I suppose it's worth adding, while I wasn't playing as actively as I should have, there's honestly no way it could have bee 45 days. I've literally only been gone less than 4 weeks, and distinctly remember logging into my house just before my move, and I *think* I'd even ran around my house just after the move.

I mean, it could have totally been like 3 weeks (and to be fair, I actually thought that *was* the auto-demo timer), but definitely not 45 days. It's actually impossible.

There's obviously nothing that can be done now, someone else has won the plot. But I would probably say, I do think the devs may want to double-check how their "timer" works, because clearly something wasn't working as intended. Maybe because I wasn't "interacting" with anything in my house, just running around it. I spent way more time *around* my house (outside), and since there's no notification on log-in to *enter* your house, I guess I just forgot to actually *enter* my house.

To be honest, I do kind of wonder why they don't just let people keep their houses merely for staying subbed. I'm honestly probably going to quit, and it's directly over losing the house. It's not a *lot* of money, but that's still one sub they're probably going to lose.

Either way, definitely still really down about it. I poured so much time and effort into getting the gil and buying all the items, and I just really *loved* my house. Especially the dedicated "Holiday" theme, I'd honestly thought about trying to decorate it for each of the major holidays (mainly Halloween and Christmas), and it definitely brought some amount of joy, just logging in and admiring my place, or seeing the journal comments from others who liked the place, too.
