Never Make Your Players Have to "Find the Fun"

[Purrfectstorm]

Oh and if you need to remember to enter your house so it doesnt get demolished... Maybe you don't need the house after all?

Let me guess, you're part of the player base who doesn't have a house? It sure would be great if players who aren't using their houses would vacate so the players who want the houses could put them to some better use, right?

Except for one thing, when you buy something, you're not just buying the thing, you're buying the OPTION to use the thing. Let's say that I don't use the house ever. But then one day, I want to plant some Krakka Root. Do you think I'll have a better chance of planting the Krakka Root if I have a house already or if I don't have a house? Would you rather be the player who has a house and doesn't use it (but could if they wanted to) or the player who doesn't have a house and can't do housing related things if you wanted to?

So, yes, I have to remind myself to enter my estate now and then. Even if I'm gardening every day, it's actually entering the house that stops demolition anyway. So I wouldn't assume I'm not "using" my estate just because I'm not using the actual building. I'm not using the actual house btw and never have. There isn't a single piece of furniture in it even after all this time.

I have a house, and I think if you have to remember to use it you shouldn't have one either. Let someone who will actually make use of it own it.

Using a house and using a plot are 2 separate things. Because of the demolition system, you have to have a house to keep a plot. Also, as I said in my previous post (which you clearly did not read) - I have a house for the option of doing things, which I have a right to have bought and to retain ownership of. A) I paid my sub and B) I paid my gil. No one has a right to my house or plot regardless of what I do with it because of the fact that I bought it and I own it. If they are left out and agitated, they should complain to SE. There is absolutely nothing wrong with people using their property the way they see fit. If I bought a flat screen TV just to smash it to bits, that might offend you, but it's my right. If you don't like what I do with my TV, buy your own TV, and if you can't buy a TV, complain to the people selling TVs, not to the people smashing them.

Cause it must be so hard to enter your house for 2 seconds when you already on the lot doing stuff with the garden.

I didn't say it was hard but jealous much? Jesus. This thread isn't about housing. It's not about how hard something is or how long it takes you to do it. It's about ALL THE GAME SYSTEMS THAT REQUIRE YOU TO DO X AT OR BY Y TIME! Stop being so pin-headed to focus on one thing. You probably don't have a house, don't hate on someone that does. It's a nice house too. I'll sell it to you for 100m gil mwahahaha!

Oh you not the one at the top of page 2 getting on the Lalas case about housing? Even though you most likely being sarcastic a GM could come down on you for you selling your house for "100m gil mwahahaha!"

Congratulations on detecting sarcasm. Achievement unlocked! As for a GM coming down on me, yeah good luck with that since a) I'm not really selling my house anyway (obviously) b) there is still no official word that house selling is a rule violation and c) I don't really care.

Well good luck to you trying to take on a GM if they happens cause SE will most likely back them up instead of you. People were making joke PFs saying they were selling houses when in fact they weren't or even had a house and were still getting warnings on their account.

I actually thought Diadem was fun personally. It was the communities negative attitude towards it that made it less and less enjoyable.

I liked Diadem for about 5 times, but after that I couldn't handle running it anymore due to how it was basically just beating monsters up for hours. That being said, I actually find HM pretty fun when there are two or so competent parties, since it's just the right amount of challenge.
