I was just thinking about how the housing seems to be designed, and I had an idea:
If you are an occupant of a house, you should get a Premium slot in the queue to join the server your house is on.
This would help lead to the sense of accomplishment from having access to a house.
To clarify, I think the house "occupant" should have the slot, NOT necessarily the homeowner. If the house is rented out to someone, there is not really a need to give the owner a premium slot.
This may be something y'all already have in the works, but I thought I'd put it out there just in case.
