That will be the new measures with 4.2, would they already be in effect? doubt that.

What if you have an alt on a different server that has a house? Would you be barred from housing on a different server?

Its per server, so another world wouldnt matter lucky enough.

probably not a priority but wouldn't it be nice if the apartments were more than just a lazy fix by copying the FC rooms? what if they put a balcony on them where they could tie the weather of the ward to the balcony? i'm sure they could do some generic ward backdrop to be viewed off of the balcony.

He stated relocation is handled differently from purchasing. If you own more than one house then you can still relocate, you just can't purchase more. If they were going to remove houses from people then this wouldn't be the case.

I got two personal smalls back when housing wasn't an issue on my server. I furnished them with lots of love and I hope one of them will find a nice loving owner in 4.2!
There is an emotional attachment, yes but it is a fix to the system that I welcome!

Q: Can you relocate if you already own several free company estates?
A: Relocating and purchasing are processed differently, so you are able to relocate.

I think this probably is a answer to the most important question.

IMO it would probably be a good idea to get rid of the excess houses while you can still control which house you keep, because you know SE will retroactively enforce the housing limit on all accounts eventually. I mean, look what they do with currencies.

4.2 effectively starts the beginning of the grace period because you know they'll force the issue down the line.

So when housing goes live. People won't be able to purchase a home if they are wanting it for private use? Does anyone know if it will be for ALL plots or maybe only the large?Which a large I can understand, I feel those are made for FC'S On a server like Balmung.. restricting it to FC's only is kind of shitty how in the world is that giving everyone a "fair" chance. -.- Maybe i'm reading it wrong though. I haven't had my coffee yet
