As of November, houses that have not been entered within what is essentially a buffered subscription period will be removed for other players to claim the vacated spot. Only a percentage of the original cost is refunded, and if the player doesn't log in over an additional buffered subscription period to claim their housing items, they'll lose those items, too.

Assuming here that paying extra for it when you are subscribed would be as an alternative to a continuous subscription to avoid reclamation, no more housing shortage, and the potential for additional funding directed towards improving housing going forward -- and if it were completely optional in the same way hiring additional retainers is optional -- would you pay extra for housing in Final Fantasy XIV?
