Well well

While I'm happy for people wanting homes, I still feel like this should have been more strict. 4-5 of my neighboring FCs rarely log in, because they moved servers/dropped mains and went to other FCs, then left their alts in charge to keep their FCs/homes. My block is still going to be dead, because now they just need to log in the one time and then ignore it for another nearly two months. This does nothing to combat greedy players unless they actually quit playing the game.

To those looking to buy, I hope you get your plots/FC housing.

This isn't a fix for the housing availability problem. This is a sham that's meant to manipulate you into staying subscribed forever or else. If SE really wanted to fix the housing system, they'd have fixed the availability problem. But if they had a fix for the availability problem, this 45 day timer system wouldn't exist.

This is very bad for all of us. This shows that they have no plan or intention of fixing the lack of availability. People should not be celebrating this. We should be spitting this in SE's faces and telling them no we don't want the limited availability redistributed. We want the limited availability fixed.

This is immediately going to open up the plots next to me on either side. Both belong to FCs that are dead. One is down to one lone member that hasn't logged in since July. The other has multiple members, but the last person to log on, and thus the current FC leader, is a level 43 who hasn't been on in six months.

Pretty much this. You should be able to safely take a month or two off and have your housing be safe, especially given the length of time between patches and expansions. 90 days is far, far more reasonable and 75 would be fine.

Also, this whole thing doesn't address alts. One account should be able to own one house. Period.

In FC houses isn't a problem, it is unlikely that everyone will not log for 45 days straight...

In case of Personal houses, deal with it. Is like you decide to take a break for 3-6 or more months when there is many active players looking for 1 house seems unfair. Even in real life if you own a house but you don't go home and not pay taxes etc they can take over your house and sell to someone else.
Best solution you can do is having someone you know well and is faithful and he will do the basic stuff you request in your inactivity period.

People saying deal with it. What if u r active duty military and get sent overseas for months a time.

You still pay your Bills monthly... as long as you keep paying it, nobody can take your House away. If that's not the case in your Country, then I guess the Rule of "Different Country, Different Rules" applies here...

You have the bill linked to your credit card so paying isn't a problem as long you have money there. Even if you can't pay you still have your wife/husband in the house or having some family taking care for you usually.

EDIT: if you were talking about in game then you can give your account info to a friend to log and take care of your needs.

I thought it says ACCESSING your house.....not just paying a sub very month. It says Accessing . two very different things.

In that matter if you don't pay sub how can you access your house? Unless anyone that access your house count for the reset of that counter. If anyone that enter in FC/personal house reset then people can stay unsubscribed longer. I guess we need to clarify this thing :x

I would hope the last thing on my mind would be my virtual house in a video game.

I'm pretty sure you have more important things to worry about than a virtual house. If you know you are going to be away for a long time, then don't buy something you know you can't keep.
