While I’d like to see apartments get an update with different sized layouts, apartments aren’t a substitute for a house. As it is now, you can have both, and many do. Maybe some people don’t care about outdoor space, but the ones that do aren’t going to be satisfied with an apartment, especially when anyone pining for a house probably already has one, and maybe an FC room as well.

I also like the medium/large only ward layout idea, but that would take a lot of commitment on SE’s part and who knows how much server space. One of the reasons I keep campaigning for instanced is I truly think it’s the easiest way to satisfy the largest amount of people for the least amount of effort. Keep the existing wards and add on instanced. The instanced house/ plots could be modeled after the already existing ward plots, so anyone can pick the one their heart desires. And nothing gets taken away from anyone else.
