Problem: Shortage of housing. People want to buy houses, and there are houses locked up by players who have not logged on in a very long time. Note for players on smaller population servers -- yes, this is a real issue, and really happens.
People also want to buy houses in certain areas, or near friends. For me my house is nothing more than 2 storage chests, so I don't care, but I wonder about the overall plan.
It's cool that there is going to be a round of evictions in a couple of months, but I'm having trouble seeing how this is a long-term fix. There is already talk in /glff about people setting up free accounts so that on eviction day they can buy up as many houses as they can grab.
I wonder if the day after the evictions there will be people complaining that they still can't get a house, but now it's because PlayerX has purchased 30 of them?
