If no one access a FC house in 35 Days you lose everything! Coming Patch 2.3 ><

[farlis]

I support the reworking of this. I have a small FC of about 10 people of those 10 only 3 of us still play. Me and the cofounder worked hard to raise the 20m or so to get the medium to be gone for a month and have all that hard work and gil washed away is a slap in the face

[HeroSamson]

That is a load of crap, if that happens they should pay back the person who put that amount of gil into the house.

That is a lot of gil to be spending and furnishing and stuff.

especially 300k more for private rooms and then if you are gone for 35 days say a vacation and basically nobody decides to log in or something bad happens where servers are down for a bit like that quake that happened you basically screwed.

I mean if this is true, then it's very very clear this is a waste of time and money to even put time and effort.

I would much rather them put a for sale sign up and if it gets bought up by someone else then I get my gil back.

cause losing it for all the work you done for that gil and losing something you bought kinda sounds dumb.

imo if NOBODY in your ENTIRE fc accesses your house in 35 days, I don't see why it should bother anyone that you loose that house.

I mean why should SE dedicate resources to fc housing that has been abandoned, when they could reuse that house and that server space to give that plot to a group that actually uses it.

The only time 35 days would be inappropriate is if the servers were down, but its unlikely the servers will ever go down for over a month unless something catastrophic happens.

I really don't get anyone who doesn't support this move. If your FC has no one getting on for over a month, it doesn't deserve to have one either. If your not playing to support the game or even play it, then you don't need a house.

At most I would say maybe some of the money refunded but the house shouldn't just be a figurehead crowding space on the server either.

And I really don't get how it affects you in anyway? You don't work for SE. And new housing wards will be released over time anyway, so it's not like in game space is an issue.

So basically when private housing comes out

[Nakiamiie]

If nobody has accessed the FC house between patches (about 3 months), the house is marked for deletion.
(mogmail sent to the members and the icon becomes red on the map)

Then, after 35 days, it is deleted.

It would make more sense for smaller FC with people going on long vacations or short hiatus while still preventing dead houses to clog wards.

Well the OP for a start jumped to the wrong conclusion from the post. so I copy pasted to reiterate:

after patch 2.3 we’ll also be looking into adding a feature so when free company members haven't accessed their house for 35 days (Earth time), their house and land will be automatically forfeit in order to free up the land

The OP stated coming in 2.3, where it was posted after 2.3. the OP stated it WOULD be coming, the quote states they will look into adding the feature, not that they are definitly adding as such.

Nowhere in the quote does it say it will come with 2.3 and nowhere it states that it will be definite. People should really learn to read in proper context before jumping to incorrect conclusions.

[Gilthas]

Not really sure why people are having a problem with this. If you're not playing the game why does it matter if you lose the house? 35 days is a lot of time...

So what exactly is the other option? Having houses that are never used and completely empty for the life time of the game?

[Havenchild]

And I really don't get how it affects you in anyway? You don't work for SE. And new housing wards will be released over time anyway, so it's not like in game space is an issue.

Actually it does affect me or others willing to buy a house if its just clogging space. What if I like a particular location but now its just being held up by an inactive group of players? That's not any better. Several high populated servers have a good chunk of the wards full already.

Cactuar being a mid range alone, has a good chunk of them taken. Couerl with a fairly lower base then Cactuar has alot in the gridania and limsa wards full with many FCs, people have never heard of our seen(Servers fairly close knit cause of the low pop.) . I personally know of full FCs that have transferred servers off Couerl but kept the plot because they spent money on it. Of course these same people don't ever log onto the alt holding the plot.
