Automatic Home Demolition is Resuming!!

[rainichan]

The autodemo timer exists because the limited ward housing system is not a scalable system which can keep up with increasing server populations.

It exists because the players asked for one as well. Can you imagine what the complaints would be like if they didn't implement an auto-demo of houses? People who haven't logged in for 8.5 years still having houses? Yeah.

Yes, it's indicative of a bigger problem, I won't contest that because I agree, but for all the "Yoshida walked back his auto-demolition promise" it was needed.

I've heard from multiple people within the FC that they (and I'm sure many others) had ways of avoiding the AFK timers and were holed up in their private apartments. I have no idea what that method was but it did happen.

3rd party tools. Plenty of people boasted on Reddit that "it won't matter, I'll still stay logged in because I have a script that'll spoof the system that I'm active at my keyboard with key clicks and it'll automatically log me back in if they kick me out." Same people, same jerks. You can call them like they are, it's fine.

This is good, although it would have been nice to let people take up abandoned houses before the holidays. It's fun to decorate when there are less other things to do in game.

The very first auto-demo was done on Christmas lmao. Merry Christmas to XIV players, some got houses that day.
