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.

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.
