Housing relocation needs a timer

[Drkdays]

Exactly, you don't care, SE does, honestly if you haven't gotten a house, then its cuz you haven't actually tried most likely.

lol? It took me 14 hours of concentrated effort to get my small, and there was competition. Define "haven't actually tried."Not demo or adding wards. The two events you mentioned were exactly that, events. If you missed them that's a shame but that's like saying you missed the millionaire who was tossing out $100 bills to the masses. Someone had to grab them up, but it was not likely to be you. How hard do you really gotta try? How much effort should this really take? Jeebus, they're already making people wait on the invisible timer and that's torture enough.

Were you on when the mass demo happened? Where you up at 5am when they added new wards to try and grab one? IF not, then no you *weren't* really trying to get a house. If you want to do to it more casually, then fine. But stop trying to take things from other people who rightfully acquired them. If you have no respect for other players, then quite frankly no one should have any respect for you and your misguided opinions.

Quitting my job today so I can fight an invisible timer that may or may not last more than a day. Thank you for opening my eyes.

HOnestly, I'd rather deal with the house flippers than that friggin' timer. My last try to get a house I camped a plot for *16 hours* only to have the timer pop at 2 in the morning ><

Hourly reminder that only personal houses can be considered as Grandfathered.

Relocation is less of a problem than players like Mew_FC here who owns 25+ houses alone.

They really need to bring back the rule of "One personal house, and one FC house per world, per service account."

I got Mew on Ignore atm thier attitude irked me too much however one house one fc house per world thing came well after they bought up everything they got currently.

I thought the rule was still there?

On the original point, the relocation lacking a timer is an issue for a whole other reason:

Currently the answer to "I can't get a house" is always "just get a Small in The Goblet". Fair advice, except when you look there, it's just as rare to see anything come up as it is in the other zones. Furthermore, checking the actually owned plots, at least half of the smalls are owned but not built on, no placard notes, nothing, clearly just a holding plot waiting on a relocation timer somewhere. Now, my FC would be happy with a small anywhere, don't care if it's facing a wall in the Goblet slums or what, just a space for us to garden, set up a workshop, and play with the toys associated with the feature. Yet hundreds of plots that we'd make use of are being sat on by people who never wanted them in the first place and are just hogging them to use the relocation timer-bypass if their preferred plot(s) ever become available.

If relocation was subject to the same timer as outright purchases, it would mean people who are fussy about where they settle down wouldn't be forced to buy holding plots, leaving them available for the less fussy people to actually make use of. I still think the timer is a farce of an idea, and should be completely reworked or removed, but if it's there, it should apply equally to all so that relocation isn't a requirement and holding plots lose their appeal.

Nope. SE took the rule off after a month or so... =/

It is one and one per account. Except transferring the FC to a character you own is the loophole and cannot be removed because the timer which exists for inactive FCs to automatically transfer leadership of a defunct FC where the leader hasn't logged in to someone who is active. They can't get rid of it because then you would have people complaining about their FC being unable to have a new leader after the time limit.

There are no loopholes. The only time players had to bypass the FC houses restrictions were during the first two weeks of 4.2

You don't need anyone to hand you over leadership to an FC house in order to have 8 per server.
