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

I could care less about housing but it kinda makes me laugh how many people sit here and attack OP for what happened but if the shoe was on the other foot and it happened to you.
you'd be right in the forums angry yourselves don't pretend you wouldn't be.

this goes even for the players who don't have a house who want one because if you were able to obtain a house and lost it in the same way I betcha 100% you'd be doing what OP is doing now heh.

The OP isn't a victim of an unfortunate and uncontrollable circumstance. He knew the rules, didn't follow them, ignored the warnings then paid the price.

I'm sure others would moan in his situation, but most here aren't so foolish to put ourselves in that situation to begin with.

Why would I come to the forums to have it pointed out to me that I ignored several attempts by SE to not have my house get demolished? If I buy a house, I agree to abide by the conditions of owning a house, including that it can (and generally will be) destroyed should I not do something as simple as entering it within every 45 days. Kicking and screaming that it needs to be "fixed" when it isn't broken is asking for the quintessential waste of development resources.

Or to put it more succinctly, I wouldn't need the forums to point out I messed up, my now-former plot of land will attest to that.

Since this keeps coming up i will answer. My house was in a key location i like the outside more then inside. SO that is where i chilled. Nothing wrong with that. No penalty should be applied to a paying playing player for that. It needs to be fixed or people will continue to unsub.

Did you receive the emails they should've sent you?

[YatoShishi]

well off the end of the day both sides are right. I never unsub from the game, because it took me A LONG time and A LOT of work to get my house and I dont wanna lose it. But I also understands that we need the timer, otherwise wards will never get free houses and we even have a bigger crisis. Altough I wish sometimes I could just unsub for a while and take a break. Anyhow - mayyyybe, hooopefully one day we get instanced houses ( yes yes, apartments are instanced houses, but I need more space then a lousy room) where we dont have to fear to lose everything we did build. (Apartments do not get demolished, so that would be nice for other instanced housing)

If you liked the outside more and you hang out there, you can still hang out outside the house.

It wouldn't happen to me, I go inside my house because I know there's a 45 day demo timer, just like the OP did. There's no defense here guy.

Guess what it happened to me twice, and i did not complain about it.
I had 2 housing plots which i lost because i was lazy and basically didnt need the house on my own, i wouldnt care less to be honest.
There is a substantial lack of the plots to the point, where people are selling them to another player cheesying the system and making profit out of it. With the latest changes to the housing, it is a little easier to get a house for those who really would like to have one and play with it.
Someone bought the house sure, but it does refund the gil spent on it, so there is nothing lost for someone who had no interest in his house for a whole 45 days.

To be honest, this hasn't happened to me and I'm a bit concerned that it even does happen. The system works in a way that is detrimental to some very important people in very important professions.

Hurricane Victims would be hit by this. Florence hit my area last year and my Power was down for 3 weeks, internet was down for 2 weeks longer than the power, cellphone was a few days longer than that too. And I was one of the lucky ones to get it back as quickly as I did. Some lost homes and propertys due to the storm. Kinda sucks for those who would lose their homes in game too.

Which lends to the technicians who had to travel from across the country and even some from Canada to help bring said power back online. They were away from home for literal months helping those who needed it. They too would be affected by this.

Anyone who has simple business trips that take them across country or to other nations who have to be gone for a few months.

And one that bothers me personally. Soldiers, Marines, Airmen, Sailors, and Guardsmen losing their housing plots for going on training or deployments for several months. Its bad enough for those us who serve to come back to a game and have to play catch up to our buddies. That's something we can understand and can handle. But losing a house, even with a paid subscription is just wrong. I am a veteran myself and have made many friends, some of which are still serving. It would be nice to see them be able to enjoy the game in the same manner I can, at least while they can.

But it is disheartening to see these people as Zeonx pointed out who are attacking the OP. They believe they have more of a right in this game than those groups I listed above. I think very little of that kind of selfishness.

Except the OP was none of those. I would have sympathy for anyone who lost a house in those circumstances. The OP was simply too lazy/didn't care enough to enter his house once, during the 45 day window, when he was standing in the lawn most of the time. That's 100% his fault.
