Well well

Simple reason to this.

Money its a good business decision to remove houses from inactive people than keep adding new wards which costs money. Sorry if your in the service and can't log in but this is only one of the steps their taking to fix housing.

As iv said good business decision.

What u r saying is they would rather trap ppl than use any of the money from all these subscribers who want their own house? That's not good business, that's good GREED.

They gota pay their people some how they need to some how make profits. Even when I was in a FC with a house I was all for this because it's stupid to have inactives have them when there's people who want them and plan on staying for the long haul.

Removeing inactive houses is first step to fixing this any way.

If, after implementing this, they scare 75% of the MIA housing owners into resubbing and as a result only reclaim a fraction of the land that they'd hoped, they may yet add additional wards. But it makes much more sense to recycle first.

I managed to grab my personal house via a miracle when the last FC member transferred to another server without bothering to selling the house first or something like that; all I know is a plot opened up in Goblet and I rushed there fully expecting to see a transaction in process, but there wasn't one. I hope now that others on Lamia server who have had an active sub for over two straight years like me can have the option to buy into a FC or personal house, too.

meh. 80% sounds good and doesnt.

My previous FC leader left the game over a year ago. He is NEVER. COMING. BACK.

To hear all the whining, it sounds like people are perfectly fine with multiple plots being tied up forever, by PEOPLE WHO WILL NEVER PLAY THE GAME AGAIN.

No, some of us just happen to think 45 days is way too short. IMO it should be at least twice that duration.

3 months is about the length of one major patch cycle, and someone who doesn't log in for that length of time is much more likely to have called it quits.

45 days though? Blatant cash grab disguised as a "fix" for the housing problem.

[Alahra]

This isn't really intended as a fix for housing space--they never marketed it as such. When they announced it, they mentioned wanting to clear up spaces that were no longer in use (a number of houses belong to dead FCs and the like on my server). 45 days probably is too shot in my mind, I was expecting about 60 days, though I'm glad they're also being sure to send out emails.

45 day timer seems short to me. Perhaps they could have allowed people who sub and can't visit like active military to keep their homes and not have to physically visit them.

Then everyone will claim they're in the military or something and we'll be right back where we started; abandoned plots being squatted by people that are not using the plots.

I feel simply having a active subscription should count as well. For example what if something happens to psn making them unable to visit their house but still able to pay on their account.
