House limit

[worldofneil]

this pales when one sees 25+ plots (in a single area) owned by a single FC/Person. How can this be defended? This is an obvious breach of the 2 per person system

It's not a breach. Each character is limited to one personal house and one FC house. What you seeing are multiple free companies with the same short name (as that doesn't have to be unique), but each free company had to be levelled up to rank 6 to be able to buy a house and each is owned by a different character. Likewise each personal house someone buys has to also be levelled up to level 50 and max rank in the GC, neither of these are quick and require a lot of work.

no one needs that many houses for every one of their characters

It's not my thing, but I know a lot of people do it for roleplaying purposes. Also the garden limit is another reason to get another house. That and people want to customise more than one thing.

Those who are Using this loophole should be punished as they are knowingly exploiting a loophole and cheating the system.

It's only a loophole if you're not allowed to do it. You are.

Normal accounts give you the ability to create 8 characters on a single server (40 in total!) each of those is allowed to buy a house. Whether they SHOULD be allowed to buy a house is another matter, but it's not a loophole if they do because they're allowed too...

those who used this loophole should Lose their extra plots effective after their second plot with 0% return on their Gil as they used a dishonest method of obtaining it.

By all means be angry with the system and how it works, but don't take it out on those players that simply beat you to it.
