    Free Company Issue / Wrong Ownership

    Thank you in advance for looking at our issue.

    We created a Free Company but we had to leave the game for some time.

    We came back and now someone else is the Leader of the FC. We've tried to contact them but we can't add or actually catch them online. Every time they get on, it takes them 10 minutes to actually disconnect. We've been like this for more than a week with no progress, so now we are resorting to some help.

    We are not looking to kick them out, but we want to be able to manage our FC as we used to do.

    My buddy, Ideas Ds, and I, created this FC named Katz Rebellion <<Katz>> and we ALWAYS use the same name in every game we play. We have evidence if needed. There's also evidence of the things we modified on the FC when we created it.

    We just want to fix this issue as cleanly as possible, please help.

    Unfortunately, that's a function of the FC system, if the FC leader is away from the game for more than 30-35 days, as in, based on their last login (I'm unsure of the exact number, but it's somewhere in that ballpark), then ownership of the FC automatically transfers to another member, based on both their rank in the FC (it will transfer to an officer or someone with the next most active responsibilities), how often they've logged into the game, and when they last logged in (within that 30-35 day period).

    There is no way to stop this or override it sadly other than trying to ensure you can login at least once every 28 days or so, or, if you know you're going to be out of the game for an extended period, transfer ownership to someone you trust inherently that you know will not shut down the FC or make changes/sell of the house if you have one, is active enough to not lose ownership themselves, and will return ownership back to you willingly when you return. Of course this has risk in itself, but there isn't any other way around it I'm sorry to say.

    SE implemented this due to many FC leaders disappearing and never returning and people in FCs being unable to take over administrative tasks of it (such as claim ownership of an FC house or make changes/invite others to them) - personally I feel the timer needs to be increased to 2-3 months, but alas SE has said nothing on that subject from what I understand.

    Unfortunately there is nothing you can do except continue to try to contact that person and see if they could transfer ownership back to you. Failing that, you could just cut your losses and leave it and create a whole new one, mindful of the ownership timer if you need to take time away from the game for an extended period - SE or a GM sadly will not be able to help as they would just repeat the information above either I'm pretty sure.

    Doesn't matter. It's their fc now. As per the games rules. The gms will do nothing, because technically they'd be in the wrong.


    And he does that to keep his position in the fc. If he didn't want it, he'd have left by now.

    The GM's probably won't get involved because there hasn't been any overt harassment. Automatic leader transferal due to inactivity is a normal function of the system working as intended. If you can't contact the new leader and convince them to relinquish control, you'll need to create a new one and rank back up if you want your own FC again.

    I'd advise you against tracking down the guy's main account, or for that matter, calling his alt account out on the forums. Since then you'd be in the wrong and actions could be taken against you.

    You should edit that post and remove the name. Naming and Shaming are frowned aproned here.

    Potentially if there is a house associated to the FC they're using it for their own personal housing or may think to sell the FC in the future. More light hearted idea might be they just log in log out and don't pay attention to your messages, particularly if they haven't kicked you out already as that'd be a sign "it's theirs and they've no interested in sharing". As everyone said though that individual has done nothing against the rules, from what you've said so far at least, so there isn't a way that you can force them to give it back.
