It was easier before because the lower pop worlds had a sufficient supply of houses compared to player demand. Even in 2018 after the timer was added, most worlds had several if not hundreds of houses available at all times. The timer was irrelevant because there was always a plot ready to be purchased.

That's not true anymore. The player base exploded in size thanks to the failure of some MMOs and problems in others. The supply no longer comes close to meeting demand even on the lower population worlds. It's a problem even on the JP worlds now where in the past most of the JP worlds had a decent number of houses available even when none of the NA servers did.

I cruised by many of the JP worlds yesterday. I can't visit Shiro with my JP data center alts but I can visit the rest of the housing districts. I only found 2 worlds with more than 30 houses still available. Most were down to 15-20 and it wouldn't surprise me if those were filled by now. A couple had none.

The housing situation is not a timer issue. It is a supply issue. Removing the timer doesn't not increase the supply.
