Restrict Personal Houses to 1 Per Server!

1 house per account end of story, only people that want more are re-selling the plots and don't want to lose their gil maker. get over it.

There is no good reason why someone should have half a subdivision to themselves. Walked through the goblet a while ago, and two different FCs owned an entire ward. My friend and I visited each house that was open, and majority of the houses WERE EMPTY. And most of the ones that did have furniture in them, there were only a few things in them. So many plots that could have been actually used by FCs or individuals like myself who ACTUALLY cherish and use their plots. It was seriously heartbreaking. why have a plot if you're just going to let it sit bare? It's a waste of Gil, imo.... I just don't get it.

Maybe you're right, but you're also definitely too late.

After further consideration, SE should put a buy restriction into place with 4.2 (ideally 4.15, but I doubt it would be ready by then), so that anyone with more than 1 personal house can no longer buy personal houses.

A forced release should be put into place at like 4.25 or 4.3 at the latest where all houses, except on the character with the most play time, get released.

I think the overwhelming majority of the playerbase would be fine with that approach, as that gives the land barons enough time to divest their assets, while also fixing an aspect of this issue. And for the ones that don't divest, they (very appropriately) get rekt.

The only way I could see this working is if people get to choose the house they wish to keep, maybe have a timer to allow people time to decide. People having more than 1 personal seems selfish to me, but people are just doing what the game allows so who am I to really judge? Either way I think if the details are worked out, it could be a good approach.

Oh definitely.

While many of us would probably love to have a mug full of land baron tears gathered after seeing SE forcibly rip their land from them, I'd rather they have more finesse and do as you suggested: give them a window to disperse their holdings before SE forces the issue.

That would be the best way to correct SE's initial mistake.

As long as existing multi-plot owners are grandfathered in AND they add auto sharing of houses with alts...sure.

Add in the caveat that they must trim their holdings of personal houses down to 1 before SE does it for them, and I'll agree with you.
