Can Square stop housing demo for a bit due to Canada's flooding?

Sorry Kenky. Its not possible for me to disagree with your way of thinking anymore then i do. I feel its frankly dangerous in general. This whole "if you disagree your a bad person" stuff needs to be stopped.

If North American Servers only, I don't see potential housing being locked out everywhere else.

Problem is, NA players still play in other servers for whatever reason.

No.
No more turning off demo because someone, somewhere has the sniffles.
There's always something happening to someone, somewhere.
That's life.

Where did I state disagreements = Bad people? Or even hinted to such a thing?

Disagreements are healthy and should be encouraged and discussed, to further ones own stance and opinions. If you merely toss aside people who disagree with you, without learning the why, then you're not for discussion or looking for common-ground. But rather you are searching for an Echo Chamber.

And everyone knows just how catastrophic Echo Chambers truly are, if left untended.

My assumption would be you calling out the comment regarding "Getting a house from someone that lost it through means out of their control is distasteful". Which it is. Or rather, boasting about getting it. I personally see that as something we shouldn't encourage, as (to me) it looks more like profiting off anothers loss.

Yes, houses are finite (~4,000 total if memory serves) and not everyone will get one. If they don't use the house, then they don't need to keep it and someone who wants it can have their shot. But the Bragging is the distasteful part.

Sure, it may suck for the house-hunters. But if you want to try and get a house from someone that lost it as a result of problems out of their control, you're kind of distasteful. While disasters / outbreaks don't affect *you*, it affects *someone* and we, as a species, should care and empathize.

And I'd argue throwing a fit over a digital house when you're in middle of a disaster and whatnot shouldn't be your top-priority.

Video game and digital house > your life ammirite?

I'm not sure anyone would even have the ability to know why a house got demo'ed in the first place for them to brag about getting it from someone else's misfortune unless they knew the person well enough to know their RL circumstances.


For some random stranger getting a plot they had their eye on for awhile or camped? Yeah celebrate, brag and throw a party. Housing is savage.

If they choose to play on other DC, their own risk
Canada flooding have nothing to do with Europe or Japan
suspend the demo for NA DC name sense, EU/JP DC do not

You missed the mark entirely.

The "Why" was not in regards to housing. But learning the "Why" in Why people have those specific opinions. Why they take those stances. If you do not learn why the people disagreeing with you are actually disagreeing with you, then it is not a discussion worth having. If neither party discuss with an open mind and intent to try and find common ground, there is no point in the discussion taking place.

It would not be beneficial. It would just be a "who yells louder" match.
