I think it's really obvious it won't be instanced housing, but I do think SE tried to play the usual PR hype-up game and it backfired. Mostly because the current housing situation is a mess and people desperately want some solution to it. Can't blame anyone since housing capacity has been an issue for several years now despite being advertised as one of the major features of the game.

Basically, SE accidentally tapped into the desire players have to fix a longstanding problem SE has refused to address or really even acknowledge. So the ultimate takeaway is that SE needs to fix the housing system.
I saw it at Fanfest and it was talked about for a hot minute. All we've ever had is the one image. Most of the hype has come from the players, so I take it all with a grain of salt. I'm sure we'll hear something substantial on the next LL.
