Plots everywhere demolished and open!

I mean its quite genius from a business perspective. Guaranteed sub fees. and chances are they drop money on the item store, and have lots of retainers. I jest...

You are very correct, and it tastes like dirty chocobo tail feathers lol .

If you're unsubbed for so long that your house demolishes, were you even using it really? Did you derive any value from it? What about your neighbors who saw a vacant house with nobody living in it for so long? Player housing should go to players who will actually use it, both in terms of giving active players a chance to enjoy the housing system and to make neighborhoods more active and vibrant.

Also you're not actually losing much when your house explodes. You keep all your furniture and 80% of the gil cost of the plot.

Don't misunderstand me, I think the demolition system is required and important (and before it existed I was one of the ones suggested it should be a thing). I just think it's sad that it has to be a thing. Many other MMOs have figured out systems that don't need this mess of solutions. All that placard standing, compromise of location, etc.

Given our circumstance I think the demolition system is important and shouldn't be removed. I just hate that this is our circumstance, feels like an issue from an ancient relic of time, and wanted to throw my finely aged salt around .
