Time on House removal/reclaming is way to short! (private houseing)

Believe me, there are military people that would still make the same arguments, though those are usually the one terms that realized that the military wasn't a free paycheck. But yes, as an active duty servicemember I can say it does suck missing out in something in the game but everyone gets over it. Missed out an a good chunk of WoW due to being in training for a year but it's still just a game.

I was in the army for 5 and a half years, recently got out. some training, depending on your unit, would go anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months, and larger exercises (like working with foreign military) could last longer. 7 people in just my platoon, including me, played. keep in mind, these time frames are not including deployments, which depending on branch could be 3 months to 15 months.

Thank you for your service. Truly. It is not that I don't have sympathy for the circumstance of military situations/circumstances. I just really don't like people who know nothing about it using it as an excuse to further their cause.

As for the 2 month exercise, I'm actually very curious what kind you are referring to. One of my best friends became an Army Ranger recently and it didn't even take that long. Was it technical based?

And what Kinsey stated is a good idea which I would be happy to back. I'm fine with allowing circumstantial situations get exceptions. I don't like how the people wanting a "break" from the game are using them to try getting more than 45 days.

You get all your non-rare stuff+ 80% of your gil back.

Not if you take a three month break. If you're away from the game for 80 days, everything you had in the house is deleted.

there is one in south korea, cant remember name of it, but majority of the military units there participate. there is also a few that are UN and local military forces, like germany as well (stationed in both areas at one point in my career) but most of them are the non special units, like regular infantry, communications, field artillery. one of the ones in korea, air force, infantry, and air defense artillery all participate in. i was in an air defense unit and ours lasted 6 weeks while i was there.

Mm, makes sense why I'm not familiar with it then. I know people doing pilot training (heli's and jets), artillery training, swo, subs, carriers, and intelligence. But none in air defense xD

how about stationed OCONUS?

[Malicewolf]

2 in Japan right now and 1 just went from Hawaii to Oklahoma for artillery for army (which ironically one of our mids who went marines is stationed there too). All others are in the states atm.

I think i see a solution. Unsub and lose your house instantly. This way you can sell ahead of time, getting back 100% of what you think its worth. If you want to keep your stuff, go inactive and fund the game, you want to drain resources? You gotta pay. Cant afford the 10quid a month while your pc/console is broke? Id re evaluate your monetary priorities before blowing it on entertainment

I'd accept that except for the word "instantly". The game doesn't tell us our subscription status, so the only way I know when a sub fee is due is that the next time I go to log on I can't. (It's weird, the character selection screen gives us useless info about our veteran reward status instead of actual useful info about our subscription.) At that point I go to my computer, log into MogStation, buy another three to six months worth, and come back and log into the game. I don't think it's ever lapsed for more than a day or two before I noticed, but there should probably be a couple weeks leeway for people whose subscription lapsed unintentionally to have a chance to put in their next payment.

i would say give a person at least 30 days, in some cases, there are just a series of unseen unfortunate events, at least this will give people a chance. (car and ps4 break down and in between jobs, like starting a new one, or even lost/stolen credit/debit cards) but yea, i do agree with that.

but worst case scenario, if they do take your house, and you have an active sub, you should be guaranteed your items and 100% of your gil. inability to log in may not always be your fault, and its clear to some extent they will try to log in later
