Auto demo is toxic as hell, and saying you want it back is just playing into the corporation's hands. They've got you mad at each other, instead of wondering why the megacorporation that tested cloud servers last year won't just give us instanced housing so everyone who pays a sub can own their own house like the game advertises.
Imagine how much more positive this game's community would be if people actually felt like they could just leave until better content came along, without losing important things tied to their account? For all of you who hate whiners and wonder why they don't just quit already? That's part of it. Those people would finally feel free to just leave, and you would never have to see them again. And for all the folks who want a house and can't get one? You'd have one under this system. The solution's obvious. Island sanctuary showed that the devs are able to at least get part of the way there, because with island sanctuary they gave every player in the game an instanced island with customizable furniture settings; basically an instanced mega-yard for every player. Cloud test servers showed that they can utilize servers that change dynamically, according to need. A lot of the pieces are there. But there's a "cost" issue to cloud storage implementation, so they won't do it. And they'll never have to worry about blowback from the community because you guys are out here busy being mad that people want to keep their shit when they quit for longer than 2 months. Bunch of tools tbh.
