About the freeze on automatic land reclamation system...

[Canadane]

NO that would defeat the purpose of the system cause everyone would just turn it off.

I think you've misunderstood the idea.
Turning it off would allow your house to be relinquished. She suggested an option to turn off the freeze, not an option to turn off the relinquishment setting.
Nobody wants a non-player keeping their house forever!

Perhaps I did but I doubt SE going to take the time to do that.

[Canadane]

Yeah, I also don't think it'll become an option either.

[Knahli]

In Lexia's defence, I understood it the same way.

In any case, while the intended(?) meaning does sound quite reasonable and desirable, I must also admit that I don't see it as a possibility. Adding such an option would have to arrive with 3.5 at the earliest when the freeze will likely be lifted anyways, but more importantly, it basically condones the idea of claiming refunds on your home which was not the intended idea behind the reclamation system in the first place. If they were going to consider this line of thinking then they'd more than likely simply allow an option to manually relinquish the plot while still claiming a refund since the Freeze is only a temporary measure, regardless of the possibility of it being further extended.

[Nihility]

the whole thing is the 80% refund is not supposed to be a desirable thing.
It's meant as a consolation for having land taken away because you were away from game too long.

making it easier to get something your not supposed to want to begin with is kind of counter-intuitive

[Niqote]

Since some people are either confused or not reading...
This is an option to turn off the EMERGENCY system for those not effected. Not to turn off the reclamation system in general.

And I did very clearly say Perhaps if it is used in the future, since common sense dictates we will not get the option any time soon.

So! To recap the points are;

1. Can we please have the emergency system improved for the future
2. Can we please know if the number of inactive days on our current homes will resume countdown, or if it will start again from 45 days.

Something that makes me uneasy about this whole deal of reclaiming houses and the current freeze on the timer is that there are lots of people around the world playing who may be subject to situations outside their control which would make them unable to play for a long period of time. Sickness, natural hazards happening on a smaller area not being covered by worldwide media, etc. In none of those situations they would halt the timer. I wonder, if another natural disaster was to happen here in Chile, for instance... would they freeze the timer too? If they didn't then that would mean I'm a 2nd class customer to them.

[Nicobo]

That is too complex!

Please simply add a reclaim now button! ^^;

You are. Sorry, but just something you have to accept, or not do business with them.

This is not true.
At the first place, some houseless complained no house to buy, they didn't accept they were late or lack of foresight, or not do business with the housing,
and keep complaining and eventually we have this great reclaiming system. ^^;
