Pushed to quit after 1,860 days subbed

[Raskbuck]

It was never a secret, and if you were invested as you say you were, you would have known about it.

I'm sorry you lost your house, I really am. I wish houses for everyone.
But to say that there was no notice of the system in place, is just asinine. It was in patch notes. It's been in the games. It's been all over the forums and other media from others who don't read these things. If you're going to say that you are heavily vested into playing the game, one would reasonably ascertain that you've known about this non-secret.

However, that all aside, it sounds like the house wasn't terribly that important in your day-to-day activities within the game. You seemed to have had 1800~ days without it just fine.
Why not keep playing and enjoy as you were? There's a lot more out there for you to do!

Oh, please. Implying that OP should've known about it is completely missing the point of the thread. There have been several reports of housing e-mails not working the way they should, despite SquareEnix claiming otherwise. As it is right now, the system is very unfriendly in notifying you when your house is going to get demolished. First off, the timer that should notify you doesn't even appear unless you're a couple of weeks away from demolition (now that's asinine). Secondly, there's no in-game mention at all if your house is approaching that time; no popups, no in-game mails, no notifications, nothing. You have to hope that the automated e-mail they send isn't lost in the void.

Even if you end up losing your house, you should at the very least be able to recover your items at any given time. Housing is great in this game, but as it is right now, they are holding you and all the time you've invested at ransom to keep the subscriptions up. It seems disingenuous, to say the least.
