NA has fiercer housing problems than JP because it's got 30% more population but 30% fewer worlds to spread out that population.

It's not like SE picks and chooses where plots are made available. Every world gets the same number.

SE does choose how many worlds are available in each region and that's a decision they base on things other than housing availability. NA players seem to prefer playing on highly congested worlds. Adding more worlds to NA to spread out the population more (and add more houses as a side effect) would lead to complaints of "my server is dead".

Players can be their own worst enemies at times when they want things that conflict with each other.

I don't think that the majority of AUS/NZ players are necessrily on the JP worlds. From talking to the ones I know, they're pretty well spread out across all the data centers.

The difference is that they concentrated on a couple of JP worlds for language reasons while on NA (and EU) they're spread out over all the worlds since language isn't an issue.
