How could you not? Housing has been the hottest topic around for years - one of the biggest gripes of not enough housing. You literally have to have the game patched, ready to hit 'Play' the moment it comes up and get in queue to be able to even have a chance at getting a house right now (if servers are brought down for patch/maintenance/etc.). You'd probably have to be logged out where you want to buy in order to get it - that was the only way I finally got mine. I hit 'Purchase Land' just as the steamrolling stampede of Shirogane was rolling to my house. I've also literally camped a house for over 12 hours for my wife (we took shifts), just to get her a small house. Housing is like Black Friday for the first time, every day.
