Best guess, 7am Pacific, 10am Eastern. This lines up with the daily resets which is also the time from when the system went active with the 3.1 patch. That being said... probably just going to have to wait and see.

assume somewhere around 1am on the 25th
because the update of 3.1 happened over the course of 23 hours there is no telling when they reset the servers and when the 45 day counter started.
your best bet is to just keep your eyes peeled and listen to your FC and LSs.
i hope this helps some... -

Best advice I can give is hope it happens at all, heard a lot renewed their subs just to log on enter their house and log off to prevent losing it.

I cant wait to be the 25th, so i can witness all the shitstorm going on the forum.
When ppl will realise they were too slow and all the free plots have been taken within minutes after they were demolished, i will be here to tell them "Merry Xmas". :D -
12-23-2015, 04:20 AMIlitsaI'm more waiting for the shit storm that comes from people losing their houses and it "being unfair"Quote:

In all seriousness i dont know what people are expecting to happen on the 25th.
There will probably be 2 or 3 houses per ward getting demolished, yet ive seen alot of players seeing it as if they were guaranteed to get one of the newly available plots.
I dont really want to be that guy but with the amount of ppl trying to get a house there is a very high probability that if:
1, You dont know which plot in which ward will be demolished.
2.You dont camp in front of said plots starting from the 24th before midnight throughout the whole day of the 25th ( since we dont know the exact time ).
You will not get a house.
I wasnt joking when i said they will probably be all gone within minutes.
Regarding the OP it makes sense they didnt announce a specific time. Its to prevent too many players from doing what i said above ( ie camping in front of houses about to be demolished ).
It still gives a slight chance to the others players who werent waiting there beforehand. -

Oh and i forgot to say, if you re on Moogle the small plot next to my house ( mine being mist ward 2 plot 46 ) will probably be demolished.
Dont quote me on that as im not 100% sure. But i havnt seen the owner for months now. So its worth a shot.
Good luck ! -

Oh yeah!! Round two of the salt train!!!! woot wooooooooooo

Yea I will look to try to get a house but I know my chances are very low and most likely not be successful

12-23-2015, 06:39 AMAlexander_DragonfangWere, tons of vultures supported an unfair decay system that has no place and is soon to prove it will fix absolutely nothing. Only good thing that has come out of it is a placebo effect for the vultures, thinking they are going to have "chances" seem to ease them.Quote:

For all those reasons, im going to enjoy with a grin to see the "no housing aviable" threads come back. And see the vultures suffering about it. -
12-23-2015, 06:47 AMUnstablePersonalityThey have been doing it since it was announced last month.Quote:

Want to know if a plot is likely to open in a ward? Give a shout and talk to the neighborhood. People who are active are usually aware of who has been playing, and who hasn't been seen in ages.
Also for open small houses, go inside and check out the basement. If it's bare, it means they haven't been arsed to refresh the decorations in over a year, which is a good sign they aren't actively playing and it's going to go poof on Christmas.
I'm 100% certain that the house immediately next to mine is going to go open, and a FC mate will be stalking it. (Bare lot, no house built, dead FC with a MIA leader so nobody can build it before demolition time.) I'm also 95% certain the medium house on the other side of mine will be open, as there is 1 member left of the FC and she's only a 52 WHM. -
12-23-2015, 07:06 AMLexiaWhat you mean you can't take a fair break? What you suppose is a fair break 2,3,6 months? 45 days is plenty most people don't even get half that amount of break from their job. I do agree that not as many houses are going to open up as people think but also don't feel sorry for current house owners cause usually when people say they want to take a break it usually aka "i don't want to pay my sub"Quote:

Would you be upset if people were laughing at the ones losing their housing via this system? o.O
The consesus[sic] with who, exactly? I certainly don't remember a playerbase-wide survey or anything.Quote:

My advice is to login on the 25th not expecting a house plot to be open (or already scooped up by others) that way your not disappointed upon logging in.
-
12-23-2015, 07:36 AMCUTS3RYou better login early ( and by early i mean server time not local )Quote:

12-23-2015, 11:18 AMStouterTaruYou can see which houses are claimed when zoning in from outside or the town aethernet when you select a ward, so it won't be that hard to spot the empty ones.Quote:

*Days related to maintenance, server outages, or other times when the server is not operational (“Maintenance Events”) do not count towards the total inactivity time period. As a result, the actual removal date may be subject to delay due to such Maintenance Events. (The removal will never occur before the aforementioned Removal Date.)
We've had 2 1/2 hours of maint since then, so possibly add 2 1/2 hours or more to that. -
12-23-2015, 02:13 PMStouterTaruI'm betting that the time you were given didn't include any of the maintenance from the timer start until you got the email, otherwise the timer started almost 2 days before the servers came up. There was over 22 hours of all worlds maintenance before your email (plus the day long patch maintenance).Quote:

It's beyond belief that they will not expand the housing wards to accommodate more houses. It's very unfair to lock so many players out of housing because they can't be bothered to expand it.

12-24-2015, 03:46 AMAyerinnNew wards are in 3.3 not 3.2 - public housing sometime after that... so there is probably a minimum of 4-5 months before new wards.Quote:

They also mentioned that this game would not have a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription. ^^;
-
12-24-2015, 01:30 PMAmiazeThis. I was checking yesterday to see if any plots were available and discovered that a single FC had claimed not one, not two, but five plots, at least three of which (as far as I can tell) they used alts for. Unless they have some real money-makers in there, I don't even see how they could accomplish such a feat.Quote:

They should really put a demolition timer on the placard after its reached 40 out of the 45 days. >.> This is obnoxious.
