On one hand it's predatory behavior to blackmail players this way, on the other hand I know people who haven't played for years and retain the sub to keep a fake house so it obviously works. Smart buisnessman.

This would be like if the developers made prime weapons have an afterglow, but limited it to 50 per server and to retain it you had to talk to an npc once a month in the game. If you unsub you lose the glow and all the gil / time you spent to get it in the first place.

Well... FF14 now has Island Sanctuary, FF11's equivalent for Mog Garden/Island, & next week's patch 6.4 will let players decor using outdoor housing items up to 90 furnitures. Think that would ease up alot of problems regarding housing needs.


Do personally admit having housing mostly for cheaper tele access, but only in long run since I do play there since start. Also, there's apartments which doesn't have destruction/eviction times, at least for indoor furnish needs. And it might not hurt joining free companies since one can rent rooms there as well which provides up to 500+ per FC.
