Another "we need more wards for housing" post, but also a suggestion on how to do it.

[Thraze]

Just doubling or tripling the amount of wards won't fix the issue unless the means by which plots are purchased is looked at.

If new wards are added, I suggest players who already own property on the server, FC or personal house, be prohibited from purchasing or relocating to new plots for at least a month after release. Players who already own property and want to try to get a different plot should be required to give up their land a week or so in advance. Call it a "land purchasing cooldown" or something.

This will give players who have never owned land a chance to find a property without having to log in and deal with the Hunger Games style madness the moment a patch goes live, and also give players who can't quite afford a house yet time enough to farm some gil.

I think this a far more reasonable and tangible means of addressing the housing problem than waiting another year to release instanced housing or something like it.
