Personal Housing Questions

[Niwashi]

Mmhmm. They never seem to directly say if Personal Housing will be in wards or not.

Well, they do say that "the issue of how many plots to add will be under discussion" which indicates that it's not individually instanced, as that wouldn't have a set number of plots. The fact that they're choosing a number of plots suggests a ward system like what FC housing uses. They just don't mention whether it would be the same wards or separate ones.

Personally, I'd expect separate wards, if only because we'd have a disproportionate number of mansion sized plots if they mixed private houses among FC houses while just adding some more wards to accommodate it. (Then again, maybe that's giving them credit for more common sense than they've shown so far. If they had any sense, they'd have abandoned the ward system. They've already seen the problems it causes if they're unwilling to extend the wards when needed as they promised to.)

I'll wait to see it when it actually arrives, but these little snippets that are all the info they're letting out so far make it look like this feature may well be badly done enough to kill the game.

EDIT:
Hmmm.... Now, seeing the fuller quote, it's not as clear which housing that first reference to "how many plots to add" refers to. Now I'm just confused. We're back to that they've still told us absolutely nothing, and even with personal housing about to be added to the game, it hasn't even been referenced except as an aside to other conversations.
