    It's impossible to tell if people are joking or not with text.
    It's pretty obvious with the OP's thread. I knew from the thread title alone before I even entered it.

    I'm guessing it has something to do with the 'HOA' in the title? I had no idea what it was until I looked it up. Seems like some kind of American thing?

    It's probably not as obvious as you think, for us non-American posters.

    HOA = Home Owners Association. Usually a group of people living in the same general area that dictate how houses in the area should be maintained with loose agreements. Leaders (and authority) are largely self-appointed. The usual goal of one is to keep property values in the area high. Especially in wealthy neighborhoods. You can probably see where this is going.

    They are fairly infamous in that, as they are largely self-appointed, you get power tripping douchebags in most of them that are basically the embodiment of 'NO FUN ALLOWED' for the most frivolous of reasons. Like each house has to be painted a certain way, gardens have to be arranged in a certain manner, and so on. Really douchebaggy HOA leaders are known for siccing lawyers and police at neighbors doing something they don't like (or don't like them in general). And that's before you get into some HOAs being so infamous that it's an open secret that they'll vet whoever even moves into the damn area, and suddenly make the place as unappealing as possible the moment certain types of people start looking around for a new house in the area.

    That said, anyone who has ever dealt with one knows the OP is being rather sarcastic about this.

    Quite a few people don't understand what jokes are

    The OP literally drew a picture.

    Wow, the OP must be very skilled to draw something that looks almost exactly like the game itself!

    I see, as it turns out even context is difficult for you to muster.

    File a complaint with Lord Godbert.

    I enjoyed the humor though, unlike some.

    Its all going according to Godberts plan. D: He is going to brainwash you into his minion with the constant playing of this music, so that you will work (in a bunny costume) in the gold saucer as part of the new WoL attraction. How evil! The only way to stop this influence is the construcion of a huge paissa wall, together with our overlord Namazu.

    Anyway I like this topic and great to see how some already jumped to certain conclusions.

    Letter from the Producer LIVE Part IX Q&A Summary (10/30/2013)
    Q: Will there be any maintenance fees or other costs for housing, besides the cost of the land and house?
    A: In older MMOs, such as Ultima Online, there was a house maintenance fee you had to pay weekly, but in FFXIV: ARR we decided against this system. Similarly, these older MMOs also had a system where your house would break down if you didn’t log in after a while in order to have you continue your subscription, but this is a thing of the past and we won't have any system like that.
