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

[FritoBandito]

SE, if I buy my own hard drive and mail it to you, can you just keep my house on there? :P

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

All of the reasons you keep stating are laughable...

I love this so much.

OP and those in agreement, I have no idea what life event would incapacitate not just your ability, but every other person in your FC (wife, aunt, brother, husband, friend etc.) to log on for 3-4 minutes over the course of 35 days, but if by some chance that happened I think losing a virtual house in a videogame would be the least of your worries.

[Maero]

this is a silly thing to add if they do
"To Free Up the land", well last i checked their is till lots of land available, lol
But i agree if none logs in for 35 days then housing is not important to that free company obviously

All of the reasons you keep stating are laughable.

Because you do things based on your lifestyle and culture, things are done at different rates for everyone. Med students, for example, vary greatly. Some will take 35+ days to study for exams and others will not. Also if a child is born without a cleft palate or has other difficulties, it may possibly take way longer than 35 days to deal with such issues. Also, some cultures have funerals last nearly a month. They may have 3-4 actual service dates but the preparation for those dates may actually take an entire month.

You are not considering other people's situations at all. You looked at your lifestyle and just set it as the base standard.

This is precisely the reason I have no desire to have a house. I know I will have zero commitment to it and it will just be another inventory space, at which point id rather use a paid retainer.

This thread is about having a house and losing it because RL issues exceed the grace period. People want to continue to stay committed to these houses, if they weren't, they wouldn't be addressing their concerns about the grace period.

Also, if your going to argue for the current standings on the grace period, your argument would weigh a lot more if you actually had a house. The work required to get FC lots, especially large lots, for small FC's was not an easy task. They are going to argue because the work involved was quite a bit.

Why would they check their house though, they serve very little real practical purpose.

actually, my fc is pretty big and social, but we have a small fc home atm. we are there EVERYDAY just being silly and having fun.
the house does have a purpose. you go there and spend time with your fc. that's what i do anyways. just to relax and dance or
sit in the hottub, afk chat while just eating in rl or something. theres almost always someone in that home. my fc leader
max all things all he does now is recruit new ppl! so he sits outside the house and stuff. we even debate abt what to add next
to the house and take votes and help decorate it...it's fun.... -_- thats the point.



now if this was personal housing...we have a problem...and thats another story. oo;

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

i laughed way harder than i should XDDDDD

[Naunet]

35 days is PLENTY of time. Every other MMO with personal housing makes you lose it after 2 weeks of nonpayment.

Er... No. They don't.

housing is not instanced and land plots are a premium in this game.

SE should invest in better servers rather than taking from players their hard-earned work.

Here are some actual examples of not-especially-dramatic times various members of my FC have not been able to log-in for 35-day periods.

1) A & B went on a 40 day road-trip overseas, left PS3 at home (wouldn't have worked anyway, that whole voltage and PAL vs NTSC thing).
2) C had a study-abroad term, also left PS3 at home.
3) D bought a new flat, ISP service continually bungled reconnection because it was a new-build block and they couldn't figure out the wiring. It wasn't a major problem because they had mobile wireless but you can't install the launcher to an iPhone.
4) E's city got hit by the mother of all blizzards, ice damaged their outside wiring and their ISP was overwhelmed by other incidents and took forever to get around to fixing theirs. A friendly neighbour let them piggy-back off their wireless signal but there wasn't enough bandwidth between them to run the game without being a jerk about it.

Granted, this didn't happen all at once but there's no reason it couldn't have. Life happens.

This is a game.

Asking a group of people to make a serious long-term and constant commitment to the game to keep their group's progression isn't fun and it's a good way to make sure that when they drop their subscriptions they won't be coming back with the next patch.

and it's a good way to make sure that when they drop their subscriptions they won't be coming back with the next patch.

This right here is the kicker. The biggest impact this rule will have is in preventing people from re-subbing - the exact opposite of what SE wants.

[Starlord]

Time should be based on the size land of the FC plot.

Large= 35 days
Med= 55-60 days
Small= 70-100 days

[axemtitanium]

If no one in the FC can be arsed to check the house in more than a month, the FC doesn't need a house.

First response to OP is exactly what I was gonna say. Say no to squatters!
