Auto Demo Timer Restarting

I assume that's exactly what they will do. If they were to make it "FC's first" again then they should prepare for a complete shitstorm.

If anything it will be like when they added Shirogane.

Were there any special conditions applied for that release? Or was it just a free-for-all?

I think it was free for all if i recall as it was a completely new residential area and in this case with will be what like a crap ton of wards this go round. I can be wrong though but I wasn't interested in housing at the time. I mean I didn't get my first plot until last spring (2019) when they turned the timers on. Yea I sat through an ungodly amount of placard clicking. So best advice. plan accordingly. expect server congestion and queues and of course expect placard clicking because I guarantee you people will relocate this is a new district.

Shirogane release was a free for all. At that time, there was no limit on the number of houses a player could own on a single account, FCs only needed 1 member to purchase a plot and the purchase timer didn't exist. House flippers showed up en masse to buy up everything they could because there was nothing to hinder their ability to resell to other players. Most NA worlds saw everything sold within a couple of hours of the servers coming online.

It was in 4.2 that SE started adding in the restrictions that made it more difficult, though not impossible, for players to resell houses and began to implement personal purchase moratoriums as new wards were released.
