I personally would never sacrifice work, health, food just for a video game house and I don't think anyone has to in order to obtain the house. You just have to be perceptive and strike when the oppotunity is there.
I agree with you. I went hardcore for my first plot on gilgamesh. It took freaking forever. after that I was like screw that and randomly check plots on other servers and it wasn't a available I just simply went about my day and never looked back. I then changed my sleeping habits and simply got up early to start checking before going to work and I was able to get a plot on Siren and Faerie.

*disclaimer* I transfered from gilgamesh during the world transfer when siren was preferred so I was without a home for a couple of weeks which worked out because a majority of my friends were on Siren at the time. We later transferred to faerie and I was homeless for a about a month but I got a plot just by simpy running and checking out plots before goign to work. No more than 15 minutes checking multiple plots. YOu hae to check the wards daily because you never know when a plot becomes open and they open up for a variety of reasons. I will demo timer being is mucks things up a tad granted its not like hundreds of plots available but it did provide a somewhat steady source of plots across different wards every few weeks as people quit their sub for different reasons.
