Will inactive FC and unsubbed player plots ever be relinquished?

Why do you care who owns the property that you don't own?
If they are paying their sub fee... What the heck business is it of yours to decide "well, they don't log in enough... Let's take their stuff away."

Might be the most selfish thing I've ever heard here... No wait, nvmnd. I've heard worse on these forums, lol.
But it's close!

Think of it this way. IRL Until you pay off your mortgage, you need to pay off your house on a regular basis, depending on how you set up that mortgage. If you don't pay anything over a period of time the property is foreclosed and the bank, or owner of the land by all rights gets to take it without question since you owe them money.

In game yes we buy the plot in full, but the "mortgage" would be either having an active sub or being active over a set amount of time. If that set amount of time lapses you aren't "paying" that "mortgage" so the contents of the plot would be removed.

To add to that, depending on where you live the city can lay claim to your house if you let it rot for long enough becoming an eyesore to the community. To that extent if people don't keep up with their houses they lose them. Honestly if you put this to vote, I bet nearly 90% of the community would be okay with this, the other 10%? Imo they'd be out of their mind.

i've been wanting to bring this up for a while now but feel like people would just go meh this is a game game blah blah blah but this still rings true here. A permit can easily be issued in game for another house should you chose to renew your sub and log back on one day... yes you will not be able to get another house right off the bat because most will be bought out but lets be honest... why the hell are you even getting into something like housing (which is a long term investment of entertainment) when you get on and get off so often?
