If no one access a FC house in 35 Days you lose everything! Coming Patch 2.3 ><

And that's exactly the reason WHY it's useless that you'll lose your house after 35 days.
It won't ever affect FCs that are big enough that there's always someone playing.
It will ONLY affect small FC like ours. And if that's like 1 % or so then it's really useless.
Maybe only a handful of FCs with only 2 - 5 members will EVER lose their house because all of them are on a vacation, have exams, family issues or are just taking a break from a video game. So why making them lose their house at all?
Maybe, just maybe, some really small FC will lose their house due to inactivity and one other FC will buy the plot. But that won't happen ever so often. So what's the good of this?

And there are no rules that say it's forbidden for an FC to consist only of a few friends or family members and no rules that say that such an FC isn't allowed to buy a house either.

Why should a big FC have more use of a house than a small one?

Because it'll only affect small family FCs it'll hit them even harder.
Now we have to make sure to NEVER take a break from the game that's longer than 35 days.
It's right that if you don't use the house at all it could also be abandoned.
But it's just unfair to punish small FCs for taking a short break from a game.

What school do you go to where final exams last 35 days?

All of the reasons you keep stating are laughable.

No one is going to take 5 weeks to have a baby... my wife was high risk and we spent a week in the hospital. I've had cousins who were ultra high risk and they were out of the hospital within 3 weeks.

5 weeks for a funeral? Where is this funeral taking place, Mars?

A "dorm-wide internet outage nightmare".... for 5 weeks? Seriously? Go to a friends house off campus, plug your computer in, log in, enter and exit your house. Problem solved.

SE isn't saying that you need to expand upon your housing every 35 days... just saying that someone needs to walk in the front door.

That takes all of 30 seconds, if that.


I swear, some people will just complain for the sake of complaining.


In closing... yes, SE is basically telling small FC's that they need to ensure ONE member maintains a subscription and logs in every 5 weeks in order to keep the FC housing. If this makes you mad becasue you were thinking of not paying for the next two months, then coming back and expecting your housing to be retained... you lose.

I didn't say anything like that, I think you quoted the wrong person.

But only because our FC consists only of 2 real persons we are NOT ALLOWED to take a break from the game that takes longer than 35 days but people of big FCs are?
It is only POSSIBLE that both of us are unable to not log in for more than 35 days because of an illness or whatever. But it is more likely that all members of a family based FC want to take a break from playing FF XIV for 2 months and don't pay the subscription for that time.
Does no one of you ever take breaks from playing a video game?
If you really lose your FC house if no one enters it for 35 days than really small FCs are FORCED to play every 35 days and that's just wrong.
