    Personal Housing needs to get instanced. Otherwise no matter how many inactive accounts you nuke the problem will be the same as it was.
    I don't disagree, but as I mentioned earlier considering the amount of time/resources/etc. that went into the current housing system it's highly unlikely that they will re-work it. I wouldn't mind seeing restrictions put on future M/L houses so that only FC's could buy those.

    My solution is you lose the plot after a long time of inactivity but get the stuff you had in it back at an NPC and at least half of the gil that was required to purchase it.

    What effort? They introduced the FC housing system and everything worked fine. They spoke and hyped up personal housing for like half a year, and what did they do? Did they actually "Work" on a system? No they didn't they made it so a individual can purchase a house the same way a free company could. There was no effort put into personal housing, they painted themselves into a corner where they made promises they couldn't keep and istead of owning up and saying.

    "Hey this personal housing thing is going to take longer than expected and may be different than what we promised" They just slap a button and call it a day.

    Until SE decides to make personal housing available to all instead of a lucky few, every issues they resolve with the curent housing system is just making the proper solution more complex over time. I may sound a little blunt but I hate when people try and fix a broken thing when the proper solution is to do it right from the start and not keep putting bandaids onto a broken system.

    Good.

    As someone who owns a house all to themselves, I think they should have a system where your house gets taken away if you don't play for a couple months.

    With housing as it is, you're essentially buying a small part of the server to do with as you please. If you don't even play the game, it's only fair someone else gets to use that part of the server.

    (It'd be nice if a partial gil refund was mailed to whoever lost the house though, but seeing as how it'd more likely be someone who has quit and just isn't coming back, I don't blame them if they don't do that.)

    Didn't realize there was a thread already. It's good to know they are working on it.

    I agree with, at minimum, a customizable Inn room. Basically to, as said earlier, open up some of the content to people without houses.

    There's really no reason to not do this.

    meh, just knock the empty houses down and build flats as they do in the UK.
    A penthouse would suit me fine
