Housing demolition timer need to be changed! Sitting on your property needs to count.

Like i said, in-game timers show it aswell as several mails.

There are not several mails. ONLY one email 9 days before its gone. Which most email servers sees as spam so you not see it often outside of game. In game moogle letter to owner would work better as well as a pop up for a major thing like this. They offer it for much less things in game.

Show me in game notice link. I never seen it.

I know it's in the Timers at least. It could also be in one of those opening messages when you first log in.

I do agree that interacting with your garden should count. Most of my gil went to buying my house, Im building up again to buy some furniture I like but for now theres not much in there so I dont have much of a reason to go inside. Like its not game breaking for me but it would be nice.

Agreed 100%

You are telling me that in 45 days, you did not once enter your house. Why do you need a house then?

I've bought them in the past because I like decorating the yard (not so much the inside). I gave up though finally because i kept losing them to demolition during my many sabbaticals from the game.

Well, my house was set for autodemolition this week because I took a break from the game. I got an e-mail saying that the house was about to be demolished 10 days in advance, and a second one was sent two days prior with an "(URGENT)" tag attached to it's subject, making it pretty hard to miss. And I wasn't even playing at the time.

If you did not enter your house while playing the game for an entire month and two weeks, then it's your own fault for losing the plot. If you don't have a reason for entering your house then make one. Go use the mender inside. Go summon retainers every once in a while, go use the aesthetician or even change your orchestrion rolls. If you wanted a house just for the sake of having one and nothing else, you might be better off owning a free company room or an apartment.

No one else to blame here but yourself.

Edit: Also worth mentioning that this is taking into account that the auto-demolition system was halted. It's possible that you haven't entered your house for way more than 45 days without even realizing it.

I blame you for missing the point about IN GAME POP UP NOTICE! Not mail outside the game.

As much as i tend to lean towards the victims of the draconian dog-eat-dog world of housing- especially on large servers, i cant help but feel this way- if you're subbed and actively playing and actively using your lawn every day for at least 45 days, why did you never click your door? did you not have a chest? and armoire? a bell? if a loading screen was a much bigger hassle than running a minute or 3 away to another board, then.... why do you care enough to make a post here? im really confused by all this.

like... seriously, how does one use their house that often but never actually go inside of it? is it empty? is it inconvenient? I'm just more baffled and impressed than anything

[Endeleon]

Seriously, if you have an active sub and your house gets auto-demoed... tbh you deserved it.

My point stays the same. If you need the game to yell at you reminding you to do something you neglected every 45 days, you don't actually need it in the first place.
