Fun fact, LOTRO's housing is neighbourhoods just like FFXIV. The only difference is that when one fills up, another one is automatically created. The downsides are that you have limited housing hooks and you can't place stuff freely, much less than what we have currently in our housing. SWTOR is instanced housing with a lot more space for things, which is nice. You can invite friends over as well by opening it up iirc; I haven't done much with the SWTOR housing yet beyond somehow get enough credits to get something lol.

For the record, the housing hooks (and what decorations look like outside of the decor placement menu) look like this. I have a small house, and our guild has a large house, both are limited in what you can do, and the descriptions of everything are visible, even when you can't use them - the only things usable are the kegs. Pros and Cons to both sides! FFXI has had instanced housing since the servers opened, everyone gets a Mog House upon creating a character where you can change jobs. They all are one size with two floors (smaller than a small in XIV) + upstairs porch and access to the Mog Garden from the house. I think the opening of the house was during Chains of Promathia or Aht Urgahn, and it was "make a party and invite them to your house" lol. Housing items were used for item storage because XI's inventory was sooooo bad - 30 slots total until you did quests to gain an additional 50 slots. They added more things that you could drop items into, but before it was just your bag, storage (which you can't access anywhere in the world and you have to be in your house to do so) and... that was it.

Anyway, I would love the idea if they could keep the current housing but just keep creating wards when one filled. I don't think they can because of how they programmed things and they'd need more server space to keep the current amount of housing items outside for each house size, but hopefully when they're able to upgrade the housing servers, they can do something like this or every other even-numbered patch add like, 5 more wards or something.
