I don't know what the thought process was there.
While Hyperion is a preferred world, it's not really a "less populated server". It's about middle of the pack. We actually have more active characters than Midgardsormr according to the latest census. I agree Famfrit is a lower populated server, but that doesn't mean that housing isn't important there (some of our best designers are there). There just aren't enough houses to go around for the huge number of people who play on the NA servers. (Point of reference, the newest census shows JP having around 17k less active players than NA, but JP has 8 more servers than NA, aka JP has 34,560 more houses for their 17k less people. I'm sure it's not a popular opinion, but I've said it before and I'll say it again, what we need is more NA servers. Though it probably won't happen with how hard it's been to get people to balance population on the NA side, but maybe world visit will help with that.)
