be up?
