Currently it doesn't do the latter very well at all.
It takes all of two seconds to port to your house and walk inside. Why no one would do that to begin with in a 45 day span is beyond me - this isn't even "wanting to but can't", it's "I literally couldn't be arsed to take two seconds to walk into the home that means so much to me it'll make me quit if I lose it".

I agree the demo system shouldn't be necessary, I wish it wasn't.

I agree perhaps there could be more easily-accessible reminders or notifications about the demo timer in-game, instead of needing to sift through housing menus or wait on the magically-disappearing emails from SE about it.

I agree with all these points.

But in the end, it was still entirely on you for not having even the faintest idea of the demo timer. I also find it extremely hard to believe that even in-game, talking to friends, no mention of a demo timer ever came up whatsoever. That's one of the biggest complaints from this game's community. It is almost impossible to go about your life in the game being blissfully unaware of the fact it exists at all, let alone how long it is.

Also, again - if you can't be bothered to even go into your super-important-omg-I'll-quit-if-I-lose-it house within 45 days, of which you have plenty of time to be doing events and the like, then you do not need that house in the first place.
