What I am worried about houses.....

They will instances, and well, we know how the instance server got it already.

So what is best, have a game running as it does atm, or have a lot of house instances that results in us not being able to take game instances ?
The funny thing about the instance server is that it shuts down instances that aren't in use. If hundreds of people are hanging out in their houses, then those are people that AREN'T out in game instances. Also, I suspect a small house will be a far smaller strain on the instance server than massive zone with dozens of mobs and complex scripts.
Yeah, I wouldn't worry about instance server load. Housing instances will take very very little resources. The problems we've had in the past with instances are related to raid zones with a lot of complex processing going on inside them. That's not the case here. We have hundreds of guild halls running all the time, taking almost no resources...
