About the freeze on automatic land reclamation system...

[MomomiMomi]

This is not true.
At the first place, some houseless complained no house to buy, they didn't accept they were late or lack of foresight, or not do business with the housing,
and keep complaining and eventually we have this great reclaiming system. ^^;

I'm talking about non-Japanese being second rate customers to Square Enix. They stopped reclamation for a Japanese incident, but it's very unlikely they would do the same for anyone else.

It a reclaim system not a give up system

I love how in 2013 when houses came out people paid money for them and didn't expect to ever get that money back. The house costs that much, they paid it, money gone. Back then it was also considerably more money as well.

But now, because of reclamation, everyone expects their house purchase to be refundable when they want to give it up.

It doesn't work that way. The 80% is a compensation for having lost the property. If you want your money back, then wait 45 days and laugh that you beat the system and willingly gave up your house and got some money back, but please don't expect to get it back before then. Housing is still supposed to be a gil sink, but it's becoming less and less of one.

Ic. I think SE will do the same but we just wish we will never have chance to prove it.

Yes, but why speaking to me ....
I am not the one need a give up system and I was the one objecting this reclaim system.

I suggested keep subs active (ie. reclaim when n-day no subs) instead of "access your house in 45days" at the first place as many ppl said some ppl will not be able to access their house for valid reasons.
But another group of ppl said "if you don't access your house you don't need it" and eventually we have this great (problem) reclaiming system.

And then yes it happened (unable to access), and SE resolved it by suspending the system.

The refund of 805 is for those who get forced out of the house due to LONG inactivity ONLY. If you want to leave for any other reason like server transfer, well... you choice. So No refund. Demolish it a move server.

I am one to think the "refund" that occurs during reclamation is a motivation for someone to resub again and not to give back someone their money on a house they want to part with. Granted, I'm sure it happens both ways though.

If someone found out about the reclamation system after they unsubbed, they might feel like that's one less reason to come back. But then they read the part about getting most of the money back so they might resub thinking they could just buy another house. After they resub and log in they of course find out there aren't any available but hey!

You're right, it does go both ways. And of course the 20% loss as well as loss of special furniture that's destroyed on removal is a gil sink.

This is just a simple request for information and a suggestion on how to cater for those who are not effected by terrible disasters. Like another person already said, they are not going to pause the system for every disaster in every country.
