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

[Nicobo]

imo if NOBODY in your ENTIRE fc accesses your house in 35 days, I don't see why it should bother anyone that you loose that house...

I really don't get anyone who doesn't support this move. If your FC has no one getting on for over a month, it doesn't deserve to have one either. If your not playing to support the game or even play it, then you don't need a house...

Not really sure why people are having a problem with this. If you're not playing the game why does it matter if you lose the house? 35 days is a lot of time...

So in order to maintain system consistency, clearness and fairness.

Please simply delete all charcters have not logon for n days.

A FC is auto-deleted when all members are deleted, and the house will be deleted upon FC deletion.
I am sure no one will concern house auto-deletion then.

some people just want it all for the sake of it XD.. even if they stopped playing the game for months. If SE allows more than 35 days, most FC houses would be ghost houses like they are now. Imagine that in 1 year. SE would be holding empty wards for nothing. Just a couple of busy FC in each and all the other ones empty. I don´t think it´s fair when the wards are limited. They fix the limited amount of wards or they clean it monthly. Just that simple. Nobody wants wards used by only 1 person each. lol

FFXI used to retain the right to purge your account if it was inactive for 3+ months. Data storage isn't so much of an issue as 5-7 years ago, and burning bridges like that isn't really a good idea anymore.

Unlike a character, a house has nothing to do with gameplay progression, and apparently uses quite a bit of server capacity. The main complaints in this thread are people who are solo/small FCs with folks who apparently take 35+ day long vacations from the game and want to retain rights to their house, or a fat refund if it does get recycled. However SE decides to handle inactive FC homes, let it be a feature be enjoyed by active players.

The flaw of your logic is that characters that are inactive for long periods of time aren't occupying space that could be used by people that actually play the game.

Like I mentioned (and you completely ignored) what exactly is the answer? Keep unused houses up forever? So eventually we might end up with full "ghost wards" occupied by people that left the game years ago?

[Estellios]

They should just get rid of the house in 35 days but give the FC master an untradeable item that lets you claim and build on land of equal or lesser value than the one that they lost so gil doesn't return to the economy and people don't have to lose their hard work. I'm of the mind that this stuff shouldn't be for anyone to have as their own private house since this is meant for groups, but the amount of time and effort that goes towards the house is substantial and no one deserves to have that taken away from them.

Just to save the lazy people who didn't even read the thread, most of the people against the deletion DO NOT want the houses to remain there, we just want a way for both sides to come out the tunnel without a side being boned completely.

Suggestions were given such as a consolation deed to be transferred to the Company Chest with/without the furnishings. This way, the land will be freed and the absentee FC's members' effort/money/real time will not get wasted.

And instead of just pointing and flaming to those "small FCs", give a suggestion to help them, or better off, to help both sides.

Then they shouldn't have a problem with instead of deleting the house, put it back up for sale and the person who bought the house gets the gil back if they return.

Because simply that's robbery, buy something then waste 2-15-60 mil on a house and get nothing back for wasting that much gil

[Dano]

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.

while i agree with you, i haven't set foot in our FC house in more than 3 months now lol

Inactive chracters occupying the most valuable unique resource - character name.
There are many requests of chnaging character name, name space would be a issue later.

By deleting inactive characters>the FC and the house, there will be no unused house.
