Clarification on Rule for Inactives With Housing

[Arashmin]

While they might be the main target, who knows why this guy was gone. Could be in service to his country or something. Kind of a crappy deal for people who have legitimate reasons to be away, and all that's going to happen is that all the houses are going to be full up by active players, not much different than it is now except with a tiny caveat.

I guess it's too late for this to be reconsidered, but I sorely hope they intend to address the lack of housing in an actual way instead of generating only much misery and false hopes.

Yeah, OP didn't state why the guy was away or anything so I dunno. If he was deployed or something I could totally see being unsubbed for a year and wanting to have your house to come back to. I'll admit that feel a little differently about voluntarily cancelling your sub and still wanting to keep hold of a limited resource like that while you aren't actively playing, though.

Nah, it already went in and is a thing. It's been stated by the devs that this is just the first step in dealing with housing.
