I think it is time for SE to expand the datacenter from 8 servers into 9 or 10.
Any other request such as copy other game's instanced housing isn't really optimal.
They clearly struggle with player log-ins when there are too many worlds on a logical data center. That's why the JP worlds just got split from 10-11-11 to 8-8-8-8.

Increasing the number of worlds and adding more data centers for those worlds is needed not for housing sake but for the sake of the expanded player population. Even with 4 new worlds next month and another 4 next year, NA is packed tight compared to EU and JP. What NA really needs is 6 data centers with 48 worlds. That would bring the average population closer to what it is n the JP worlds not to mention add more plots.

Optimal in the case of housing systems is very subjective. I'd still give up my Mist medium in a heartbeat if an instanced system with the choice and functionality of RIFT's Dimensions was added to this game. Creativity was not limited there as it is here and the search function made it very easy to find and visit Dimensions owned by other players. The thousands of Likes listed on many Dimensions showed that. It's just a shame the other content in that game was mediocre.
