This is direct from the dev's play guide itself:
In wards designated first come, first served, an available plot of land can be immediately purchased by accessing the placard at its entrance. See purchase requirements.
* Players may only purchase one private and one free company plot per World on any given service account.
Well if thats the case, I would like to hope its a bug. If it isnt, I would appreciate they would fix the description a bit.
