Extend auto-demolish

I wish the timer was 30 days. If you are not an active player, why take up housing that active players could be utilizing? Housing is not an infinite resource so it's necessary to keep inactive players from taking up some of the most valuable and popular content in the game.

SE is not responsible for concessions for the random players who have unforeseen circumstances. SE does have investment in it's player base as a whole and has this system for a reason. This is a "big picture" decision they've made rather than catering to individual entitlement.

forgive me, but i don't think someone wanting to go back to their house in the game after their own home was destroyed by a fire or something is "individual entitlement"

If their real life home was destroyed in a fire, they have much bigger things to worry about than what happened to a virtual house in a game. The virtual house is much easier to replace than what they've lost in real life.

Anyone who puts losing a virtual house on the same level of loss as a real home is someone who's never experienced genuine loss.

I doubt that would always be true. Especially in the case of someone who owns multiple houses and is grandfathered in. Or if you own a personal mansion, those aren't easy to replace. And if your personal emergency causes you to be away from the game for more than 80 days, you also lose all your furnishings as well, including anything seasonal or from the mogstation. Personally, if I lost everything in real life, knowing that I could eventually come back to my game and not have lost everything there too would be a small comfort. I understand losing plots since they are such a finite resource, but the vendor shouldn't lose all the furnishings (or should at least keep them longer).

yeah, how dare you want your life to go back to some semblance of normalcy after some kind of tragedy? i'm not saying it's even remotely on the same level - it's obviously not - but it's just another bad thing to happen to someone who just had a lot of bad things happen. once the dust settles and life has moved on, i'm sure they'd want to get back to the things they enjoy.

for the record, i do think the timer is an unfortunate necessity, i just wish it was better handled. keeping furnishings and gil from plots up to reclaim permanently, since they're not hurting anyone by being there, would be great.
