So, my friend recently came back and I took over the FC while they were gone. As they changed platforms they have to make a new account and as such their account is new but I want to give the FC back and move on. If its just us 2 in the FC and I leave even within the 30 day period will ownership just transfer to them?

You don't need to leave the FC to make your friend leader. In the member tab, open the sub menu on your friend's name and select promote/demote. Simply promote him to leader, it'll trigger a warning, select yes. That's it.
You'll be demoted to minimum rank though, but your new leader can fix that. -

Course, odds are that isn't your friend, it's somebody who just wants the house.

Oh I see so the 30 day wait once you add them in is irrelevant?
I appreciate your concern and know where you're coming from but it is definitely my friend as we communicated and spent ages trying to figure out how to get their account switched over lol -
10-11-2022, 05:16 PMJojoyaThis is a tricky one. Is your friend's old character still in the FC? If so, you can make the old character the FC Master once the new character is added then leave. You should make certain the new character is assigned a rank with all necessary privileges while they wait out the 35 days for auto-dethrone to make that character the FC Master.Quote:

Also when you say get the account switched over, are you talking about switching between a Steam license and a standard PC license, or are they switching between PC and PlayStation? A new account should only be necessary if it's a switch between Steam and standard PC. -

As Jojo said it is a tricky one, and it's something you should consider to be quite careful with.
If you leave the FC and there is nobody else valid to take over - someone who has been in place for 30 days - the FC is disbanded. If there is a house it is demolished and will go up for sale. If there was a workshop, it's destroyed too. If there is no house, all the ranks are gone.Quote:

But I would be super careful nevertheless. Safest in my mind, and what I would personally do, stay the 30 days they need to wait, and as soon as you can promote them to leader, then leave. -

Ahh I see rhat makes sense...
He was on ps4 and his account was linked to it and he moved to ps5 but it wouldn't let him link his old account to his new console. -
10-18-2022, 03:38 PMJojoyaThat doesn't make sense. I have several friends who had no issue upgrading their accounts from PS4 to PS5. Did he try contacting Support for assistance?Quote:
