Alright placard sucks and raffle is not any better. So put a wait list for each ward in, each ward gets its own wait list.
There you go no placard clicking and you are garaunteed a house once the list reaches you and has one open. It still follows first come first serve as those who get there first get higher positions on the list. This is the second best solution to Instance housing, with the current solution being third best. I have banged my head on this problem for a long time just like so many others, Outside of instance housing its the only other way to ensure players get a house at some point. Still relies on the demo timer taking houses but its better then the current state with so many being unhappy.
Rules:
-New wards will not have a wait list until they are full. If you buy a house in a new ward you are removed from any wait list you are on.
-When you go to add yourself to a wait list, you will choose Free company or personal setting the house to your choice then and there. When your turn comes up you have 24hrs to make the purchase or it moves down the list.
-You can only be on one wait list for Personal and one wait list for FC at any given time.(per World)
-Free companies will function as normal. If someone has the money and the permission to purchase. And their FC comes up next on the list that person can make the purchase for the FC.
-Free companies being on a wait list will have no effect on its members being able to add themselves to a wait list for a personal.
- Wait list positions cannot be transferred to another wait list. You can only add or remove yourself from wait lists.
Failed to address relocations in this. But to put it simply for a wait list to not be a waste of time Relocations would have to be restricted to new wards. Lastly I was one of the many people who suggested the timer idea, this current idea never occured to me at the time. But I feel its a far better one then the timer, SE may never give us instance housing so I am fully onboard with anything that works better then what we got now.
