Why Removing Houses from inactive is NOT a solution.

[Nexxa]

I payed for my house free and clear outright. Rent is something I will not stand for.

However, if you made it like a property tax fee like IRL and make it as trivial I can support that. Putting a cap on it is a no no though. You can pre-pay property taxes as far ahead into the future as you want to my knowledge. I pay $120 a month for my 1,700 square food home on a half acre lot. I could do 120 gil a month.

You're active, you play, that house isn't just collecting dust at the expense of active players. You're not part of the problem. The problem is, in my admittedly less than humble opinion, that many of the houses claimed are by people who will probably never play the game again. Maybe link it to how long your account has been inactive? As long as active players aren't screwed over by those who've bailed I'll be happy with a solution. I'd just want to see paying customers get some love instead of the people that no longer pay SE anything being coddled by a broken system. That said perhaps 10 months cold and you get an email warning you that you'll lose your house in 2 months and another at 1 month.
