A player should not have to go outside the game to lookup how basic functions work and most won't. The game has to be the one telling the player the rules and it has to do this at the appropriate place/time. Informing players about the demolition timer and the need to enter their house to reset it should be done when a player purchases a house. If the player forgets or ignores the warning shame on them but in its current state it is shame on SE.

SE sent an email and put a timer on the cooldowns list. That's more than enough, and anything they add on top of that is still going to get another layer of "why didn't they tell me when..." added on. If people are playing so little their house blows up, it doesn't matter what messaging square puts in the game, it'll get missed.

If anything, square needs to reduce the grace period so people start treating housing as what it is: transitory.

I agree with you 1000% but the OP did mention they didn't get any emails. That is a little odd to me but hey shit happens. Still doesn't excuse the OP for not knowing about the demo timers - yes I know it's not about the demo.. BUT had he known again... none of this would've happened- So yes I agree with you perfectly... I just want to add the system does fail from time to time so a little more checks fro mSE would be nice. But none of that will help stupid and lazy so again. SE can only go so far.. in this case it's still on OP for losing everything cause they didn't have the foresight to look this stuff up.

having a notification on a page you have to look for is not a notification.

it's not more than enough, it's bad.
