Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

First come first serve was as fair as it got tbh, but then you have people complaining "what about people with bad pcs !!!!! what about if i'm at work !!!!"

Except people who broke the ToS by botting to placard camp had a clear advantage in the old system. Because yes, many people have real life obligations and can't spend countless hours staring at an empty plot constantly checking the placard too see if the timer is up yet so they can try to purchase it. Which in my opinion, was even worse losing on buying a plot because you could easily waste hours for nothing, which I unfortunately have with that system.

it's an endless flow of complaint and always finding an issue with every system

Because the real issue isn't so much how you acquire a plot, it's the ridiculous artificial scarcity of the current housing system that's causing all of the problems.

And to the breaking the rule comment, it's not agaisnt TOS to multiown, you people need to stop with the false information, there is NOWHERE in the TOS where it says that.

Yeah, not against the ToS, but you're still selfish and greedy.

That's not first come first serve though, FCFS is getting a house immediately which is the old system that it worked under.

Housing is scarce yes, absolutely true, and that's why the option to move to a less crowded server or datacenter exists if you REALLY want a house.

As for the last comment, I didnt say I was doing it, the person in the previous page mentioned having multiple, not me

If you're not one of the multi-owners then I apologize for assuming. I still think the people that jump through hoops to circumvent the spirit of the account limit for housing are being selfish though.

FCFS was still and issue, as others have pointed out already.

And I'll keep going back to that it's the ward system that's the real problem. Moving servers isn't an option in some cases as some data centers as a whole are overcrowded, and again that has a whole lot of draw backs in changing servers in itself because cross server FCs aren't a thing. If they'd just add instanced housing then there would be no need for dealing with these ridiculous bandaid systems or workarounds where no one is ever really happy.
