My absence and return - thoughts on demolished houses

[Geryth]

Who says it's a new player? I been playing since 2.2 and I never had a house because I cannot seem to amass the sum of gil required for one. Don't generalise it only to new players.

Either way, it's a system either one player gets their house demolished (the current model) and likely never comes back, or a system where a player who wants a house can't get one because they are all taken by inactive players. That's a design and technical problem, with a disastrous effect on their players. Player housing should have never been so limited to begin with.
