It sucks, but it is what it is. I'm going to assume the companies involved in the Korean version of FFXIV are for-profit companies. In which case, if the population is declining, this is a very normal thing to happen. They have to cut costs somewhere. Does it suck? Yes. But it's clear they believed they could get away with it. I do feel for those who have invested a LOT into the house which is now gone without a trace, but at the end of the day, we don't own these pixels, we only pay for access to them. If it happens here, well, it'll suck, but what can you do about it. Hopefully they can re-code the housing infrastructure, maybe convert them into instanced neighbourhoods? Where it creates them dependent on need. Though I do say individual instanced houses are best. At least stick that in for the new areas (so if a server merge does happen, just chuck all the old houses that get lost into the new area so they at least still have them).
