Apartment Lost?

I've recently returned to Eorzea after about 13 months away. I remember buying an apartment and furnishing it. However it is no where to be found. Even under the housing menu nothing appears.

Do you have to visit a specific ward to find my apartment? Cause I don't remember which one it is in :confused:
Is their an easy way to find my apartment?

Well... yeah. Apartments aren't universal or anything.

Yeah, but there's still an option to teleport to the apartment entrance in the correct ward. I didn't think that they could "demolish" an apartment. This sounds like a bug. If it isn't, something changed and people weren't made aware. There's also the possibility that the OP isn't looking in the right place.

You should be able to teleport to the ward that your apartment is in from the menu, will be in the same category as Mor Dhona. Then just enter your apartment from the building entrance.

Are you sure you bought an apartment and not a free company room? If you purchased a free company room and you were dismissed or the house was demolished you would no longer have access.

Yeah it's not in the teleport menu.

Can't find it, I guess it doesn't exist anymore :(

My 500K down the drain...

Sounds like a good idea! I'll try that.

Yep 100% sure it was not an FC room. Bought an apartment in the sultana's breath.

UPDATE
Contacted the GM, they said they've found no records of it. I must of been imagining things... I did change my name before playing again, I wonder if that might of been why I lost my apartment.
Oh well... guess I've gotta live with it.

Changing your name likely did it. Dwellings are tied to character name not account as far as access is concerned.

Sorry, but I disagree. People change names all the time, if they were to lose their house/apartment/whatever every time they changed name, we would have heard much more about it.

Pretty sure apartments are under the same "45 days unentered and we'll demo it" rule. And no names aren't attached to the houses it's the character so regardless of name change you'd have still kept it.

Apartments are not under the auto-demolition rules. That only applies to ward housing.

* Estate sharing is not permitted with apartments. Furthermore, apartments are not subject to auto-demolition.

I don't think changing your name would cause your apartment to demolish, either. I've never changed my character's name before, but I'm fairly certain if name changes caused the loss of estates/apartments, there would be a massive outrage over it. In short, we would have heard about it before now.

Yeah my last trip away from the game was much longer than 45 days and the two characters of mine with apartments both still have them. Won't for long (looking to server transfer soon), but they did when I got back.

That's half the reason I went for apartments over a house. The other being that you can't share a house with another character on your account... I don't have alts - I have 4 mains.

(and before some fool pipes in with "but one toon can be all classes", I have characters, not toons. Each has it's own race and it's own story.

Can vouch for this. Changed my name a few months back, never lost any of my housing.

I retract my statement. I was under the impression that names and character were one in the same.

this exact thing is happening to me currently. I thought I was going crazy, but I def had an apartment in Mist....nows its gone WITH ALL THE FURNITURE! ill have to contact a GM

The picture you submitted for a contest is of a hyur female, was that you/your apartment? Perhaps an alt has the apartment? Did you have the GMs check under the previous name? Unless there is some bug that's cropping up, apartments don't disappear without manually being removed. If it is a bug, I would attempt to put together everything that was done to the account/character from when you last accessed it.

edit: Didn't look at the date of that submission, that was a bit under a year before apartments were released.

That goes for you too. If it's a bug then it will help narrow down the case similarities so they can find what's eating apartments.

Only thing I can think of is if u switched servers you would lose that apartment.

That or u had one crazy dream

Not sure how crazy it would be to dream something like that. I've had dreams(hallucinations?) where I called my boss and told them I was too sick to come in. Wake up hours later to see missed calls and texts/voicemails asking where I was.

Apartments are not under auto demo.

It’s not possible to transfer servers without having demolished your apartment.

The only way you are “supposed” to lose an apartment is by demolishing it yourself.

The only reason I can come up with as to why you think you had one but no longer do, is:

1. It was an alt you bought the apartment with. (Or dreamed it like someone else said, which to me is intense.)
2. There is some kind of bug. Try contacting a GM using your previous name. Honestly that’s shouldn’t have been the issue as characters have special tags. This is why when you transfer after being “Eternally Bound” the bonding and friendslist and everything else remains in tact.

So only logical answer is you bought an apartment with another character?
