Please Remove the Inactivity Timer

Maybe I'm veering into off-topic territory here, but congrats! Plot 47 in Lavender beds is tied with Mist’s 49 for my favorite small in the game.

Thank you! It’s my dream plot. I don’t really want a medium but if I did it would probably be plot 16 next door. I’m fortunate to share with someone living on plot 49 Mist so I get the best of both worlds. My husband has plot 45 in Goblet, which is a fantastic small there too.

Back to topic, the only reason we got plots at all, let alone our wonderful ones is thanks to the timer. We got our houses knowing the rules and intend to keep our subs active to retain them. I think if you want to quit because you’ve finished all the new stuff in the patch and would prefer to take a break till the next one you should stick to an apt, that’s what they are there for. To give you a taste of housing without the full commitment.

It was my dream plot too! I had an old character ages ago in that plot. I deleted it, but I wanted to get 47 back on my current. I finally did when they added the new wards during 4.2. I stayed there until this last round of ward additions, when I moved to a medium because I wanted more space. If I could have somehow stayed in 47 and upgraded the interior, I would have done it in a heartbeat! Not only is the view beautiful, but the mb and bell are right next to the entryway and there's that pretty little ledge out back overlooking the waterfall. I think 45 in Goblet is the one with the pond out front and the view of that waterwheel around the side, right? That's a great one too!

Yes, with the current housing situation, some sort of inactivity timer is a necessity. I agree that apartments are the best solution available for someone who wants a house without feeling chained to the game, though I guess I can also see how some people feel like apartments are underwhelming compared to houses. It would be nice if apartments were eventually expanded upon in some way to make them feel more like an instanced alternative to the ward system.
