Suggestion For housing

[Penthea]

They amassed that before the personal house restrictions were in place though didn't they? I don't recall the timing on that, but if it was before then they could have snagged up to 32 plots between the two of them if they each had 8 character and each character had a personal and an fc house. That's just using one account each. The maximum any one account can acquire per world starting from scratch today is 9, so a total of 4 accounts needed to own an entire ward.

And yet this restriction will not help if a huge fc wants to collect shell fc houses. Some have already done it. It would be even easier with a lottery system.

We need a system in which the activity of another person cannot possibly affect your chances of getting a house. Lottery will not give us that.

That's true but if someone is using multiple account to enter a lotto, it's an advantage for them but it wouldn't be against the rules. Kinda hard to prevent some form of P2W in MMO's (not really P2W but you know what I mean. more money = more advantages).

That is precisely the problem with the lottery suggestion. It means players with more rl money could get a very significant advantage. And of course fcs with more gil too. It would be turning the housing system into something super capitalist.
