Housing change

<p><span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #ffffff; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 1px;">You will not be able to purchase and move into a new house if the total number of items you are bringing (old house item count + number of items in old moving crate) is more than the total number of items the new house can hold (new house item limit + new house crate limit).</span></p><p>What's the reasoning behind this change?  Especially with the 7 year vet house(600 item limit, I'm reading) coming up, lots of people are going to be moving.  My Halas house has a 700 item limit, and is using all 700.  Now I can't move unless I place 100 items in my inventory.  Granted, it could be considered a minor inconvenience, but it's an inconvenience none the less.  I'm just wondering the thought process behind it.  Thanks.</p>

<p>We should have a fix coming for this.  You will be able to move, but you just won't be able to place anymore items until you bring your total item count down to the new house limit.</p>

However, after tomorrow you can have 700 placed, 700 in crate because they'll have individual item counts.  In that case, assuming you had both full and had 1,400 items total you couldn't move into the crag until you had less than 1,200 items total between placed items and crate items.</p>
