I have been playing this game for ten years straight on a 6month renewing subscription. love this game, I don't really take long breaks because technically you can't or you lose the house that took you awhile to save up for... been playing a little enshrouded wake of water and received a notification that my house was set for demolition today, I feel like was in the house within 45 days?:confused:?.. that's not really the point tho, if the developers are constantly telling us to take breaks from the game, but taking a break can cause you to lose your house, how can that be reconciled. I'm not asking to remove the demolition timer entirely because then no new players will get a house, but it should be extended.. 3 months 6 months, all I know is "45 days" is not enough time.
Demolition Timers should be adjusted

Six months isn't a break , it's a hiatus.
Most people within a united states get a week off for PTO if you youre even offered PTO. 7 to 14 days at most for irl. 91 to 180 days to not login to NOT utilize your plof is excessive when their isnt enough for to go around as it is. -

A decade? Humble me with your knowledge. Fuck the definition of the word altogether, we have the GOD DAMN EXPERT HERE.Quote:

The secondary currency for World of Warcraft housing is Hearthsteel, a new virtual currency bought with real money in the upcoming Midnight expansion. It is used to purchase exclusive decorations for player housing, though most housing items will still be earnable in-game. It will integrate with the existing Battle.net economy and should be compatible with the WoW Token, allowing players to eventually use gold to purchase Hearthsteel.
Id rather login once a month, rather then be subjected to a secondary purchasable currency "Hearth-steel", that also play into the primary purchasable currency "Wow Tokens" In a game I'm already paying a subscription for -
11-27-2025, 09:47 PMLaylaTsarraPaying a sub is all you should need. This enter the house in 45 days is a load of.... I enter mine frequently but still shouldn't be necessary for anyone paying to play this game. End your sub well then the timer should kick in, in my opinion although I think 3 months is more reasonable in my view.Quote:

I said it many time : housing demolition timer should be aligned on patch duration. Someone that comes back every patch should be able to keep his house. Patch are 19 to 20 weeks, so timer should be around 15/16 weeks (105 to 112 days). Let's be wild, make it 120 days so you have a couple of buffer weeks.

11-28-2025, 12:53 AMSolowingHow to word it.. Like so here's the thing, technically XIV doesn't require you to have a subscription to keep you plot, which in itself is the proverbial "slack in the line" If I unsubscribe, and let my sub lapse. My house will still continue to stand despite my subscription being lapsed as long as it has been checked in every other month and a week, give or take. But even if my subscription is active, I will lose it if I do not utilize it. Sidestepping the "paying member argument" as "non payers" are held to the same standard as "payers" A subscription isn't the criteria to keep your plot, its utilization.Quote:

The whole idea of demolition is to recapture ABANDONED/UNUSED plots, and those who QUIT also fall under both criteria. But an active subscription user who also abandons or doesn't utilize their plot within a reasonable time-frame falls under that criteria as well. Doesn't matter if your sub is active or not. You need to utilize your plot. If not, apartments are a better option if you wanna set it an forget it. -
11-28-2025, 11:32 PMLaylaTsarraI don't agree. Paying a sub is all that should be needed. Will they change it doubt it but in my view that doesn't make it right for people who are playing this game and supporting it. You're entitled to your view and that atm is what the devs support but those of us who don't agree can continue to express our view.Quote:

At the very least if they are going to do what they do they need to get their act together and make sure users are notified by email. That notification should also include an in game warning in chat if you are logged into the game.
They've at least added an in game warning if you enter your garden and not the house proper.
