House and FC Stolen

[Askio]

Plot 21, 10th World on Brynhildr
I logged in within 45 days after I got a demo notice (I'm military and we have training, etc that stopped me), logged on, and I'm no longer in the FC, house is under a different FC, and I don't know how. Can't find the person, can't get my FC, and the person has been absent for 6 months or longer. Trying to get back everything I can that I put into the house solo but no luck.

The only reason the house is even still there is because of me, and it seems shady that I lose out when I didn't transfer FC or anything else.

This really sucks, I'm sorry. It sounds like leadership might have passed to somebody else above you and they decided to kick you out of the FC. Whether they sold the FC, sold the plot, or it's the same FC with a different name (assuming this can be done) and it's still on the plot; I can't really say. The whole situation is terrible but, SE or any GMs you contact won't do anything for you. The system is working as intended. Even if you were "hacked" and the hacker relinquished the plot, SE still won't give the plot back. Your only option if you can't get any answers is to move on. Again, sorry this happened to you.

Were you the FC leader? When did you previously login?

If the FC leader doesn't login for 35 days, then it automatically transfers leadership to the next most senior member who has logged in within the last 7 days:

From the 2.2 patch notes:

In the event a free company master does not log in for 35 days (Earth time), ownership will be automatically transferred to another free company member, based upon the following criteria:
1. Members who have logged in within the past seven days
2. Higher-ranked members preferred
3. Senior members preferred

* After the transfer, the former master will automatically be demoted to ordinary member status

So you said you logged in before the 45 days for demolition, but it sounds like it had still been at least 35 days in which case the FC passed to someone else who kicked you out and either renamed it, sold it or just dismantled it. Sorry, but unfortunately that's working as SE intended so there's nothing else you can do but move on. Sorry

Nothing was stolen. You didn't log in for more than 30 days so ownership of the FC was transferred to someone else. That's just how it works.
