In total NA has 19 different servers out of 28 where any player could have bought housing last cycle, if they wanted to.
Just from your example though… on Diablos, that’s one plot. Marlboro, one plot. Which was kind of my point. Any one player could have bid on either of those single plots. But there were more people bidding in that round than just one person.

We can speculate as to why that plot got passed up, and come up with lots of different reasons. Maybe they could only get on to bid a certain day and the plot they bid on had no other bids at the time and more jumped on later, maybe they just didn’t want Goblet, maybe there was a plot they liked better open for bidding, etc. But there’s still more active bidders than plots available.

Ah that completely slipped my mind! I’ll have to pay attention to whether it’s a mixed or personal ward next time. I don’t bother looking at the FC only wards anymore, so I forget.
