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

Being sick shouldn't be a reason to lose ones house in a game. The fact that you have more real issues to worry about shouldn't be a rational for losing anything if you're taking the time to pay a sub for a game. Perhaps if you had a serious illness you'd understand but I don't suspect you do (at least I hope not). I just find this concept of having to enter the house physically to be a bit odd if you're a paying customer you should be entitled to whatever your sub fee is paying for.

I think the main issue here is to try and deal with those who have stopped subbing and reclaim their housing given they aren't in fact using it and it should be made available for others to use instead.

No, I do not have an illness which would prevent me from logging into the game for 45 days in a row. I will say, if someone was in a coma for 46 days, I would feel REALLY bad for them. But otherwise, I cannot think of any illness's that would prevent a 45 day gap that wouldn't also be cause for simply not coming back at all. Even someone going through cancer and chemo would be able to log on (as they don't simply keep you in the hospital forever from illness). IF you had a highly contagious disease, then you'd be quarantined, but once again, doesn't mean you can't access the internet and play. For those cases, they are quite accommodating usually.

Just because you pay, doesn't mean you play. There are also simply people who have a lot of money and just let accounts continuously auto repay subs for a while before they finally cancel it. Honestly, I wouldn't care if they gave more time, but nor do I think 45 days is too short of a time period. As I said, I've gone through all pre-heavensward content in about 2 months time. There are still people joining this game as new players who are looking for a spot to call their own. Yet, we have some with multiple that visit it once every 3 months that are complaining? If you REALLY want your own space, why not just buy a private room in your FC house? If you say "because I want more space to decorate", then ok, sure, that's fine by me IF you actually intend to utilize it.

You have 80 days essentially. 45 to not lose ANYTHING and an additional 35 to collect up the remnants if you couldn't visit once in 45 days.

You've never known anyone with cancer or going through cancer treatments. There really are some things that will prevent you from being able to log in, even for two minutes, just because it hasn't happened to you yet doesn't mean they aren't legit. The people who do know are the ones saying that 60 or 90 days wold be a better time frame.

Yes you might not want to be on for long periods but it does not prevent you from logging in for short amount of time, I have been down that path of cancer and the treatment.
