Thank you for your thoughts, I appreciate them.

I've bought and lost a couple of houses over the years when having to take extended breaks from the game but didn't see the significant issues with availability then as I play on what once was a fairly small JP server. Coming back to find it essentially an "NA-lite" server now and experiencing issues getting even a small house got me wondering if a premium service with the intent of that money being used to rectify the lack of servers to host housing wards might be a viable solution.

I can't disagree, the community outcry would probably be more detrimental to the game than the current situation.
