    Not aimed at you in particular, but if people just said 'I don't think 45 days is long enough' instead of dragging specific things like military deployment and illness into it then there would be a lot less arguments and people disagreeing with the whole situation.

    A player who is paying their subscription and is actively playing has just as much entitlement as a player who can't play because of uncontrollable situations and the sooner people realise this, the better. Just because someone can't play because of something unfortunate does not give them any benefit over someone who actually is playing the game and wants a house.

    I'm actually going to just leave this thread though since the OP's previous post kind of infuriates me. Can't believe people think it's okay to twist people's words like that.

    The only things that are twisted here are the words by the original posters themselves. Some horrible stuff has been said indeed.

    ...Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

    Getting into the slippery slope arena here...

    By this logic, anyone who has unsubbed or been inactive for 45 days can rightfully have their character deleted to reclaim resources for new character creation on a locked server.

    Technically, we are not entitled to any virtual asset in this game. Read the terms of your agreement if you believe differently.

    This is not a proper solution for the housing shortage. This is more like Eminent Domain run amuck because they can't/won't use the resources necessary to implement a better design to properly accommodate the demand for housing plots.

    Except the whole thing about 'cancer patients shouldn't care about their house' was completely taken out of proportion by the OP. The point was that if a player is ill to a certain extent, there are ways to log in and save the house. If a player is beyond that, and in a state where they can't even ask anyone to log in for them, their house would be the least of their concern. This is coming from a person who is sick themselves and has been in similar situations.

    I agree with you. It's a ridiculous way to 'fix' the housing shortage. But my entire point is that people shouldn't be bringing illness and other aspects into this just because they don't agree with the 45 day time frame. If people are going to bring those aspects into argument they will get argument back.
