Housing Availability Infographic (large image)

But it does also take up resources, more than you might think due to the way they have designed housing (to be more community based rather than just instanced, single person things). [etc]

I find the resources argument unacceptable when much older games have provided similar neighborhood style housing far more efficiently and effectively. If SE want to compete with modern MMOs or even older ones then this is something they seriously need to address.

Apart from that, information about personal housing was given falsely and deliberately misleading to ease the players' worries about prices. I find this to be extremely disappointing, and it has greatly lessened my trust in those involved and the company in general (see this and this).

Great infographic, this needs more visibility so the developers can consider the scope of the problem on their hands.

1.5% of players having access to small plots when not even considering FC's is unbelievable.

From reddit:

Your whole graph is completely incorrect.

There are 30 plots. There are 3 large house plots, 7 medium house plots, and 10 small house plots. 3+7+10=20 not 30. Furthermore you are only including the two new wards. Previous wards were expanded to have more plots. Also since there are no differences in private housing and FC houses all the plots in each ward should be counted since they are now available for purchase by an individual player. Assuming that previous plots are not available is biased information meant to sway your argument and is false. In other words your graph is a lie. If you want to know the true percentage then properly multiply the number of plots by how many wards there are. Follow that by multiplying by 3. Take that total and multiply it by the number of servers. Finally divide that by the number of players and multiply by a hundred. That will give the true percentage.

Also, there's not 2mil subscribers. The source even says that. It's 2mil registrations, something different. No idea why they transposed the word from registrations to subscribers.

EDIT: Ugh, darn character limit

Ah yeah, it should say 20 small house plots. That is actually a typo then. The math does take 30 plots (3, 7, 20) into account, but apparently I stink at making stuff without messing up something important.
