What if I don't get the plot I want T_TTo answer your first question: yes. Especially due to 3.0, there are a lot of returning players that quit before they were able to get a house, so there will be both individuals and new/old FCs looking for plots. I can't remember which patch it was, maybe 3.4, but when the servers came back online and they added two new wards, every small house was taken in about 10 minutes. I imagine it will take half that time now (if they only add two new wards, anyway). First-class houses won't necessarily sell out faster, there will just be more competition for them. Medium houses will probably sell out very quickly. Larges always take a while to go, but since it's been so long since they've added a new ward, many people have had the time to grind out the necessary gil to buy one as soon as they go up for sale, so... It's not going to take long at all for the new wards to fill, basically.
Is it going to be so bad that there are like... going to be dozens of people rushing the housing wards soon as the patch is live? I was intending on logging out in the Mist next to the NPC that lets you change wards and staying up to log in as soon as the maintenance was over. Which houses tend to be the first targets? Smalls? The first-class houses, or the cheaper fifth-class ones?
(sorry to hijack this question thread with another question, it's just I wasn't around to buy a house last time they added wards so I have no idea what it's actually going to be like)
