At the start of last year I had already had a house, and had been in that house for like 2 years. in December my IRL house burned down, and so I could no longer play (obviously), a few days later they decided it was time to reintroduce the auto demo. yay me.

months later, now that I am back in a stable place and trying to get back into the housing, i come to find that the housing has gotten much worse on my server, I've already lost 3 houses I tried camping at.
Sorry to hear that you've had to go through all of that. The housing system is botch and trying to get a house on a populated server is nigh impossible. This forum will likely offer you little reprieve or sympathy so, probably best to just not subject yourself to further demoralization in it. Best bet is to just wait for Ishgard Housing and try to get one on patch day. It'll save you a lot of heartache and frustration.
