Free Company Issue - Leadership Transfered.

Hi! We have a FC issue here. My FC leader, Yugi Muto had been inactive because his laptop broke. Because of this, he lost his leadership and transfered to one of our members who went online 1 day before he got back to renewed his account and login. But that member is also inactive and don't go online unless her housing is about to demolished. Is it possible if you can re-assign the leadership back to Yugi Muto or to me, Belle Fonda (since I'm back to active status) and I'll be the one to promote Yugi as a FC leader. Thanks.

The only way that can happen is if that person logs in and promotes one of you back to fc master.

Can people in Square Enix through their system/database?

No, because how could they determine that you are the person in which the FC should belong to? If they started doing that then anyone in any FC could just come to the forums and ask to be promoted.

Sorry, but you'll have to either wait for who has it now to log back in, or for 35 days to pass and then it'll transfer to the next most senior person who logged in within the last 7 days.

I thought it gave leadership to most active when leader went inactive?

i'm de leader give me the fc.... whoever else says they are leader they are lying. Square enix you can check all the things and just do it. I'm de leader now

unfortunately all you can do is to wait those xx days that the leaderships is passed to the next member with the highest rank & elder. I'm not sure if you do lose house if your master is inactive, i doubt so tho: my previous guild had the mastership transfered to another player and master was inactive for the whole duration of those xx days needed to lose mastership but we didnt lose house even if he was inactive because the member were using house regularly

Yes and no. At the point the FC leader has been inactive for 35 day the system checks the FC hierarchy and gives leadership to the next most senior member who logged in within the last 7 days.

Yes you're correct, the FC owner isn't linked to keeping the house. As long as at least 1 FC member steps inside the house every 45 days to reset the timer the house will remain, regardless of who the leader is.

Although with the demolition timer still disabled that's not actually possible right now anyway.

Unless someone with housing permissions destroys the house that is...

Most senior also means the order of promotion, so the first to get the leadership is the person with the highest rank the longest time.

Hello BelleFonda, Thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

Your issue is not actually a technical issue. But we still may be able to help. Unfortunately there is not anything Square Enix can do to assist you with this issue. Just like the other players in this thread have stated the current FC leader must log in, or wait until the time runs out and a new one is selected. I will be moving this thread to "general discussion"

Thank you for playing Final Fantasy XIV!

Sorry, but not necessarily. See the 2.2 patch notes:

In the event a free company master does not log in for 35 days (Earth time), ownership will be automatically transferred to another free company member, based upon the following criteria:
1. Members who have logged in within the past seven days
2. Higher-ranked members preferred
3. Senior members preferred

---

It will transfer it to the most senior person who has logged on to the game in the last seven days. Even if you have a rank setup that is "second" in the hierarchy, if no one in that rank logged in within the last seven days it will skip over that rank and look at the next rank down and so forth until it finds one where someone logged in recently.

So, your leader didn't login for 35 days, and the leadership was automatically passed to the person who isn't active and only logs in once a month to keep her house, sounds a bit fishy...

I would check the Free Company menu > Activity > History and see how and when leadership was changed, because it wouldn't end up going to anyone who isn't very active, you'd have to login and net more hours than you, which makes you look like the one who is actually inactive, otherwise you would have been elected the leader.

Thanks guys for your inputs. Everything is understood. The person who transferred leadership is higher rank as I. However, she came on first before me and my FC leader could.
