I think new actual servers (not housing wards) would definitely alleviate the housing issue a bit, provided people are willing to move. Spriggan and Twintania only recently ran out of plots with ~7k players on them. All the other NA and EU realms have 10k+ characters on them that have finished 5.0. JPs housing problem is bad (no plots available) but it's not as severe as the NA/EU one because there are 32 JP servers vs 24 NA and 12 EU servers.

Alternatively, if we do get Ishgard housing, only a few more wards would be needed even for the largest servers in the game to have their demand pretty much covered for.

I actually meant whole world/server is housing wards and you move to your world from there. That way when it got full they could just create another, assuming they want to spend money on players to make the playing experience better. I do understand that the game is not designed quite right for this, right now.


The idea that ishgard and new wards before 6.0 would reach houses=number of players is great news. It would also be great if SE manually reviewed houses on accounts and took some action. Also we have FC points a maintenance tax for FCs should be looked into. Not something crazy but something a few people playing casually a week could manage. Or one dedicated person could manage themselves. SE has already went back on a few things for housing already, so these aren't to big. Once it has become stable with some smalls readily available for a few patches they could remove it.
