Alright... just felt like making this post, since in good faith I was told you can own a house, a store and a vault. But apparently is not like that! I doublechecked with a DM and vaults count as quarters in the grand total of properties.
I was guilty and I apologize for 'stealing' up room I was not supposed to occupy.
So, fellow players, know that I've been a bad person (and making a public atonement) and know that vaults count as quarters should you find yourself occupying one.

Gomen!

...

The rule is applicable to owning property per player, not character.

So a player can own one Guild house and shop. Or can own a quarter and shop. But can own a quarter if it is inside their own Guild house.

A vault counts as a quarter, as it’s a purchasable property with a chest in it without other quarters within.

Vaults for alts would just make the housing situation worse anyways. Lots ok players cant get housing at all as it is. And ther are like hundreds of alts. The current system and rules are better IMO so no need to break something that works in order to try to improve it.

Ther are very good reasons why not everyone can get quarters a shop or have them in unlimited supply to all thier chars.

why can't you own a guildhouse and a shop?

You absolutely can. You can own 1 shop AND (1 guildhouse OR 1 quarter).

I think DM Spyre just mistyped when he said "guild house or shop" in the post above.

Yes I did.

Corrected it. Thanks.

So since my temple property doesn't have a chest in it, does that mean it doesn't count as a quarter?

I WISH

I was mostly describing the vault.

The quarter itself is any purchasable property that does not contain purchasable living quarters within.

Silly.

Yes there is a housing shortage even though there may be open housing. Here is my rational: It is impossible to design a game that has unlimited housing for everyone and every single char they make. !) THt is unnecessary 2) that diverts resources better spent elsewhere 3) That much housing would likely bring the server to a crawl. 4) IF there were no deleterious affects from housing, then there would be a lot more of it. If there is housing that is not being used, then perhaps move that housing to locations were it would be used would be the better solution.

Taking your real life example then I could say the converse: Just because there is extra housing in one part of the country doesn't mean the entire nation has a surplus and needs more of it as a whole. But if places like NYC have a shortage then that needs to be addressed locally. And the solution is not necessarily more housing though it might be.

Further I feel that people who are advocating more housing are doing so because they want it not because it benefits the server. Mind you I do not claim that this is true, but that is what i am getting.

Supply and demand baby!
The joy of government regulations or lack of!
