I've Lost Everything

They are, for only 30 days(?) and then it goodbye gil and housing items if you don't login and pick them up by that point.

35, but yep to everything else you said

Aye, thank you. Wasn't sure if it was 30 or more

Oh damn. That makes no sense to me. They have a 45 day demo timer which obviously happens when you not playing anymore but then expected you to return to the game within a month to reclaim your shit?

That is correct. If you don't come back within that month (it actually 35 days, someone corrected me) everything is deleted. If you had stuff that you bought from the mog station, doesn't matter, it gone if you don't reclaim it in time.

I wonder if the letter from SE announcing demolition actually informs the user of this. I let a plot go awhile back to demo on my own because i didn't want that plot but I honestly don't recall anything about the time for reclaiming my money or furnishings.

I'm actually in the same boat as the OP, more or less. I knew I'd lose my home, but was mistakenly under the impression I'd still be able to reclaim some of my gil/furnishings from the NPC. What really gets me is that I had quite a few furnishings paid for with real money through the mog shop. And yeah its my fault I guess for not being aware of the 35 day limit, but I'm at a loss as to why the limit even exists. Don't they want players to come back? I was sent all these "come back to eorzea" emails, but when I log in, I'm greeted with the realization I'd lost pretty much all my stuff, and frankly my first thought was to just log out and play something else.

and i don't agree with that method either. it should stay there permanently not some month delay. i would feel salty as a player to know what i worked for was just deleted in essence. i wouldn't come back, i would go to another game that value's my time and energy spent

I've already cancelled my sub over this. When my 20 or so days are up, I'm done. I don't want to give money to a game that treats players like this.

WoW and Star Wars the Old Republic are similar in gameplay to this. WoW has a ton more stuff to do. I played it 8.5 yrs from launch (vanilla) till I played SW. Played SW 5+ yrs. They are both viable options and as far as I know, still don't delete your stuff. In SW, you can have 4x fortresses that are all different. I heard WoW has barrack/shared style housing now but not sure. Good luck to you.

WoW does not have housing. The garrison is your "space" yes, but it's not customizable.
