New Ward Classifications are out!

[dspguy]

You missed the part about how they are changing distribution of other wards as well...
I don't know anyone happy about this.
They are essentially screwing everyone over somehow.
FCs- don't win round 1? Too bad, all other housing is gone to personals.
Personals- want a large or medium? Too bad, FCs have more buying power and you'll be swallowed if you bid against them.
And Auto-demo being turned back on wont help it or make it better.
This is the WORST possible news they could have brought out besides making all 4 one or the other.
They need to seriously rethink this.

Wards 1-6 and 25 are FC only. That's plenty. And to be fair, FCs have had months to buy a nearly uncontested plot at this point. Keep in mind, if an FC wants to bid on a plot in an FC/personal area, they could throw all their bids on one plot increasing their chances against the personal buyers.

The thing is this... if you don't own a house, go after a small. Then at least you have your foot in the door. When more wards are added, go after a medium or large and have nothing to lose.

And its not fair at all to force people who have been bidding for 25 rounds now on smalls and haven't gotten a damn thing to have to go for smalls when they should be able to have just as much a chance at a good plot as others. 'Go for a small and get your foot in the door, go for large or med later', well there wont BE those good meds or larges most likely for a LONG time to DO that.

This is true, but it always was. Even back in the click placard days - although one could say it was worse then as any free mediums would be snapped up by a bot and resold before you could blink.

For those who do not wish to move to a new server, all you can do make a choice for yourself - a better chance for small goblet-cliff house now and have something at least for the years it takes to upgrade, or keep trying for the jackpot medium with the infinitesimally smaller chances and very likely stay homeless.

Sucks, completely sucks, but that's what we are stuck with it seems.
