Frankly it is stupid cause when this came on stated clearly on the lodestone post starting the 10th day of 3.1 it will be 45day till a house was reclaim base on if the person or persons owning it were inactive then all of a sudden it made so SE throws in maintenance times to up their timers frankly they should of stuck to the post on lodestone it said no such thing so they had to such right to throw this in right after getting everyone hopes up

It's not like they're removing housing reclaim. You just won't be able to snag all the houses by doing a tiny bit of math (You have to do a lot more math, instead.) Though, being more clear in the patch notes would have been wise, yes, the 45th day is still several hours long. They've not technically broken their word until it's the 26th. SE seems to scrape in just on time to their deadlines, on occasion.

No but like me a lot of ppl got up early in hopes to snag a house that open up just to sit there wondering wtf going on to have to search through a dozen or so of crap to finally get lead here where then all of a sudden find out maintenance up the time so instead the 25th won't be till early morning the 26th so got hopeful get the time right since they don't or won't tell you and if you off by a hour or more you kiss your chance goodbye

Yep.... I've been sitting in front of the only house that I want for approximately three and a half hours now, waiting and waiting. . . Nothing yet. I'm fairly certain that this is going to end up being demolished during a time that I will be afk (since it is Christmas) and I will then have to wait until 3.3 (which probably won't even be until sometime in April or May if I were to guess) just to get a house. And then it's sad because I may not even like any of them. . .

I just can't understand how Square-Enix, who has made so many amazing games, and has resurrected this game and become so rich off of it can't just give the players what they want with housing. Is it really that hard? I guess it must be. . . Because if it's not hard, then they just really, really, really suck.

They've said several times that maintenance times won't count towards the 45 days a player's been inactive. I personally knew this days ago (but I checked this morning anyway because my family did xmas yesterday so I've got nothing to do today!) Think of it as... when the player's been inactive for 1080 hours of the servers' uptime, because the timers stop while the servers are down, that's when the house gets demolished.

o-e been sitting here for 5 hours now. Luckily I didn't miss Christmas day waiting, since I'm +13gmt. I am gonna give up in an hour, developed a stabbing pain in my eye >.>

I and a bunch of my FC have stayed up literally all night (we logged back in right after the maintenance) hoping to catch a large plot. We'll do our best to make it through but people have family things they have to go do today so it's going to be really tough for them. We've spent six months saving up money for this, so a lot of people are going to be really unhappy and angry if we end up missing our chance because of bad timing.

Yeah well we as paying users get no time added to our subs or get items/gil in return for when maintenance is going so we lose time ourselves so they got to right to get more

[Lilithium]

Like other folks, I've stayed up all night to try and stake a spot and get one of the possible plots opening up. I'm in a FC who is also camping out for a house. Both myself and our FC have been saving up gil and waiting for the plots to open for a year. Give us something solid for this initial wave of people, SE, because it's past 6AM PST and I don't see anything getting demolished. After having waited for over a year to get housing, between this or waiting until 3.3...neither are going to be very appealing : /

In 34 minutes, it won't be the 25th in japan anymore, if the houses aren't for sale by then, then their 45 day thingy was a lie....
(Unless everybody who has ever owned a house has come back online to renew their day thingy, and then stopped playing again).
If they have increased the prices substantially since they were first released, Ima freak. It would suck to wait for so long, then be off by 1mil.
