30 more wards would definitely make a difference, but you wouldn't even need to go back to first come first serve with that many new houses.

We don't actually need unlimited houses, only so many play and want a house, it's just that the supply currently doesn't meet that demand. In some smaller servers, particularly JP and the newer EU ones when they were still relatively new, it wasn't uncommon to find half-empty wards with plots that just weren't being taken up, by anyone.

It's not that this system was broken form the start, it just wasn't future-proofed for such a rapid increase in players.
