Plots everywhere demolished and open!

[Vahlnir]

If there are truly over 200+ plots open for each server, then is lack of plots a truly Housing feature issue, or was it just a COVID-timer-suspended issue?

Both. The lack of available plots was compounded by the timer suspension. 200+ plots still isn't very many when you take into account each server's population, most of which will still be homeless after this housing blitz. Were this a few years back, I would bet even the Goblet would still have smalls a couple weeks later. Now people will take whatever they can get in the hopes of getting what they actually want later. The player base and housing demand have only grown with time.
