Limit Plots buyable

[Ravenblade1979]

I had this idea to limit the amount of plots you buy to one per server per service account. This would cut down on the amount that people buy at once giving others a chance to buy one for themself. Plus it would stop the reselling of plots which as we all know has become an issue.

And I know a couple who share the cost of an account that live together, but they're always playing at seperate times, and they're both interested in different plots. So why should SE limit them? Also what you suggested has been suggested before.

It'd solve a LOT more issues if they made specific wards for FC housing only.

Technically, I believe sharing an account is against the terms of service.

Unfortunately if two players are sharing a service account they are in breach of the ToS so SE isn't likely to take them into consideration for anything.

What the OP suggests would be the single biggest solution for housing, short of adding enough wards for everyone. It's been a common suggestion since personal housing first came out and I really don't know why SE is dragging their feet on it. It would free up a LOT of plots and would drastically reduce the ability of the 'housing mafia' on some servers to buy out all the houses just to resell them.

This should apply to FC's as well. One house per FC. There's an FC that owns half of the houses in a ward on my server >:T

I was under the impression that a single FC can only own one house.

But the 'short names' for fc's aren't exclusive, any fc can have the same short name as any other.

No, I've checked, its the same FC :T

I'm guessing Avera is talking about Aeth. If so, yes they have multiple "alt" FC's for the sole purpose of owning multiple houses in the wards; hobby houses like "Night Club, Cafe, Reserve this place for your Eternal Bond reception. We can customize for you." etc. So while it's not the same FC it's a type of sub FC that operates under the main FC's alts. Back when they first did it their FC leader bragged about it on Reddit and got flamed. Not that it changed much, they still have like 5 houses for no reason in Lav Beds.

They aren't the only FC that does this either, for example we have an FC in my ward that owns a Medium and Small right across for them just for decorating "welcome to the guest house! enjoy your stay"; they've been asked if they would sell it before so someone could get a personal house and the response from their leadership was basically "No it's mine" (so that 1 person holds at least 3 houses, 2 FC's + personal). This type of behaviour is seriously selfish when the housing resource is so limited.

So again, 1 FC/1 Personal per account/server would go a long way in helping stop these type of shenanigans and opening up a few more plots for other FC's/individuals.

or simply add enough se

Shouldn't be sharing an account. Expectation is one account to one person. SE should limit accounts to one plot per account per server.

Easier said than done.
