HOUSING NEEDS TO CHANGE

[Solowing]

It's literally only you that's getting 'pissed off', and it seems entirely based upon your entitlement that your house isn't perceived as being diminished in any way.

And there is a way to address the issue of having both instanced housing and ward housing fairly.

Separate the idea of a ward plot and a house. Your current ward plot is your ward plot, the house on it is a separate entity. The demo timer is for the ward plot and only the plot. If the demo timer expires, you lose the plot, but your house gets transferred from the ward plot into a solo instance with all of it's furniture and decorations left as they presently are. Conversely, an instanced home could be seamlessly transferred from a solo instance onto a ward plot, if said ward plot is won through the current lottery system.

That's how you can have instanced housing available to all players and also actually improve the ward system, because then you wouldn't actually lose your house if the demo timer expires, only the plot it's on. If you want to maintain a ward plot then you have to contend with the demo timer system, so that all players who specifically want their house to be in a ward still have the opportunity to access the system. If you don't, you get to keep your house, but you only give up the ward plot.

I didn't ask you to move it and I don't want to move. I like it right where I am. But because I already have a plot, you're punishing me for lapsing a sub when someone else who just started wont forcibly be moved out of their location if they were gone for 6 months?

You are wanting to experience the ward plot, by holding me to its rules to kick me out of my ward location for being inactive so someone can take it. But themselves aren't inherently subjected to that rule because they don't already have a plot subjected to the demo timer.

You're unknowingly punishing those who already have by holding them to rules that others are exempt from their later join date.

If you want fair. Allow already established players the choice to turn off the demo timer to their plot. So I'm not punished for already having it.
