Thread: Reclaim land from inactive accounts post 3.0?

A couple people are hung up on something I said on the first page but I have adjusted my stance a little, here is the clarification.

I cant say how long it should be but perhaps 31 days after the persons subscription runs out or something else. There needs to be some cut off period where houses are assumed abandoned. Without an unlimited amount of housing plots available you cant just keep a plot indefinitely. Just set up all items to be returned to the calamity salvager along with the reimbursement of funds. It doesnt matter when you set this line, some people wont be happy but we need it. why would someone need to keep their plot if they havent subbed in 3 years, yet someone who plays every day is homeless cause none are available. There also needs to be other restrictions like one house per account/player/character (take your pick).

Regardless, the housing as it is needs some attention, its not utter garbage, but with SE adding in more content directly linked to it there are going to be people locked out of content for no other reason than just not being there in time. It becomes an unattainable goal.

Simple enough... houses shouldn't be a limited resource, that was bad design.

A house owned by an inactive account should literally burn to the ground for the neighborhood's amusement.
