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

[chocomaid]

FFXIV dabbles a very fine line between casual and full time, but you think in all your casual nature and approach to this game you cannot also spare a few moments in over a month to log in to hold your FC house if it's that important to you then you must really like throwing your money away.

An FC can be casual or hardcore. An FC, casual or hardcore can take breaks. An FC, casual or hardcore can be a small tight-knit group or a large group. People keep assuming that every FC out there is a large active FC that doesn't require much thought.

That saying, an FC that collectively takes a break due to another game (which me and my friends does) or just quits for an apparent reason shouldn't get punished just by not playing. My friend's and me included are pondering to play Elder Scrolls Online when our sub runs out. I don't want to pay a subscription just so our house won't get deleted. We plan to come back and keep experiencing a multitude of games. Keeping my subscription open just so I don't play it is ridiculous.

If you're not paying SE to play their game then you don't deserve to hold things from people who do. You can keep your characters, but anything past that you have no right to lay claim to it if you can't be bothered to have even the slightest form of commitment to an MMO.

Go play ESO if that's what you want to do, but guess what if you're playing ESO you can take a minute or two to log in to FFXIV if you're still subscribed and keep your home. That old saying "you can't have your cake and eat it too"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_can...ake_and_eat_it serves perfectly here, if you choose to stay and play ESO with your friends then you have to accept the fact you will lose certain things in another game you no longer feel the need to stay committed to. That's called life. You think Bethesda/Zenimax care about your house in FFXIV? They want your money and time just like SE wants theirs. You decide what is important to you, not being some guy that jumps ship because everyone is doing it.

I'm pretty sure if a house that you got in FFXIV is more important to you than the game itself you will not be staying as a longtime subscriber anyway, and even at that if the said house is important to you You WILL find a way to log on briefly to accommodate your possession.

You guys have no idea what's rough, I played Asheron's Call years ago when housing came available, guess what they charged you rent paid via in game items, it was due monthly. I lost that house and all items in it when I stopped playing. This is no different. You need to accept that something you cannot commit to should stick around waiting for you to return.

I can go back to Asheron's Call and play my characters and that is the sum of my enjoyment, not the fickleness of a home but the character itself I created. Turbine will never take that away from me and SE will never take your characters away, which should be more of a reason for you to enjoy the game than virtual bricks and mortar.

Keeping your house there while you're not paying your subscription is equally ridiculous.

You do realize the apples to oranges comparison your making right? Your character is a bit of code on a server that is only accessed when YOU log in. At no other time is it used or needed.

Your FC house is rendered every time someone walks by it, which is totally and completely separate from YOU being in the game. The contents of your yard, style of house etc is all needed pretty much all the time.

Just because you can say something you think is witty doesn't make it true or logical.

isn't logical? you would be pissed if they took your character that's the whole point. just because you don't care about something doesn't mean someone else doesn't they already said they will make more wards.

you're saying there is a difference between how much resources is used if 5 wards are full of active fc's to 5 wards of not active fc's?

they take up just as much when it comes down to it they are just taking them so they don't have to make more wards not because *you don't need it*

Being "Pissed" is not a fact of the situation. Your confusing your feelings with fact. Deleting a character and deleting a FC house are vastly different things, regardless of "feelings"

not at all. they are the same thing. you're taking something from the players.
