Housing afk

[Atoli]

We have lots and lots of truly abandoned housing on our server. It's not about people not being around, it becomes obvious when for over a year they had dead plants in their garden, a dirty stable, still have the decorations from an ancient seasonal event up, NOTHING ever changes either outside nor inside the house, and if you check out the player who is holding the rights to it on lodestone, their last achievement update has been from over a year ago too (yes, I'm that kind of stalker).

Swap 'stable' for garage, and this sounds worryingly like my house IRL...

Haha
For your sake, I hope at least the "no new achievements in over a year" part isn't true ;>

To be fair though, once most people color their chocobo, they don't really use the stables as much, so it just stays that way and taking my fc house for example, we use it a lot, but our outside/inside have been the same for about a year, with maybe 1-2 things different and that's about it, mostly because it's what the fc likes and theres only so much furniture. Not to mention the restriction of 20? items outside really limits what you can do.

Tbh, in a couple of months when the people who don't have houses now, have one, I can see those people turning around complaining about the 45 days, just like current people with houses are now, more so the fact that content gets stale incredibly fast and as many people have said, it's going to force people to sub every month to keep their house, even if theres no content but expert to do. Which we'll be right back to where we are now, people subbing, walking into their house, then logging off for the month, followed by people whining and complaining they don't have a house.
