[Skivvy]

I wish I could find it, but there's a great quote from Yoshi-P along the lines of "Your house will never be tied to your subscription in any way."

Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.

This was in October of 2013. They announced home demolitions in October 2015.
