    Exactky how did you come to the conclusion that this game is so important. Just because I stated players should ask friends to hold houses if things go bad for said players. ;Thinking;

    Hmm well if I were SE I'd bring this up to the overheads who'd bring it up to the core parent company overheads who'd take about a week to debate it at the next bulletin meeting who'd refer a lower position specialist to be responsible to lead the department responsible to conduct a minor investigation who'd submit a report at the next meeting and then there will be a formal procedure to discuss action and action will be discussed and then a summary of policy points will be relayed to the operating company who will conduct its own investigation which will tell it whether this is feasible or not from both current and past events and what impacts it will bring to the operation of the game in the future and then they will formulate an execution plan which will be summarized into the next main bulletin meeting which will be approved (conditionally) by the parent company which will then be assigned to the next update plan and then tentatively carried out.

    By then this thread will have been up for about a month. So go nuts arguing here, if you will.

    But if it was an earthquake in Japan, it'll probably go like this:

    Producer phones higher-up at parent company responsible for this game. "How you doing, you ok with the earthquake? Ye, I understand, good to hear. Ye, I heard about it too. Mhm we know, we're suspending Titan release for sensitivity issues, you probably saw it in the last report. Oh oh, don't thank me, it's my job. Oh btw, some of our players got affected by the earthquake as well. Ye, it seems we should do something for them more personally too. Yes, of course we can do that, our game does stress interpersonal interaction more, that I understand, I'll personally write to them. Yes, we'll definitely do it. Ok, talk later."

    Approval in less than an hour. Japanese efficiency for you. Only for Japanese earthquakes.

    Unless the hurricane was dropping PS4s and gaming PCs instead of rain before it hit full-on I don't think many people in Puerto Rico were playing this game there at that time.

    More people live in Texas, Oregon, and Florida and more people play video games there. More people here know others that do. Houston specifically was going to host a big ff xiv event before it was cancelled before Harvey hit.

    You are always very keen to talk down on others when issues like this come up but all that you ever really do is highlight your own lack of empathy and willingness to use the misfortune of others as a hollow talking point.

    Easiest solution: your demolition timer only starts after your subscription ends. So the people who suddenly became preoccupied would know exactly when and how long they have before demolish. And generally if we have a subscription up we'll probably continue to have it up for some time. This provides leeway for people who actually need it. I'm not even asking SE to give extra subscription compensation time to people because they can't play the game. I'm just saying, if they're still paying ... you don't want to give them a reason to stop, eh. Please consider adding this rule and leeway for all future demolitions.

I'm just confused people make big deal of virtual houses.
    Apparently Yoshi P felt that the JP player base would which is why it was suspended before for catastrophic events.

    I'll say it again.

    You people going on calling those who disagree with this monsters who lack compassion for not agreeing with you (while at the same time trying to speak for other people) are really annoying.

    Sure. Go ahead and bend over backwards to try and accommodate people that honestly don't need it, but you really need to stop with implying those of us who don't are horrible, evil monsters.

    On a somewhat-related note, I love this game, but I want to KEEP it separated from real life. That's the reason I even play it in the first place. A few hurricanes is not the world-ending scenario you are trying to make it out to be, and there is literally no reason to delay auto-demolish.

    Hell, do ANY of you even know someone who's slated to lose their house due to being unable to get online? I would bet dollars to pennies that you don't.

It's just a game, take it easy, the world will not end even if all the houses get wrecked at next calamity by the time the game ends its service.
    It was a hyperbolic to get a point across, why get invested in anything if it will just end is your argument. Because we pass our time the way we want to.
    Yes this game will end, but this isn't a reason NOT to enjoy all it has and the services and experiences it offers are important to some people.

    NO this isn't super important to real life. You keep saying that. I never said anyone was going to die or anyones world was going to end. I said it would be nice if this happens. It would make peoples days a little nicer if their stuff was still there when they finally got some time to get back to their favorite game. Its a little change and if it doesn't matter to you so much why even take an opposing viewpoint? You've even said you quit the game. Said you just come back for the forums.. it seems you just come back to be negative and tell others how they should think the game is worthless.

    literally: it would be nice is a reason. perhaps not a super solid reason. but it is a reason.


    I personally know one person in texas who has flood damage and may or may not have time to get back online. They're dealing with their real problems right now and I'll probably offer to help if it goes on farther than 30 days. I also have 2 guildies who have houses who we haven't seen online since parts of florida lost power. No idea if they're OK. I hope they are.

    no the world will not end. In half a year nobody will even remember this thread. Nobody said the world was ending. The naysayers keep saying that but nobody who wants this done has said it.
    for the 7th time: This is something little and nice that could be done. We are requesting, politely and reasonably, if this could be considered.
