To be honest I was always against a lottery system but a lot of people asked for that very loudly. Now we have the mess the people asked for. Now it is like I said before. There is no real chance to get a house in the end. For most people it just turns out in endless waiting without their money. And I think a lot a resellers tried to get all the good fc plots with 0 entrys. The 30 days rule is much too short. So they can still sell the houses via (fake)FCs. The person who buys it just have to wait 30 days until the process is done. A time, that too many people will just accept to wait to get their plot 'save'. Yes it's forbidden in the terms of service. But who will controll this? People will go on. I made other suggestions for the housing issue but at least they did what the majority ask for.

And I am no fan of instanced housing, too. One of the cool things of the housing is the fact that you have those housing districts. That you can visit other people's houses and so on. In my eyes instanced housing sounds..., mmh..., how to say that..., just more lonely and boring. And it would take away a lot of value from the houses in people's mind. People are so much interested in that stuff because it's rare an special. So in my opinion we just needed two things. Some more wards and plots (or servers), because all the new players, and some new rules to stop the resellers. Now we have a system of waiting that makes it more complicated and still the reseller problem.

But that's just my opinion. :3
