Housing demolition

[NemesisRevo]

It’s just a pretty pointless post by you getting salty because you didn’t go inside your house once for 45 days, despite apparently playing every single day to raid.

What response were you expecting?

As I said I'm almost sure 45 days didn't passed too. I opened a ticket for that, so stop losing your time to reply with no constructive words. So shocked how people can be so aggressive.

There is a bug where sometimes the game doesn't register that you have entered your house unless you interact with something inside of it. It's something that has been getting reported for a while and been viewed with skepticism by part of the player base but it does exist. I had my own experience with it earlier this year.

A friend has one of my alts as tenant in his house. I had noticed the demo notice in her timers and let him know.

"But I was just in my house yesterday".

He went back in his house again. We both still had the demolition notice in our timers.

He logged off his character, logged back in, went into his house and this time interacted with his Summoning Bell as I suggested. Finally the demolition message cleared.

All I can say is that it's best to make sure you enter your house every time you log in and interact with something in the house, and also to check your Estate timers on a regular basis (I tend to check my timers every Monday to make sure I got all my weekly stuff done on my characters and it's easy to check Estate at the same time). The notification will show up in timers 14 days before demolition while the emails don't get sent out until 10 days before demolition.

As for the something better for housing, they need to stop pouring resources into the ward system and start expanding on the instanced system. There is no need for demolition with instanced housing (why apartments don't demo). The ward system has created far too many headaches with no real benefit (doesn't feel like I'm living in a neighborhood when I never see my neighbors).

Thank you for the suggestions jojoyo, this is maybe happened to me and I'll pay more attention next time.

As someone who just started decorating my room in our FC house, I can understand how attached we can get for the hard work we put into decorating our room and house. it takes time and effort especially after a while when you start farming for those more expensive furniture.

As some posters have said do not forget to reclaim those from the housing vendors so that at least when you re-acquire a house or room that you at least have those rare furniture still.

I do wish they can think of a better way for this housing but it is hard. Even if they make it an FC only housing some people will make shell-FC to buy multiple ones.

The only thing we can hope is like you said that people can be more reasonable and generous but unfortunately for every generous person there is a person who is not. I once met someone when I was helping FC to buy a house in goblet who said he was buying a house not because he wants one or his FC needs it (they already have FC mansion), but because they are planning to make an entire ward under their FC so each member is encouraged to buy a plot on that specific ward. And yes he won the click race lolz It is kinda sad though as after I congratulated him he admitted that while it is awesome he won he probably won't use it much since he is not a housing player.

I decorated my house with my boyfriend, and we did together a lot of glitching so yeah I'm really sad for the time spent.
I reclaimed everything thanks for the help!

“Almost sure” sounds very convincing.

If the crux of your point was that your house had been demolished early (and you actually had any proof instead of just a hunch) then fair enough. But it’s not. It’s just pages of you whining that other people who don’t deserve houses have them and you don’t.

Instead, people who has multiple houses care more than me cause they remember to do it. Even if they don't care for real cause they didn't use it.

Clearly they use it more than you do as they bother to go inside at least once every six weeks.

I also lost my house this is insane... like my life has been extremely busy but I DO USE MY HOUSE and i literally log out in my yard every time i play. Like im sry that my life is such garbage i can't remember to walk in. I'm literally having a panic attack, this is horrible

i literally log out in my yard every time i play.

Logging off in your yard will not reset the timer. You need to go INSIDE the house (and preferly use something in there like summoning bell etc)

Am I the only one that will put Repair NPC in the house and use it everyday?
It is so weird to see people claiming they lost the house because they didnt receive notification

Personally I dont need to use the Repair NPC since I can repair stuff myself - and I would imagine that that goes for one or two other homeowners aswell...

...but still - there are SO many useful things I stuffed into my house (and convenitly right at the entrance, too!) that I find myself entering the house on a basically daily basis to handle retainers, trade with vendor NPCs or access the FC chest. Thats not even to mention just entering the house to craft in peace with music of my choice...

So yeah, I keep wondering that aswell - if someone has trouble remembering to enter their house, why not make the house into a place you want to enter? It might not be perfect place to handle everything without the glamour-dresser, but there are still plenty of things where a house can be really useful, so entering it once every 6 weeks should really come natural (at least for someone whos actively playing during that time).

I have a house on my main that I go into literally every day, and a Medium on an alt on another server I rarely use but always remember to keep the timer from counting down because I have every intention of maintaining control of the property long-term.

it's crazy to me that people can be active in-game and accidentally allow their only house to demolish.

Yeah. I mean it sucks, but IMO if someone is going 45 days without using the plot, even if they're still active in the game, it should be freed up for someone else to use.

Ideally we wouldn't need the system, but so long as wards are so limited, it's going to be required.

Now if there's an issue where going into the house doesn't reset the timer and someone has to interact with an npc, that specifically should get fixed. Not everyone using their house is using it for repair npcs etc.
