This is an extremely poor game design. The amount of time/energy/material and money I spent on items completely went to waste. A player cannot help the fact that Free Companies disband, so why would you ever have the game delete all of those items? It makes no sense. It's bad enough the game charges you over and over for private quarters, another silly design, but deleting the items is a whole new low.

How bout this as an idea: When you think/know you're going to be offline for a certain amount of weeks/months, move everything that you care about (and that you can move) onto a retainer.

The FC house/room will be gone but your objects you saved will still be on your retainer waiting for you.
