I honestly think there needs to be a 60 day abandoned property limit on houses. Especially on high populated servers. If a home owner is offline for 60 days, the property is flagged abandoned and put up for resale. If they log back in after 60 days, they can go to the little guy and get their housing items back, but they are S.O.L. for the property. If you want to maintain ownership of the property: keep an active account and log in at least once every two months. This would definitely help with the turn over rate for home ownership, and reduce the need many many many wards.
