The OP literally said they use it. I myself have been half on break from the game and only logging on for raids. My house is still decorated, when I afk somewhere it's in my garden. I still use the house and they presumably would once they get more into the game again will also use the house more.

God forbid you detach a bit from the game. I really dislike this in general with housing, but at least I can relax a bit for a while again with auto demo off.

Ultimately they are responsible for losing their house, if they cared more they would have walked in like I have been doing for mine since I got it years ago. But it's understandable for them to be upset and wish the notification was more visible in game for something so hard to reacquire. Tbh this thread just reads like some jealous jerks enjoying someone else losing something they don't have. Like, "Because blaming SE is a waste of textspace and your personal time"...what? It literally is their fault, not the players, that other people do not have their dream plot. It does not give the green light to instead be nasty to someone asking for something so innocuous as a pop up notification in game.

One of my static members has 2 medium houses, he decorated the gardens and neither one has the interior decorated. One he has had near 2 years, the other more recently gained. Another friend has a small house, garden not really touched but the inside has all the trophies from extremes etc. People use their houses in different ways, if all they want to do is sit and feel smug at having one for a minute they paid the sub to do it. You might not like it but they have as much right to the house as anyone else. Take it up with SE for not having better instanced housing options or wards with more mediums/larges etc.
