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

So are we going to completely ignore the fact that someone was literally sitting in front of his house's door for an entire month and two weeks and not even once bothered to click on the door? It's something that takes 30 seconds! It's not a matter of attacking someone or not, it's a matter of someone complaining about something that could have been prevented if they actually cared about it, and they had an opportunity to prevent it every single day because they were not unsubbed. If they like the ward more than the fact they have to keep a house then ask a friend to share their estate. No obligations, same purpose.

I'm not worried about what happened to the OP. What is sick is the fact that people are fine with those who have legitimate concerns about losing housing in situations they cannot control get hurt just so that people like the OP who derp up a mistake get hammered too. I cannot even comprehend the reasoning for that stance.

In a situation like that I feel like if you can't step in Final Fantasy for 45 days because a situation you can't control, gaming should probably not be your top priority at the moment. It sure sucks, but I'm pretty sure whatever people might be going through in life for those 45 days of absence is more important than login on an MMO. And if something happens on a big scale, SE always makes sure to lift the auto-demolition system.

You assume. But I speak from experience having been through both disasters and a deployment. Yes the last thing one cares about during a disaster or deployment is a MMO house. But those situations don't last a lifetime. You eventually get power back, or get home. So it'd be nice to have a dwelling sitting there waiting for those of us who go through such events.

Currently there is flooding in much of the midland US. The system is NOT paused as demos happened a few days ago. Some peeps have lost their IRL homes. Its going to be a kick in the nuts for those that do play the game to find they lost their IG home as well. And I doubt SE will be willing to hold demo's everytime a military unit deploys. If that was the case, suspend demo's indefinitely.

Demos are there for a good reason, so yeah no. Turning them off is just a terrible idea that would make a bad system worse. Like I said before, if it was so important that it made a difference in someone's life, they could quite easily have someone log in and step into their house once a month. There are very easy remedies for those types of situations (for housing not getting demo'd) IF it's that important to people.
