I would disagree that wards are ghost towns. People don't tend to hang out at a house unless it's a very active FC. In regards to people unable to buy a home... life isn't fair sometimes. Maybe they should have started playing sooner or done more to accumulate the money faster as the person before him did in order to buy early. Leave Gil buyers out of this (we'll never fix this...) but for the legit players, you might as well delete their in game character too as it's taking up storage space.

If GTA V and other similar games can maintain your data for years then FFXIV can too. I don't know much about the framework of SE's servers but if it were at all possible they should close down the weaker, quieter servers and reallocate those resources to the larger more active ones. Just my .02
