Free login campaign for the whole of December! Yay!

I bet my gil that this was all planned. First wag a finger. Then give them enough time to hear what will happen with their houses.
And then let them log in for free and raise the subs for a nice announcement. "FFXIV has now... mil subscriber..."
Who cares for existing subscribers? We have shown SE already that they can count on us...

Nothing wrong with that, except for the timing.

The housing reclamation has raised the hopes of people who were looking for a house, our FC has been working and saving in the expectation that housing would be available.
Now those hopes are being dashed. Inactive players who have not been supporting the game can come back and keep the houses they have not been using, possibly for months. While those of us who have been subbed but unable to buy a house get nothing.

If Square had announced any other measures to help relieve the shortage of housing, I wouldn't be here complaining.

Same for my lil FC we saved up for a Med + a bit more plot once all those "we never log in but have a house" people lose their rights and now... 75-99% of the plots will still stay on ownership
Thats a difference of 20-25M to buying from other players on 50M... not quite something we reach soon after we thought plots will open up and stopped saving up >.<

Same for us.

We have saved 31 million gil (29 mil of it is my own that I personally saved from march of this year until now without any gathering or crafting skills.)

now SE has decided to screw us paying subscribers....AGAIN!!!

So pretty much we will have to wait until after patch 3.2 for housing to be freed up due to this free login thing in December

Looks that way.

I wouldn't count on it. There could be another campaign at some point before then.

Oh I'm sure they'll do this at least 1 more time...

[Nekodar]

Isn't the reclamation timer reset only if the person that can reset the timer is actually subscribing? Meaning free login campaigns won't affect the timers?

[Lexia]

Looks like housing isn't going to be freed up anytime soon.

Yes some houses will be reset cause some that don't have a sub will long in but remember there are other people that have said that they can't be bothered in for 2 minutes to save a house. So not as many houses will free up but there will still be some.

[Nekodar]

Even if the reclamation timer can be reset with this free login campaign, all it means in worst case is that some plots will not be freed up for another 45 days.
Most "abandoned" plots are still likely going to be freed up as expected.
People that stopped playing are not likely to going to enter this one login campaign period just to screw up things and then disappear again.
