How to fix ALL Housing issues.

Yet before the lottery system is when almost everyone I know (myself included) managed to buy plots multiple times.

Also had the freedom to sell, relocate and swap plots with other players before they implemented the invisible cooldown to purchase plots. We were able to purchase plots the moment they became available.

I have a large estate on Aether, that I got just before they went to lotto. When I saw it available I had already confirmed entrance into an alliance or leveling or something roulette. I entered, thought the house would be gone anyway even if I left immediately since it was peak play time so just played through it. Got out, the large house was still sitting open, so I ran up and bought it. No muss no fuss.

It did indeed stink to get a house due to scarcity, but some sat open for quite awhile, even larges. You just had to check the wards at the top of the hour when abandoned plots opened, which could easily be done. I got my house that way, my spouse got theirs that way, a handful of fc mates did it that way, we even got our fc house that way. So many ppl just thought it was impossible due to rmt or scarcity and just didn't bother doing the bare minimum of checking the wards now and then. I would see houses sitting open for days sometimes, some smalls for weeks. Yet I would hear ppl on my server, where there were houses open, complain that there were none.

We do need new, more abundant and better housing, but the problem was with the ppl sometimes, not the system.
