This is the ideal compromise to stop complaints about the new house expiration system. Furniture can be expensive, and the inability to take it back as an inventory item is a bit strange.

The first ideal would be to just allow furniture to be taken back as items, and simply have an NPC in the residential areas take these items and let players reclaim them at any time after letting a house expire.

If that's not possible for whatever reason, then at least keep a list of deployed furnishings when a house is removed. If they player ever buys a new house, they can re-deploy from this list into their new house, and redecorate with all of their old stuff.


Having housing cycle is fine. I don't think anyone's worried about that part of it. It's just the destruction of furniture that people are worried about, and that should be easily able to be fixed.
