    When someone states that they got the housing through transfer (which is only necessary if you cant get houses through regular means) that quite hints that this was done while the rules were active. And SE can and should look into such cases and see when these people got their houses and if they used an unintended loophole (because SE only wanted us to own one FC and private house per world and account) then they are going against the wish itself that was stated through these rules and should be punished. And after that they could finally go and state that the rules are back and anyone getting more no matter how they did it will get their houses taken away. Would be quite simple imo.

    About maintenance: How about we create a situation where something like housing which has quite some options and items behind it, is there for everyone? Instead of going around and punishing the housing owners for SE "great" idea of making it not instanced..I am also quite sure that those that missuse the system are probably those that wont be hurt by such a fee or will just use RMT or botting to get enough Gil for it. While you will hurt anyone who just really wants to own a house for their own reasons. Increase the price of each plot when you buy it but let it be all..another fee will just split the people even more and we house owners are already forced to sub and go into the game every 45 days to keep it so we cant just take a longer break without losing that..

    And lets not forget that everyone has a different view on what a good fee would be...make it too low and its nothing but a unnecessary second step to owning a house and make it too high and this would take many people away from it and maybe even just create another rage in the community. What if you own a house, are fine with the idea but suddenly they chose a fee that is way over the price you can pay? What if you are on a server that has a bad economy? How are these people making the necessary Gil? What if you are on a server with known bots that destroy markets? A fee just further protects SEs decision to make this not instanced.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    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.
