Housing on high popular servers.

There's going to be over 6k apartments per server. Even on Balmung it took 20 minutes after servers went up for every house to be bought up last release which was around 720 plots.

You should be able to grab one.

I believe they said they upped the numbers to 30K apartments, with it starting at 6K and adding another 6K once the first set of 6K runs out and more added instantly if necessary by the system, so there should be enough.

There is a way that would fix the problems with trying to buy a house...

Make the servers generate new wards as they fill up.
No more artificially inflated house prices and all house slots being taken at all times, leaving them affordable and available.

And I don't think crafters would mind selling housing stuff to more people.

Heck, they could've probably made the Apartments infinite at least since they're instanced, maybe allow some gardening and such in there so you can get at least the benefits of owning a house from them for people who aren't online in the first minute(s) of a server's launch...

There is 1 apartment building per subdivision. That's like 72 buildings per server. 90 rooms per building at launch that can very quickly (hotfix) scale up to 500.

I think its very likely your going to be able to get an apartment.
