Category 4 Hurricane Eta blasted Nicaragua about two weeks ago, before this news hit.
Category 4 Hurricane Iota just hit the same exact area yesterday.
It is reasonable to think people who play FFXIV, who were hit by both hurricanes, are not be aware of the housing timer.
Now, I don’t know how many players are from Nicaragua, but resumption of the timer would be a bitter pill to swallow when they’re able to play FFXIV again.
Finally able to rebuild after these hurricanes, just wanting to relax and get away from life for an hour or two, log into FFXIV, see virtual house gone...
It rubs me the wrong way thinking about it.
