Lost my House

[Limecat]

I got rid of my house right after they started this system because I resent the idea of having it held hostage by an active sub. I'd be perfectly happy with slightly larger apartments and indoor deluxe garden plots.

Good for you

I remember back then in DAoC where you had to pay a rental for your place while you ran your subscription.
Yes, you had to buy a plot license, put the right housing certification on and all the expansion you wanted.

And then run a upkeep for it.

Every MMO (aside from this one) which utilized limited housing required upkeep. Asheron's Call, Everquest 2, Archeage - all of them had either monthly or bi-weekly (meaning once every 2 weeks) of 'rent' that you had to pay to keep your land. I've always considered FFXIV a bit lenient in this regard. It'd be a decent gil-sink to make people pay, like, 5-10% of their house's initial cost every month.

If it makes the OP feel any better, I'll likely end up losing mine, since I'm going to be changing countries and I wont have a job. While I got reserve funds to keep my sub running, there's no point in doing that, as I wont be able to log in to keep my house. So when I leave, I gotta demolish it.

Pretty sure if you just leave it to be auto-demoed you'll get a fairly big chuck of the cost back (though you have to claim it in a limited time). If you just demo yourself I don't think you get anything.
