Can we get an Official clarification on housing Demolish timer (45 or 90?)

The reason why Plots need to be emptied is because of availability, so your comparison is completely useless.

Ok, I think I'll have to explain it with apples and oranges and cute drawings.

Ok, no.

It seems to me that you either don't own your own house (hence why you want this to be implemented in this way and why you don't know what owning a house implies and feels like) or don't really care about the one you own. So, I'm putting this into the perspective of "what if you were to lose something else that is very VERY valuable to you, that you put a LOT of work towards and that you would be terribly mad if you lost it for something like not subbing for a month". Forget the availability part for a moment. I know, I know it's the center of this issue, the reason why this system is being implemented, but I'm trying to make you feel some SYMPATHY for those who are gonna lose something very dear to them, for which they worked very very hard and for which they'll be so mad when they lose it for something as stupid as not being able to take a break from the game ever.

I must say, I was expecting something like this to be implemented, but not for such a short window as 45 days. It feels really unfair. I know it's unfair that you're unable to get your own house, but it's not MY fault either that the devs didn't plan the whole housing system better in advance. I would love for you to have your house too, but that doesn't mean it would be ok to pillage on mine if -God forbid- I skip subbing for a month.

My FC does own a house.
Btw, comparing it with a Zeta doesn't really work, I don't own a Zeta.

It doesn't matter how much you worked to get it, if you are not using it, you are just wasting something someone else could use better, and 45 days is nowhere near a short time.
Also 45 days != month.

As said, if you are not going to log in once every 45 days, then the house was not dear enough to you, and thus there is no sympathy to be had.

...Ok, I give up. People can't have any kind of sympathy around here. Just ravens waiting to eat on the people around them.

FC House, 2 Airships rank 50 2 others otw stuffed with furnitures worth tens of millions + a personal cottage for reasons. I port to each of those at least 3-4 times each day im on depending which is closer where i am atm plus i havent been in a city except for quests/leves/events since month

so - no, i don't feel sorry for anyone who looses their house if they unsub for 45+ days. Probably because im subbed since day one with 900 days on my veteran reward ;P

I can feel sympathy for those who will lose out, but I also understand the situation with the housing availability. Why should we care about someone who decided to stop paying? It's very obvious why SE wouldn't cater to those who decided not to continue paying. They are catering to their player base whom DOES still play. If you only wish to take a month break, that's fine. You'll still have 15 days to resub and enter your house once.

If you decide to go on a 2 month hiatus, say bye bye house. I have leveled my character from 0 to 52 WHILE sharing my account with my gf whom has a lvl 50 summoner and 6 different crafting/gathering classes in the high 40's all in about 2 month's time. Low and behold, I've been playing my heart out and still had to wait nearly a month with my FC on a LOW POP SERVER to find a house. So yes, call me a raven, I'm fine with it. I can't imagine the wait on a highly populated world if my low pop one is scarce in available housing. But people can easily get to a high level where houses are wanted/needed in the time frame it took you to come back from your "break".

I'm not sure why entering the house is needed frankly as long as you're a paying customer and subbed to the game. There are real life issues that can keep people away for more than 45 days and if they are paying the subscription fee they should be entitled to whatever it is they are subbed to.

[Sicno]

You're mixing up FC housing and personal housing. For FC houses if NOBODY uses the house for 45 days I can agree the FC is dead and the house should be relinquished for others to use. It's a different case when a single person can't take a break from it.

There are no RL issues that can cause a 45-day period where you absolutely CAN'T log in for like a minute, while able to pay a subscription.
And if you actually come up with something so drastic, then losing some virtual items should be the least of your concerns.

Oh I disagree and if you're a paying customer you should be entitled to whatever you're sub is paying for. Sorry I disagree cause there are some real life issues like military deployment, illness and more that can keep people away for more than 45 days. Why does entering the house need to apply if you're paying for the sub and the game.

[Lexia]

45 days is enough for grace period, if person can't be bothered to log in for least 2 minutes during that time frame then the house is not that important to them.
