Demolition This Week (?)

[Penthea]

I have heard from some friends that demolition is supposed to happen on the 4th, 5th or 6th but I can't find any information about this at all.

Does anyone know when it's actually happening? I don't fancy having to camp the aetheryte for three days straight.

45 days after 3.4 are the best guesses

So that would actually be the 10th?

How do I even know demolition is actually going to happen? Do SE announce it somewhere and I'm just too dim to find it, or is it just speculation?

The timer was only ever paused, not reset, no?
I've already seen houses go up for sale.

Demolitions have been happening already. The clock just started again at 3.4 so any house that accumulated time before it was stopped still had that.

Demolitions are not announced anywhere, the houses just get destroyed and you have to be lucky enough to get there first. Your best chance is to check the wards regularly.

So demolition is an on-going thing? I was under the impression that the 45 day countdown only happened after certain days, such as major patch days for example. I have a friend who hasn't logged into his house in well over 45 days and it hasn't been demolished.

So basically it's hopeless unless you can camp the aetheryte. I can't spend my entire life online : /

It's ongoing, and under normal circumstances would provide a trickle of an occasional house or two opening up at virtually any time (based on whenever the previous owner had last used it). But because that process had been suspended for over five months (April - September), all the houses that were abandoned during that time will be released 45 days (possibly adjusted for maintenance time?) from the time it started up again. That's why a bunch are expected to open up at once around the 10th or 11th.

I wish you luck with getting a nice one. (I managed to snag a perfect spot for my FC house last time new wards were released. )

Its always ment to be active however it was suspended because of an earthquake.

Think of it as an idle timer that starts from when the house was last accessed by the owner / fc members for an fc house.

Ah, I see. So it was ongoing, then it was delayed, and it will be ongoing again. Thanks for this.

See above... If you are specifically hoping to find plots that are opening up from people that bought during the release of 3.4 and then didn't ever use them, they should start being relinquished around the 11th.
