PSA/ALERT: Houses are getting demolished when they shouldn't. SE needs to see this!

I don't think that's true at all. It's a old meme at this point that SE only cares about JP community.

They stopped housing demolition for the japanese data centers a few weeks back because there were some natural catastrophes affecting the islands again and it's still suspended. I remember a few threads popping up with 'NA/EU also have to fight with forest fires etc. right now why do we not get suspension of the auto demolition'

and no I don't think it's a stretch to say that SE listens to its JPN homebase more than their international audience. After all they design content (like Eureka: Pagos) for the way the jpn audience played Anemos, which was miles different than we did with the FATE Train.

When they stop the auto-demo timer, they stop it for all datacenters at the same time. And they have stopped it for natural disasters in both Japan and NA.

Elemental, Gaia, and Mana only. Those are the Japanese Data Centers and it is still suspended. I would not be surprised if they somehow made an error in their coding and the other data centers were affected by this in some way. If that's the case and it does not count when we enter our hourses since July 31th then we will all lose our houses in a few weeks

Hmm, wasn't even aware they had paused the demo timer again. I know when Japan had that big quake in 2016, they paused all the timers. And when the Gulf got slammed by those hurricanes earlier this year they paused it across all data centers again. This is only the what, 3rd time ever they paused? Maybe because the flooding is more localized they opted to only pause the timers in the areas most likely to be impacted.

I took a break from the game in July. If that was the case then my house would already be vapor. (It's not.)

If this is a thing, it needs to be fixed asap. However, I haven't seen anything concerning it but hearsay and highly suspect reddit posts so forgive me if I don't jump into the whole "the sky is falling" routine right away.

I've seen a number of houses go up for sale this month alone.
Perhaps not absolute confirmation, but the idea the demolition timers are still ticking for Primal seems to be on.
