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.

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.
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.
