RENT: A Better Housing Solution

[MomomiMomi]

Things happen that make people unable to log in, but there are also people paying a subscription that want a house and would be online to use it.

And the solution to that is more houses. That's what you're paying them for, isn't it? For them to provide you the service you paid for.

They're adding more houses. That doesn't mean they won't be bought in less than a day on the populated servers. Unless they add thousands of houses, this is going to be a continued problem. The 45 days is fine.

90 days would also get rid of houses owned by people who are no longer playing, but would also ensure there's actually new content to play when you come back. It's just as much of a solution to the problem as 45 days is.

Yet doesn't cater to the players wanting housing at all and leaves them waiting for 3 months.

45 days, as it's only 45 more than the current system.

They're still waiting for a total of 3 months.. just because the 45 day system already exists doesn't mean they're waiting 45 days less. >_>

They are already waiting for 45 days. A change to the system means they will now be waiting for waiting for 45 more days. They already have to wait 45 so it's irrelevant.

60 days.
People who don't play for 1 month after a patch release don't really need a house.

Yet f2p MMOs do a better job of providing this stuff, and a longer period before losing your house, as well as not permanently losing your items if you're not back soon enough.

Is our situation because SE can't do better, or because they won't? I suspect it's the latter.

In those MMOs the housings are full instanced or the devs ignore ghost cities.

Also, instanced non-FC rooms are coming with apartments

Would be more acceptable.

I do believe LOTRO has neighborhoods, gives more than 45 days, and doesn't delete your items no matter how long you're gone (seriously, why is this a thing?). But feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
