I think the wards should stay, as others have said, I like visiting the housing instances and seeing what others have done to their houses. I think though perhaps maybe the wards could be kept solely for FC owners and personal housing changed to instances housing. Not sure what this involves but failing that why not add more housing areas? Ishguard would be nice, and I’d love to see a camp bronze lake type themed housing area. Can’t understand why, seeing as SE know the huge housing issues, we’ve only just received one extra housing area and why Ishaguard never got One when HW was released, don’t understand the logic there! You could easily have sea of clouds, churning mists, cortheas housing instances. Might not solve the issue but the more areas added (also adding more than 12 wards which is a ridiculous amount for such a highly populated game) the more chance players have of getting a house.
