Demo lite suggestion

[caspergrey]

I'd hate to come back and have to not only rebuy the house, but have to put my hundreds of housing items back up.
And this is on top of the fact that you might come back in that grace period, money in hand to buy a new house, and have there just be no plots available.

To be clear, I don't think any scenario is an ideal one right now. It was simply an idea that would allow more plots to open up in the current market while still not completely kicking people to the curb during the pandemic. I think there would be a way to make it that you can transfer into a house at the same amount that you get when your house is demolished.

Perhaps they can give a housing voucher to those who have houses demolished during the pandemic that you can either exchange for gil or use to immediately transfer into an open plot plus/minus the difference in price.

But, in the current scenario you also have a situation where someone just naturally left the game and are not coming back and their plot is not getting released.

At some point the demo restriction is going to be released and there will still be people that fall on the short end of the stick. So not coming back before a grace period has ended is really not that different than coming back after demos have been reinstated in terms of risk of not getting into a house.
