No, removing inactive players from wards is not a solution to the lack of land available. It's a step in the right direction though. People who simply aren't using the land they own shouldn't really have it. People who have quit definitely shouldn't be holding something over a paying customer. The developers should be taking steps to make it easier and more appealing for people who aren't using their land to move it on to someone else. That is the kind of change that should have been implemented very long ago, it isn't a solution but it is also only a benefit to everyone playing. The solution is adding more land, but they really should look at the obtuse sales system at some point.

No thanks, I like my house being next door to my Free Company Mansion.

Also, while Airships will be big, it isn't like they'll be a case of "No house, no content", Yoshida has mentioned quite a few times that you'll be able to invite people to use your Free Company Airship/s without them having to be in your Free Company. There will also be a Free Company Alliance system. I don't think a lot of Free Companies will die over not having direct access.
