Okay, you have me there. I know a few people that are active military and even set up a special rank in our company for when they are deployed. There's no way to really address that with a month-and-a-week timer. But given the limited number of plots available there's really no good solution that won't inconvenience someone. If I had to log out for an extended time and had a house, I'd be upset at losing it but it won't push me to rage-quitting the game. I've had worse than that happen to me and I still kept playing (chocobo raising in XI, took a month off then had to spend another month nursing the poor thing back to health only to have it retired right after. >,< The feels...).
