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

[SunAurel]

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.

Calm down, miqo'te.

I said I've never seen the issue, I've never experienced it, none of my friends have experienced it and it's never come up on my server at all.
I don't need to browse every board ever to be able to give my opinion, do I?


Why is everyone so angry all the time.

No, you just immediately dismissed the entire thread as "Smells like trolling to me."

How come you can have a, frankly, bias and dismissive opinion, but when I call you out on it, suddenly I'm angry? You're entitled to an opinion. Just as I'm entitled to challenge it.

If this is really a problem of timers going sideways, we're only going to be seeing more of this. The fact retainers seem to be affected as well worries me even more.

They stopped NA/EU last year when there was a disaster (Florida I think, excuse this European not keeping up to date with the news). Though I'm a little surprised they haven't stopped them in NA due to the California fires.

yeah, I think it was for Hurricane Irma that they suspended it. But it gets even better. The California wildfires due to the heat... EU has been getting them too. There was one about 30 miles from where I live. Took the firefighters 3 weeks to be able to douse it completely. And that's just one part of England, they've been rampant throughout Central/Eastern Europe IIRC too.

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.

Should just stop it every summer. We have wildfires here pretty much every year.

Or better yet, finally accept the housing system they have is silly and embrace instanced housing for all players as a permanent purchase. You know, a thought sprinkled with some seasoning of reason.

So do we in Europe but isnt the wildfires really bad this year?
