Reclamation of Inactive Housing announced

[Nalien]

I think if SE wanted to monetize off Housing, they'd have treated it more like the extra Retainers... I mean, we have to pay real money for extra Retainers because server issues, and the problem with Housing? Server issues. The fact that they're not making people pay extra on their subscription for Housing speaks volumes IMO.

The notion that they'll now make us wait longer for content updates is utterly absurd, given how few can even own a House... They'll piss off 99% of their playerbase with longer waits between updates, just to shill the 1% that "has" to stay around to keep their virtual land? Utterly absurd... If they start doing that, I'll be the first one out the door, and I'll certainly not care about losing my plots if they're going to devolve the game to that level. Did Blizzard do something like this? I honestly don't know, I'll have to take peoples word on that, but World of Warcraft is hemorrhaging subscribers, I'd hope SquarEnix has a bit more sense than that...

Heck, even one off situations like 3.1s delay should be better after 3.1, I'm certainly looking at Sky Exploration (and Lord of Verminion) and seeing content that is much more apt for long waits than the same tomestone grind we've had since 2.0... Other than 3.1 though, Final Fantasy XIV has been pretty phenomenal with its updates. The notion that they'll copy Blizzard, when Blizzard has basically been castrating itself for the past few years is just absurd...
