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.

If it happened to me it'd be my own fault for not walking into the house I apparently spent a month and a half sitting in front of not using, just like it's the OPs fault for doing... that. Can't blame the game for your own choices, whether the system is a broken mess or not. :P

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.

I'm sorry but if you don't visit the inside of your house in 30 days you probably don't deserve it. I'm so tired of going around housing disctrics and seeing people with bare bones empty houses. Like why did you even buy it if you're not going to use it.

Ye----ah no. See what you and whoever agrees with you fail to understand is that OP lost his house cause he was LAZY. He KNEW about the system. He knew enough to know " I better sit in my lawn so I don't lose my house" Funny about that was he was missinformed and had he did a tiny amount of research would've NEVER lost his house. I'm sorry but He not only knew enough to go and FIND a house but to sit there and not use it cause - lazy- and then get mad when it's taken cause he didn't do his homework? Nah fam you gets no pats on the head from me at that point.

Noone is attacking the OP. but people are NOT going to sit here and baby him either... and most likely would NEVER do it when threads upon threads are made about how getting one is hard as balls. To use an old qoute... you can't cry to poor people about not having enough money for a second house and a boat and not being rich enough and expect those same poor people to feel sorry for you.

I know how the timer window works. I know that housing demolition is a thing in this game (though I dont think it should be). I know that all I have to do is go inside my house every month and a half (and if you arent growing something in flowerpots inside which facilitates going inside, you should be) and it wont go away.

Its entirely on me if I lose my house because I just dont care enough to zone inside 8 or 9 times a year.

Instanced housing is absolutely needed in this game. For those of us who love housing and decorating and want a million of them, for people like this who want it for status but never use it, for people who desperately want one but don't have time to wait for destruction timers... Non instanced serves very few people, and the only people it serves are those who want to lord their status over others, so even though in this instance I think OP is at fault, SE still needs to change their system, or at least add a separate housing system that is instanced.

Isnt that what apartments are for?

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

I haven't yet gone through these 10 pages but in case anyone hasn't posted it yet,

It's kinda a tradeoff is the only thing. You don't have to worry about the demo timer with apartments, and you get to decorate the inside, BUT you don't get a yard, you don't get cross-breed gardening, you only get access to one size (one FLOOR even), and you can't have tenants.

We have bits and pieces of good solutions in place right now, but housing system as a whole could definitely use a few changes/improvements.

Currently no... want to do crossbreeding, need a house. Want a place for the FC as a whole, need a house (that said, if they added a way to cross-breed in apartments, I would support houses going FC only). Even then, apartments are limited to 90 per complex (2 per ward, so 12960‬ per housing area, 51840 total per realm, which sounds like a lot but I aren't sure if it would be enough to be seen as unlimited)
