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

[Arkista]

Taking away Plots of lands From Free Companies after 35 days of inactivity isn't going to help anyone. There are plenty of plots left on my server at least. I assume the reason why is that people want specific plot or specific wards. Adding more Wards is the only thing that is going to help. All this "if you don't use it you don't need it" thing is crap. If anyone really thinks that a FC is going to lose a Medium or Large house you are crazy! So what are FCs going to do wait months at a time and hope that FC on Plot 2 in Ward 3 never touches their house so they can buy it? People need to come back to reality. SE needs to add more Wards. As I said before this isn't going to effect very many FCs. But it will lead to a bigger issue Personal Housing. Yeah sure there are 250 people in the FC I could take a break and not worry about the house being gone. But what if this is applied to Personal Housing? If they do, no one that owns a house will be able to take break for more than 35 days. If they are doing this to FC housing, You can bet they will do it to personal housing. There are going to be thousands of Personal Houses compared to what 450 FC houses per server. If they have issues with 450 plots not being enough can you imagine how 4,500 plots are going to be? I don't know how many players there are on each server I remember them saying something like 6-7k lot of damn houses.

. Also, 4 people in the whole FC ? and they have a FC house?.

And your point? A Free Company only Requires Three People to start one. Never heard of players taking a break? Just because you take a break from the game for a month or two doesn't mean you quit. People take breaks often in the MMO world. MMOs don't make the world go round. I had a few friends that took a break after 2.1 and they just came back for 2.2. And it doesn't matter how many players are in a FC 1,5, or 500 a Free company is a free company. Not everyone needs dozens of players that they are probably never going to do anything with in their FCs.

A lot of you are ok with this because you are either in a big FC which is fine, Or you just don't think anything could happen to you. I don't think anyone here is trying to say that they should never remove a house. Many of us feel that the 35 day time period is to short. It should be longer or have an alternative.

Lots of you are thinking this is about players buying a FC house, paying there sub, and never touching their house. What people do with their Gil is up to them. But this is about small Free Companies losing something they put time in effort into. People get bored/burnt out/ Play other games/Cant pay bills or w/e (jail). Once this is implemented I can never take a break from the game for more than 35 days, Unless I hire someone to make an ALT to jump in my house once in a while. Or I just have to invite people I don't know or people I don't need to keep it.

All I meant with only 4 members, was that there are very few FC's around that have that few member and still have FC house, and to make up a story around how those 4 are all unable to log in for over month seems a little far fetched, that is all... No need to go calling people names.

The only reason for a FC (whatever size) to not be able to log in for 35 days, is if everyone takes a break at the same time... I mainly answered based on what people said about being unable to log in because of trips or whatever, but taking a break is another thing.

I think they can increase the time for that reason, but they have to have some type of restriction going forward into the game. If you take a break longer than 2 months, then you don't play anymore in other words....

I think you got it? There are a lot of FCs made up of small groups of friends. Mine started with 7 IRL friends/Family and 5 of them stopped playing. If I didn't have a static at the time I probably would have stopped playing until 2.2 as well. People take breaks with the intention of coming back all the time, I did it many times in the 9 years I played FFXI, The longest of which was over a year and it wasn't by choice.

And as I have said many times this is only going to effect a very very small minority of FCs. If they think removing an inactive FCs house is going to help then fine, But it needs to be handled better than 35 days of inactivity and you lose Everything.
