Housing plots need rent. Sound horrible? Consider these facts:

I'm all for a system that kicks people out of their house for inactivity. You don't need rent for that. Maybe take away housing from people who've been unsubbed or inactive for three months. The devs were planning on implementing system(as you probably know), but the main problem with their system (IMO) was they were only going to give us 35 days. That is WAY too short, and I understand why so many people complained. Needs to be longer so people can travel or go on vacation without loosing their house. lol

Then just continue to sub on your vacation or travel, problem solved.
