We have reached that point, after a year online! Outlands is nearly at max capacity for player housing. It is still very much possible for you to find the space for an 8x8, though it is typically obscure and off the beaten path. This can be frustrating for someone looking to place a house. This is obviously discouraging and disadvantageous for new players looking to call Outlands home and something we are looking to change.
This is one of the only downsides of having a smaller map. Expanding the map is, of course, possible, however I would like to begin a discussion with the playerbase to gather ideas or approaches to freeing up some housing space within the world.
Here are some of the ideas currently being discussed:
None of the above are set in stone by any means, nor will they be implemented with any certainty, but that is the latest from community feedback. Have you encountered positive housing situations in other games which you think would be great ported into Outlands? What are your thoughts?

Here are some of the ideas currently being discussed:
- Quicker house decay times (30 days to IDOC)
- Only owners can refresh
- Unsolicited sale offers (meaning you can be offered to sell even if the house is not for sale)
- Houses that are for sale have a different house sign to indicate they are for sale
- New land masses only available for house placement to newer players, based on account age
- Taxes/fees related to owning houses
- Perks for only owning 1 house per account group
- Ability to lock doors in public houses
None of the above are set in stone by any means, nor will they be implemented with any certainty, but that is the latest from community feedback. Have you encountered positive housing situations in other games which you think would be great ported into Outlands? What are your thoughts?
