Longer patch cycles should mean longer housing demolition timers

[Allegor]

I do agree the timer should be longer. With the way timers are set up, we can only really skip one month and then "have" to resub by the next if we want to keep the house. So much for a game that encourages us to take breaks.

That said, 16 weeks seems a bit too much. Theoretically you could login to do the patch, and then logout again without any consequences until the next patch, in which case you would be keeping the house hostage. I'd personally settle for, idk, 9 or 10 weeks.

I would take all houses being instanced to not have the silly timer anymore.
The novelty of it being in the world for others to walk up to and randomly find is not worth being forced to stay subbed to keep a house thats nearly impossible to get when there's no content to do

^Or this. Maybe make housing instanced but create a lobby where everyone can hang out, that way everyone gets a house without losing the neighborhoods.

90 days seems reasonable to me if they intend on keeping a demolition timer. That's 2x of current system.
I'd rather get get rid of it completely and embrace and implement an instanced version.
I was on the train "we need to keep neighborhood feeling" for so many years, but last I owned a house, it was barren, barely anyone is in the housing wards. I remember a time when they were busy, around arr-hw era.

The thing about insanely greedy ploys is that calling them out isn't going to stop it. They're laughing at you.

You need to bite the bullet and unsub.

I am logged in right now with a free login just to let my FC leader know they have my blessing to let it go.

I encourage you all to do the same. Let it go. Unsub. Your pixel dollhouse is not worth your dignity.

I'm not subbed, but I have a 3 month sub which expires in 2-3 weeks then I'm out. I "lost" my house a month or two ago, a medium in a desirable spot.
I won't re-sub for awhile. SE still gets my money for FF11 though, but that game is at least worth my time and entertaining.
