Reclamation of Inactive Housing announced

[Felis]

* The count for days of inactivity will begin on the release of patch 3.1.

It seem in the english text they forgot an info.
in the german text it is also mentioned that "Subject to Demolishing" and "Steps Prior to Demolishing" are not on the same timer. After 45 days of not going into the house the house get the status of inactivity. And only after another 45 days it get demolished.

...wait what?! So basically plots become available after 90 days of inactivity, starting at the release of 3.1?

And hey another detail:

The price will decrease every six hours from the time at which it is made available for purchase.

- so they're going on sale at the full, original price again. Ugh.

Why would they not? It's not like you're getting a trash-strewn lot or something.

Jesus they do exactly what people ask and still get met with "Ugh"

Doing "exactly what people ask" would be giving up on this broken and unsustainable housing model.
And yeah well sorry if we get upset when there are n number of details to something and they manage to go with the worst options for all n of those.

I must've imagined a lot of posts if no one ever asked for a reclamation system.

Didn't say nobody ever asked for reclamation. But it was in sort of an "at least" way, I do believe everyone asking for it has been well aware that it can only serve as a band-aid - something that should have been in place from the start, without SE chickening out from having it implemented together with the whole housing system.

I also saw quite a few about having bigger butts and where did that get us? Bigger butts doen't really help SE, but making property people paid for get cleared out and resold seems to be their fix to the housing issues. Just yet another bad decision in a long line of bad decisions. "Stay subbed or lose your house". Goes perfect with the greed SE has been showing the past year with this game.

No they did what some certain Vocal Minority wanted (Vocal Minority on both sides of this debate).

That's what I would have expected - a 90 day period. If what you say if correct, and I have no reason to think it isn't, then it's a 90 day demolition process. I'd feel happier about that for personal housing; 45 days for FC is acceptable.
