Exception for Military Deployments, Extreme medical situations

[Stem]

I have been with a Final fantasy fan for my entire life. Also i have been with Square Enix for over 10 + years since Final Fantasy xi. I got Deployed and Lost 2 houses, mine and my Wife's She only plays the game with me. There should be some exception for military members. Not just come back and GM says I'm sorry for the inconvenience. This is insane especially for die hard fans to come back and find your house has been demolished. at least change it that if u pay the subscription fee you can still keep your home, but to log in every 45 days is attack on all military final fantasy players. If your fighting a war u can not LOG IN!!!!!!! Also if you have a medical condition and are hospitalized its unfair to punish people who have illnesses. This makes me not even want to come back because not only are there no more houses for sale all the wards are full. But also i can not get any of the hard earned gil i made back. THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR ANY MILITARY PERSON!!!!

There's pretty much no way they're going to make an exception. What they should do is change how the system works. Not getting any of your gil back is definitely the worst part.

This is just my personal opinion so take it at that.

I think it should be tied to your account status/activity/whatever you want to call it. In that not that you have to walk into your house every X many days or you lose it, but as long as your account is current and paid for you are ok. That way as long as you are paying for your account you could take a nice long vacation without having to care what happens to your little imaginary home. I mean you pay rent for your house/apartment in real life and you get to live there. So it would make sense that if you pay rent/game time in this game you get to live there.

Now if this really is how it works and I just slept through that detail then yay. I always thought you had to go visit your house within X amount of time no matter what (currently paying or no).

But keep in mind I am terribly sleepy if this makes no sense to anyone but me!

I have never understood why someone who continues to PAY for the game & its content loses it because they log on. I also think that Military members should have the option to suspend their game time & face no penalties. In the UK almost all utilities & services offer this option as it's recognised that military personnel are not in control of their deployment & are doing a wonderful service for the greater good. It's actually rather disappointing that SE don't offer this. Maybe worth getting a military support service to discuss it with them.

Just putting it out there....

Why did your wife just not log into both your accounts to save your homes? What happens with housing is well known by now. The information has been sent to you over, and over, and displayed on many websites and blogs. (Maybe she was also deployed).

I think it may be taking it a bit too far in saying this is an 'attack on all military final fantasy players'.

There's no feasible way for SE to implement a military exception. Either it's on the honor system, and everyone is all of a sudden military, or it requires a level of verification that would throw up privacy and and other hurdles for an international company.

But yes, reclamation should have been based subscription, not on entering the front door.

And tomorrow, everybody Signs up.



Jokes aside, how the h*** would you implement this? Just be common there is so much stuff being unfair in the world besides loosing a virtual house. I think you know this more than me.
But there are rules and systems in place, you surely can´t make everyone satisfied, so if it don´t fits you, find a way to fit it...

Assuming 45+ days of coma after an accident is surely nothing to calculate into a business plan, still people wake up after years and don´t have their lives shattered, they have friends and family who took care of their agenda...

The changes were made after i had already left. NO ONE KNEW ABOUT IT!! i just found out about it now when i came back and logged in to find everything gone. These changes did not exist 7 months ago before the deployment.

Alright, let's assume neither of you follow patch notes, or forum threads, etc. etc. Are you then telling us that in the time you were deployed neither you nor your wife could be bothered to check your emails? You would have both been sent notifications to the emails registered to your respective accounts.

I've known many a service member, and they almost always, at some point in a month, have access to basic internet for things like email. And, unless you're telling us that your wife was also deployed and didn't have email access there is no reason she would not have been informed about the decay timer counting down.

I have 1 Square Id that is connected to 2 ffxi handles and 2 ffxiv accounts so we can play at the same time for over 10+ years. I'm not sure how your comment helps the thread at all. Should i be punished because i am married. This isn't just about me!! I'm sure I'm not the only person who lost their online homes. The point is if you pay your subscription you should not lose any in game items. Also "deployments" to Europe and Japan are not Combat tours, and I am a Marine. I'm not sure who you know and what branch of service they are in, that allows them to play games and take all day to look at the dev threads and play with their email.
