Two reasons why an eviction system is INEVITABLE.

[Nyxs]

And why should private home owners lose their homes just so FCs can have one? We worked hard and paid money for ours just like a FC would. I think you need to rethink your idea.

[Kaiser-Ace]

just an idea

get rid of private homes and make them into larger ones for fc's, make private rooms bigger and with gardening avaliablity and separete permissions controlled by the person who bought the room

allow a minimum time before applications to a FC are automatically acepted this would allow ppl to join a dead fc and revive it see next point

automatically promote to a special rank (when leaders of a fc have been inactive for a certain period of time) that is able to carryon leading a fc without destroying what has previously been made ie can only add or move items in a fc house

all the ppl who currently own a house is given a refund of the amount they paid for the plot all items are avaliable from one of the npcs

I Agree with Nyxs, this idea takes up far to many resources AND is completely unfair to every one involved both FCs AND Non-FCs since many FC members with their own homes would have them taken despite being in an FC. I go as far to say as this is a worse Idea than the current model since it fixes nothing, would cost insane amounts to execute, and punish everyone while rewarding nothing not even the effort involved.


tl:dr V
Doing this idea would be corporate suicide for the development team.

ok bad idea was just throwing in something different

Not blaming you for trying just pointing out how that's a logistic nightmare. Feel free to keep working on the ideas though. Unless we figure out how something won't work we'll never figure out what will.

I also apologize for being a little more critical than I intended to be.

Even though I already own a house, I'd consider buying in just to ensure that I'm part of an active community instead of the ghost town my current subdivision is

As for your premium houses: they need to be bigger and better, with more facilities and more content than regular housing. Then again, I have a feeling that's not what you want. No, I bet you'd throw a hissy fit if that got implemented.

Clearly I'd throw a massive hissy fit, one rivaled only by monumental hissy fit you've thrown in this thread.

I'm done here.

Later Kataz, was a pleasure coming up with new and semi-original Ideas together. /Serpent Salute.

Don't panic, it won't be long before you can buy a house from the cash shop

I'm on balmung. I would do it in a heartbeat. x.x I'd prefer I not have to, though. Stare at a lot of houses held by inactives.

[lordoftheapes79]

Really they need to reevaluate the house size ratios and not just add carbon copies. Apply them on a sever by server basis and add in property taxes. Have them withdrawn automatically from the fc chest, once an inactive fc's coffers are empty, give them 30 days to come up with the gil or loose it. If they're caught buying gil to pay it they loose it no matter what.

Why do they deserve it any less? The re minority here is the extreemly vocal "I cant buy a house so give me theirs" faction.

When the idea of plot reclamation was announced nearly 100,000 players got up at once in protest. At best your whiny self entitled faction is in the hundreds. At the time I didn't have a plot myself and was still opposed to it. Still am even after inheriting my guild and its plot.

So what do a few hundred whiners matter compared to tens if not hundreds of thousands of subscribers that oppose the verry thought?

Even the LS members that are plotless want a real and permanent solution rather than the reclimation idea because we're all smart enough to know it's a new problem that's attempting to fix an old one. Time and money would be better spent finding a permanent solution than doing patch jobs that fix nothing. And the devs apparently agree since they are doing just that. Looking for a REAL solution.

It's more deserving to those who are actually continuously playing the game because one, they are benefiting the server costs with their money more so than someone who hasn't logged in/given SE any money for 6 months, and two, it's a server based content that is locked and isn't your personal belongings on the level that your inventory is.

Housing isn't like inventory in which everyone has one, housing is limited and really selective on who has the money first before someone else does and pulls the trigger on this limited selective content. If someone doesn't login for 6 months, or even permanently quits, they are essentially holding this specific server's content for ransom and that content could be locked away permanently if they never come back.

It's much more logical to appease the people who continuously play than those that don't. With a system that'll relinquish land within a certain time frame of inactivity, it raises the chance people will actually utilize this content and more people have a chance to enjoy it without there being any actual flaw. If one cares about their house, they simply need to utilize it within the time frame. This is a game with servers with limited space, it's better this way.

If you're fine with waiting until someone's house will be demolished then why can't you wait until new wards launch?

As regarding to "I'm more deserving", what if old player was subbed for 1 year and you're are subbed for, let's say, 3 months?
