Private rooms and being kicked from an FC

[dekarguy]

I know it has been stated that you won't be able to leave an FC if you have a private room, but I wonder what provisions will be in place if someone gets kicked out of an FC.

This gives us two potential scenarios:

1) Since the private rooms are non-refundable, a rogue officer or FC master can steal hard earned money and crafted furniture

2) If you can't leave an FC without removing your room, can you no longer be kicked? Is there is an avenue for removing people you no longer want in your FC?

It would be nice to get clarification on what will actually happen in this situation and what measures are in place to prevent abuse.

I also wonder what provisions will be in place if an FC decides to abandon their plot to move to a larger plot, will private rooms transfer? will you only be able to abandon a plot if nobody has private rooms, and if you can't boot someone with a private room, will you be forever locked to a small estate when the FC wants to move to a medium/large?

If I had to guess, if presented with enough evidence, the fc leader can report to a gm and explain the situation and the gm can remove/undo the damage done by the rouge officer and punish him accordingly.

Or they could play the "it's your fault, why did you trust them in the first place?" Card. I honestly hope it's the first one...

What's with the spelling on this forum ?
It's Rogue, not Rouge

Maybe they have an officer that deals with make-up advice! XD (tip: It's a joke ^^ )

It's not just the 300k gil (which to be honest is easy to make in less than a week, even if you don't play the Marketboard) but would you lose the unremovable furniture and fittings which may be worth more than the gil.

Too many questions, too much vague information. Unlesss the "you can't leave the FC" means you can't be kicked either. Which would open another can of trouble.

This is a good topic. I would like to see a clearer answer to this, it really is something that could make a lot of drama too. Yuck.

This is an important question, and it would be nice to know that FC masters can still kick abusive players who have invested in a room in the FC house...

Square-Enix wouldn't be able to spin it that way without being at risk for being sued if someone had a member of their FC who was being abusive towards other members of the FC and that FC member couldn't be kicked because of this new policy and the GM's weren't being cooperative.

I'm guessing or at least hoping that new options will op up to the FC master / players with a rank that lets them switch things up. And my guess this option will let you pick what ppl and want rank can use the Private rooms i at least hope its like this

Highly doubt you can be sued for something happening in an MMO. You don't actually own anything and the only thing you are really paying for is the privileged to log into their server. You technically didn't *lose* anything since it's all virtual stuff owned by SE. I don't get where people think that they have any power or right when it is concerning their characters, it's been like this since the beginning with MMOs (and other type of thing). Otherwise banning characters would open every company to be sued.

Not sure why people keep asking this question. In the 2.3 patch notes, it says:

* As of patch 2.3, free company members who have purchased private chambers cannot be discharged from the free company. This will be addressed in a future update, so as private chambers will be vacated automatically upon discharging.

Here's a link to the notes if you want to see yourself. It's under "Vacating Private Chambers."
