PSA: Purchasing a Personal Room can result in being unable to leave a Free Company

I do wish SE would somehow fix this option. I'm not entirely for the option for removing the lock option since from time to time my FC likes to redecorate the house and will lock it while redecorating to keep it a surprise, but its only locked for a few hours once every few months. But if the option to lock FC has to be removed, then that's fine. Would much prefer an option for players to go straight to their private chambers from the FC entrance. But ANYTHING to fix this issue would be best.

At the very least the GMs could've helped those people stuck in FCs they can't leave, instead they are hold hostages and GMs don't do anything

This could be solved very easily by, having the "Demolish Chambers" option work outside of the estate, and just give at the lest an second option under demolish to vacate and lose all furniture.


Actually what happens if, a member has a room with furniture in it, and the leader wants them to leave, they can just kick the member out i'm sure, but what happens to the members furniture then?

Before it was sent to an NPC vendor in the housing area. I believe it now goes to the storeroom? It might have stayed the same

Three years and this spaghetti code incident still isn't fixed. The least the GM's could do is force change the permissions so he can go in and remove his furnishings, but it seems like they can't even do that or punish the harasser.

I had thought they added an option to teleport directly to your personal room from the housing menu. I looked today and was surprised it wasn't there. They could add this and it would solve the problem.

It is seriously mess up.

Edit: Created a PSA about this on the french forum, it need to be know.

^ This!
FC Leaders should never have been given this much power. It should have been obvious when the permissions were drawn up that there was potential for abuse.

I cannot understand why this isn't counted as harassment. Denying another player access to something that they have purchased with their own gil and thereby forcing them to stay in your FC is surely in breach of the ToS? If this isn't a punishable offence it really should be.

This is still a thing? Holy crap, SE. If this isn't seen as harassment and willful intent on breaking 3.2 of the ToS and nothing's being done to free the trapped players, that's bad. Why is this not fixed?

Exactly, I don't get why SE's GM won't remove the player from the FC oO

The guy should, at least, be abble to get in his instanced room from the FC door, even if he has no access to the FC' house (or by a back window if you want to make it RP ^^")
