I don't think there's any other way they can solve this without grandfathering those players in, unless they want to run the risk of a section of the player base getting mad at them all at once. What would really make me happy is that they fix the system so that it's no longer possible for players to keep coming in and purchasing multiple houses per account. The ones who already have will eventually end up taking breaks or moving on to other games and those houses will come available and those players locked out from building their little empires back up again. That's all anyone can ask, really.

But it's all speculation at this point anyway.

I think you and I are talking about two different problems though. I'm not disagreeing with you that giving everyone a house would solve the problem of players not having access to housing. But my post was in regards to the problem of players having potential access to multiple houses on the same account, not to being locked out of it altogether.

Since I started fairly late I mostly own smalls, looking to upgrade to mediums and maybe try to snag a large or two. I do agree grandfathering people in is only fair, but I simply do not understand why not come out and say they are putting a limit then grandfathering in players that currently have multiple plots. Since that information does not really allow players to prepare. That is why I personally feel they are not going to change the rules.

This whole thing about them trying to hold the details close to their chest simply gives me the vibe that nothing really will change because for the life of me I cannot figure out how telling the player base they are going to limit the amount of plots people can own on a single serve allows for anyone to prepare. Now withholding info regarding people with multiple plots being grandfathered in I could see why they would refrain from disclosing that info.
