Relo mechanics are Cancer

One of the reasons the wardsbare so empty is because of how spread out friends and social connections are. Hey my housenisnin shorogane. Butnyours is over in mist and Jane's is in the goblet. John is also in mist but a totally separate ward.. to Jane even though they have adjacent plots. 25 and 26 for example...

The wards are empty because the majority of the game's content is not located there. Getting all 30 house owners in a ward main/subdvision online at the same time and deciding to be at their houses at the same time is never going to happen.

If they do decide to be at their house they're far more likely to be inside not outside, which means they're no longer in the ward to be seen by others.

That is why wards ultimately don't work at feeling like neighborhoods. There's not enough reason for players to choose to congregate in one specific ward main/subdivision out of 192 ward main/subdivision options when the meat of the game is located in other zones and the most desired part of a house is located in a separate instance.

It's also why Yoshi-P may want to rethink the ward idea. There needs to be scheduled events or SOMETHING that gets people to be social otherwise... yeah... they'll be empty =(
