Selling house

Is it still against the rules to try and sell your house? I am planning on leaving the server I’m on, but I don’t want to just relinquish my house and get nothing back from it. However, I am scared of getting banned from trying to sell it. I tried going on the main reddit page, but it’s against the rules to make posts about it there, and the housing market subreddit hasn’t helped either.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

Yes it is still against the terms of service, although I don't know how aggressive they are about enforcing it. If the timer was active atm the moment I'd say let your house auto demolish but I believe it is still turned off because of the hurricanes earlier in the year. The only other suggestion I can make is wait until they announce what exactly the planed for changes to the housing system in 3.2 as the ability to relinquish your house for a refund has been a requested feature (also they might turn the timer back on in 3.2).

If you transferring to a preferred server I believe there is a way to get a partial refund for the cost of the plot.

Ok. Thank you for the reply. I’ll try and be careful lol. I’m really not trying to flip it, and all I really want is the amount I paid for the plot honestly.

This thread can be locked. Thank you!

You mean 4.2? :P

Stop spreading false information. It is not against to sell house, as long you dont do it for profit.
I.e you bought it for ex. 3.75M then sell it for 4M = profit

One of those grey areas.
There isn't anything in the Terms of Service which directly forbids house selling. Those who have been punished for it have - as far as I can determine - been done so for breaking paragraph 3.2 "Disruption. You may not in any way disrupt or interfere with the Game experience of other players, including the disruption of Square Enix's computers and servers." which can cover nearly anything that SE don't like you doing in the game.

Selling a house for a "reasonable" price is probably okay. Charging excessive amount of money for a house is not okay, nor buying and selling houses on a regular basis.

inturn don't enter it and it will be returned and you will get 70% back.
if they turned that bavk on,

Gray area, if they find out and Wana Ban you they can or they can just ignore you and say is fine, as long you ain't selling it for 60mil + like Shirogane xD

You can sell a plot, just don't ask to much over its placard price.

Of course if you discuss in private (/tell) and make an agreement that's your business and wont be a problem as long as one of you don't try to scam the other etc.

Be aware they are changing how plots are bought so how it's done now (i.e. selling plots) may not work the same after 4.2 is released.

Mhm, interesting. Well, I needed gil for 4.2 but I really didn't have time to grind it. I also had a small house in Shirogane that I ended up not using that much because of what I just said. I wanted to kill two birds with one rock but it seems that I'll keep it if it won't give me any profit. If selling it for the purpose of getting profit out of it is against the ToS, I'll pass on it then. Yes, popular "against the ToS" activities like parsing are a thing, but that only affects the player using it. Selling stuff on the other hand, involves other players and that's risky.
