Good things:

Lotto
30 day requirement for new FC members before being allowed to bid.
30 day requirement for the transferring of FC leader.

Unsure things:

Only 6 wards of personal housing
FC leader transfer being bypassed by simply deleting the FC leader. Is this possible?

That said, obviously this isn't going to alleviate the desire people have for personal/FC housing. These are band-aid fixes that will help in the short term.

But what are the devs' long term goals? We've been given many reasons as to why adding more housing isn't feasible due to server space limitations.

I'd love to get some feedback from the devs about this more in depth. What is the future of housing?

How do the devs feel about the current state of the housing wards? Has their opinions on neighborhood style housing changed at all?

Can we get instanced rooms that are bigger than what is currently in the game? If not, why not?

Is there /any/ thoughts on expanding instanced housing? Or figuring out how to increase the supply to meet the demand?
