    Not the case on Excalibur. In fact, most of the houses that were available at my time of posting last night are gone. I have searched ward by ward. The only things that are left now are a few with a 3 hour timer. Every single plot had a timer.

    ... and about 2-4 bots sitting right outside them, scripting the sale, am I right?

    That's what it is on Levi right now.

    I am making my runs through the wards, while waking up, and making breakfast. I have finished the Lavender Beds, for example. I have been marking notes in notepad, so I can keep track of backup locations in 3 hours. In the LB there are 4 smalls available TOTAL, 2-3 people camping each one.

    I'd prefer a house in the Lavender Beds, but I doubt I'll get one. I am kind of OCD, in that my character's city state is gridania, so I want my house in gridania. Hopefully I can find an alternative.

    Update: So far, Goblet has 2-3 campers per house as well.

    And it's EVERY ONE -- and most of them have the frown face (Do Not Contact). I mean, they have more gil than basically any legitimate player and can just park and script.

    You basically almost HAVE TO break the TOS right now to even THINK of getting player housing.

    Finished my evaluation of The Goblet. There are 20 small plots available, only 2 (at the time of typing) without at least 1-3 people camping it, with, as you say, the frown face. Every single house has a timer. Moving on to The Mist. Will go back in in another 40 minutes to an hour to reevaluate, and choose a location. If I can't get a house in a couple hours, I will have wasted my early morning.

    Update: In total there are 5 small plots available in The Mist. Each with 2-3 camping them. Unless some of these people are legitimate, and actually afk, I expect all available housing to be purchased in under 2 hours. Kugane housing has 0 available plots, as expected.

    To wrap it all up, there are 29 available SMALL plots on Excalibur - with a timer of just under 2 hours.

    A perk of playing on a dead server.

    Cerberus has the second highest active population of the European servers. It has only 400 less than Excalibur xD

    Well, our 400 extra people seem to really like housing.

    Also, frankly I don't even know how housing works. I never bothered to look into it before. I was looking devalue timers. I just need to find a plot and click it over and over, I guess? God this system really does suck, people were not exaggerating. I can see why there are so many bots.

    I was clicking purchase on the ones I checked, so no luck even before I knew..
