Ok, according to the rules stated in the above link, while you can only "own" one FC plot per world per service account, the actual limitation seems to be on you purchasing a plot. You can technically have two characters on two different FCs with two different houses.

The question is whether you can then be given ownership (either automatically or manually) to both FCs. Does anyone know if there is a service account limitation on owning an FC? If you can own both FCs, then there is no actual limitation stated in the link above on owning both houses as well since you did not need to purchase either plot.
I would have to find it, but when SE made it so you could only have one FC house on a server, what happened was this: Person A & B are in an FC that owns a house (mind you that neither person A or B had to be the owner of the FC, they were just in an FC that had a house). And then say person B had an alt on the same world that joined another FC that didn't yet have a house. Person B's alt also doesn't own this FC, they are just in another FC on the same world. That FC that doesn't have a house yet will never be able to buy a house because someone in the FC has another character in another FC with a house. That's why they quietly changed it. I think their code couldn't deal with the nuance of the situation that someone could have two characters in different FCs on the same server and it would mess up another FC from getting a house ever - even if that person owned neither FC.

Bottom line - SE's housing system is awful and they need to make player housing unlimited so anyone can have a house (personal or FC).
