Lost my House

[Kewitt]

My hubby lost our 1st house when I broke both my legs. I was in the hospital for 7 months.
We now both have houses.

Sadly it's a game and life is more important than the game.

Just know that more housing is likely coming at the end of the restoration.

Lost my house, had a nice spot in the Mist.

It is what it is. Now I'm camping a spot in the Goblet for my small FC. what goes around I guess

I like threads like these, they remind me to walk into my personal house once every month to not lose it. FC house is so much more useful. While I despise the system, I do feel it's needed though. But I do think SE is pushing a lot of the blame on the playerbase due to their awful implementation. I'm sure it sounded wonderful on paper, but look where we are now, and look how dead the neighborhoods are. On Crystal you practically have to schedule events to even see one other soul now. I've lost 2 other houses to it (got another 2 now, FC and Personal), and while I kick myself for losing it, I'm fully against deleting your items flat out after 30 days though. Data storage is dirt cheap, so yes, they should hold onto the items for a player when and if they return. The cost is so stupidly low. I'd still like to see them eventually introduce instanced housing, something that would be a tiny little zone just for you. Imagine being able to change the zone you're in, say, having a floating house in the Sea of Clouds like the Sky Pirates? Just wish personal housing wasn't so useless unlike FC housing. Mine rots now.

I think it's more of a problem of your items being stored on that specific lot, so storing your items indefinitely would only work if you got that exact plot back.

The problems is not the "sleeping" storage (HardDisk or Flash Disk) but dynamic memory (RAM). RAM is far more expensive. They need to load all the gardens for each ward. For these reasons, wards are probably some kind of persistent instance when instancied housing is active only when a player is in (and it needs pretty less dynamic memory since it is only one house).

Wards are some kind of Eureka were is need to load several indivdual gardens datas additionaly. It is pretty heavy for dynamic memory.

That's not the point. Not everyone is available to enter said house *every* 45 days. Life happens and the game gets sidetracked, and no one should have to return from whatever kept them away just to find their home and all the work and gil they put into it simply gone.

Apartments are for you then. They exist, can be decorated, and you never lose them. If you aren't planning to actually give your house much of an use to start with, you could just get an apartment.

No a paying sub should be the requirement. This entering the house stuff needs to go and the on/off demo timer which has been off almost as much as it's been on.

I disagree. Houses are limited and everyone who wishes to be active should stand a chance, especially when apartments do exist for people who don't want to enter their houses. Why not get one?

You can disagree all you like but I won't change my opinion of a system that is in need of fixing. If they are paying a sub then they are active. How and when i use my house is my business. If I choose to go on a 2 month vacation I should be able to without losing my house as long as I maintain my sub. At the moment SE agrees with the enter the house timer but there are many of us who don't.

The whole idea of the demolition timer in my opinion was to remove housing from those who have stopped playing the game and I have a friends list full of them.

If gardening with cross-breeding was allowed in apartments then I'd agree with you. But you need access to a garden to be able to do cross-breeding. Plus tenancies. Like sharing a house with my EB partner. The tenancies I'm willing to let slide a bit more, but the gardening aspect is way more limited in apartments than houses, and good luck doing cross-breeding in an apartment, it's impossible because the only indoor gardening furnishings are single node items. Since only 1 thing can be planted in them, you can't cross-breed. So thus apartmnents are not a viable option. Fortunately I'm on a very quiet realm so housing shortages aren't an issue here (at least in small houses, I even see mediums pop up fairly often). But it doesn't excuse the issues. In fact, I think on Balmung, even all the apartments are gone.
