I got a house?!@

My guess is you won't be able to relocate into the NEW wards since they are supposed to be locked for FC only at the start (and some houses locked permanently for FC's) but you'd be able to find one in an older ward to move into.

Incorrect. It's been confirmed in the preliminary patch notes that private houses can be relocated.

I still think it's going to be a s**tshow because 4 members isn't really a high bar for FC-eligible plots PLUS people with houses being able to relocate -- Shiro will be packed in a matter of minutes. Again. Then there will be a lot of complaining. Again.

I am half considering camping the LB teleport and cycling the wards and aiming for a med or large in there once someone successfully relocates. But that has it's own risks...

Up to you, but back when Shiro was released I was able to upgrade mine from a small to a large by camping Mist. As an added measure, I logged out inside one of the wards (next to the ferry NPC) to cut down on any possible lag/loading issues at the Aetheryte and cycled the wards there until I saw a large open.
