Housing in SL2 is a big part of a lot of characters and can be turned into very enjoyable rp spots. It's a very important part of the game and it's even a donation item

The issue: If you want a house in Dormeho, Tannis, Lispool, Cellsvich, Voilegard, Albedo even... You can't, because all houses are taken. Nowadays you need to be very lucky or buy someone's house spot oocly, or rely on the kindness of someone.

Solution 1: Make more houses
To cram more houses in the game would likely fix the issue but that would mean putting in more "districts".

An option for that would be to make individual houses smaller in general and putting more where it fits

Solution 2: Rotate through houses that aren't used
I'm not sure what the system looks like right now, but a lot of houses stick around for a while even without any building done in them
An option for that would be to make the rotation faster, or add a murai cost to be paid a bit like the shopkeeps, even if it's very minor. This would mean people need to put effort into actually paying their like 4 murai per month so people who don't care about their house would need to put in some effort or allow it to rotate out.
Alternatively, require the owner to enter the house to count for the kick time, not just log in.
People would be less concerned about "Losing their spot" if it wasn't so hard to get one in the first place

Solution 3: Add more doors
Existing house buildings could have extra doors that lead to a different house, rented separately. Additionally, buildings could be added with a ton of housing doors inside, saving space

Solution 4: Allow houses to exist outside of the physical world
Simply put buildings in each town where you can buy a plot and build a house with no limit on how many houses there are actually inside. You could click on a portal and it asks you if you wanna enter a house or buy, etc, then give you a list of houses and you pick the one you wanna enter. A bit of an extreme solution but no longer would house limits be a thing.


Personally, I think a bit of a mixture of options 1 2 and 3 would be plenty. Really it just needs a bit of a revisit to make it more reliable for people to get a house where they want.
