Likewise I think I would have gone with instanced from the start just because it's a lot easier. However the wards are kinda cool and it looks like this system may work fine eventually on all but the most congested worlds now that they are putting restrictions in place and the number of wards available is getting high. I don't know if it was worth the increased server load/cost on their side. If the expense of maintaining this system is not too high I'd call it a win. They are going to work on adding features to the apartments and making other housing features available to people who have no plots.
