I imagine SE's decision on whether or not to suspend the timer is based on how much of their player base is going to be affected by a disaster. For example, they probably aren't going to suspend it if there's a natural disaster in South America; they just don't have a very large player base there compared to Japan or NA. I think it's good that they suspend the timer, though it was probably for too long this time.

So if within the same account one house is purchased one is a personal and two houses each on a different server and world have gained empty f c houses because of for lack of a better word "player default/MIA" how is this handled? I speak from my own current situation.

It's all world based so just going by one world for examples sake, if you have a personal house and you're IN an fc (don't have to be leader of an fc with a house, just in an fc with a house) you will be unable to purchase additional personal houses on that world and you cannot purchase an fc house for a different fc on that world. That's going by what was stated in the live letter translation. However the patch notes didn't specify just being in an fc blocking further purchase so we'll probably have to wait for the housing site to go up or just finding out from peoples' experience after the patch goes live.

Still nothing about the 40 interactable furnishing limit? Having to bang my face against glass wall of my fish tank to see it just because I have too much painting on upstairs is very frustrating and annoying.

Not that I've seen anywhere. I've been having quite the fun time trying to keep the fc house under the limit. 400 item limit, but the same interactive limit as an fc room. :(

Yeah, they keep adding interactive items and then I have to remove something to add the new item in or stuff starts disappearing grrr....

This would be a little harsh wouldn't it? Why should someone just joining a FC be penalized when they aren't even the leader of the fc that owns the plot? Just doesn't seem right. I can understand if you own a personal home and is owner of a FC home. that would equal one per world. But by just joining a fc that have a house? Thats ludacris (Not accusing you or attacking you just saying how silly it sounds)

I think the point of it is that they're in an fc with a house on the world so they have the possibility of access to the fc features. Of course the features that open up with an fc don't expand with membership, so a 1 person fc has the same airship/garden limits as a 500 person fc. That means there's a much smaller chance that someone in a larger fc has at getting anything from the airships, especially with the time/rng factored in for their use. There's still loopholes like giving someone not in the 'fc lock' estate purchase permissions and letting them buy the estate for the fc.
