Just Another Housing Complaint

[LaylaTsarra]

2. The number of personal plots is 1,440 on a server now (isn't it?). On a server of 35,000 (I'll assume players), that's only enough houses for 4% of them. Surely you'd estimate that more than 14% of players are interested in getting a house. (based on the 4% with houses I've guesstimated, plus the 10% you've guesstimated are interested in it). Does that really sound right to you? I'd have guessed a third really want one, a third won't say no to one, and a third don't care about one.

There are 7200 plots on Siren and only recently have wards been adjusted and that remains to be seen if they'll stay FC only and how the distribution will be handled when they begin to make adjustment or add additional wards. So really trying to use the 1440 is a bit disingenuous don't you think given many of those 7200 plots are already personal. I suspect they'll be no adjustments to the FC distribution until 6.2 but we could be surprised. In addition I suspect a lot of people are making small FC's to by pass the restrictions and in fact buying personal FC houses.

In addition a good number of people have alts on Siren (I have 5) and a good number of my friends have them as well and given the 4.2 rules only one of them can buy a house now on the same server. How many alts are there I don't know but I bet there are a ton of them. There are also people who are new and can't buy houses and those who don't even want a house and many of those 35000 characters aren't active unless the 35000 figure represents active numbers and I'd love to see a link supporting that.

I don't disagree that ward housing isn't sufficient and in lieu of massive additions instanced housing alongside wards would be a better solution. SE has to have a better handle on how many want houses given the lottery numbers and hopefully will begin to take actions to address the imbalance.
