I'm fully in support of introducing some sort of system for reclaiming plots from inactive players. Unfortunately there is a small vocal group that thinks it is unfair for them to lose a plot if they don't play for months on end. I've even been accused of being selfish for advocating the forced relinquishing of inactive plots despite these squatters actually being the selfish ones...

SquareEnix tried to implement something like this a while back and people screamed about it so I don't know what it will take for them to actually do the right thing and add it anyway. I know some would say they should be adding more capacity instead but then that would leave most of us living in ghost neighborhoods full of mostly abandoned houses. I'd rather have actual neighbors thanks!
