Wards are tied to server hardware... that's why forcing restrictions is a necessary solution as this entire cluster isn't going to change significantly once Ishgard comes as we need somewhere in the neighborhood of 3-4x as many houses as we do before we get to a reasonable saturation point. It's better for SE to just admit their mistake, eat the losses and force the restrictions on everyone (so we're all the same) as that's going to add more houses back into the housing pool. Same can be said for the FC houses, although that's more an issue with the flaw in the FC system and people making use of creative abuses for the sake of greed.
