Why Removing Houses from inactive is NOT a solution.

[Nexxa]

I disagree with this. Especially for anything over a couple months. The main thrust of any of these actions should be to create churn in the real-estate market, particularly by targeting inactive players/accounts to remove their houses. If someone can pay their tax up to a year in advance it completely invalidates this, especially if the cost is completely trivial allowing most/all homeowners to do so. Why wouldn't they? It removes the necessity to do it manually every month, removes that annoyance.

But it also means that if they quit their house is still tied up for a full year before it drops off. That's HUGE in MMO time.

Pay in advance systems that go over, maybe, two months invalidate the main purpose of having a tax system at all.

I don't care if it's taxes or if it happens so long after your account goes inactive... something needs to clear out the abandoned houses.
