Automatic Home Demolition is Resuming!!

Thank god, get those people who unsubbed and are trying to hold onto multiple houses outta here. Pay like the rest of us or stop holding onto the house for someone who would use it.

So SE's XIV profits are dipping and they need some incentive to keep those subs going? I guess we should have bought more mogstation items. :/

Finally, jeez. My ward still has a few actives thankfully, but I did notice that every single person who won the lottery since that system started in my ward specifically-none of them wound up using the house. None of them, not one of them. I'm a nosy neighbor I visit mines often, so I was keeping track lol. I don't even think those people logged in again after winning. Not one furnishing, not one outdoors thing. Just a basic bare bones glade exterior and a dead gloomy house. So yes, I'm personally looking forward to it.

Would love to see people actually winning and moving in excitedly using houses again instead of winning them and leaving them to rot for a year simply because they can.

About time. Now here's hoping they do this every time there's a big problem out there in the world since they set the precedent for that.

SE's logic seems to be to encourage taking breaks but still continuing to pay them money.

That's exactly their logic. It's clever in one way. You pay SE a subscription, but they don't need to provide long term content with good replay value, you're meant to pay another company for entertainment on top. Then SE tell you they do it out of concern for your health and free time and are praised for it.

Similar with the housing. Plenty of posts here saying "good, I'm glad SE is starting to smash players houses again!" without any expectation of instanced housing or better availability, even though SE are the ones who decided on Wards in the first place and stubbornly stuck to the system for the last decade despite being limited by server space.

But why...?

It's not like we'll be struggling with housing vacancies with the new data centers/worlds, not to mention 1,800 new plots in 6.3.

are they adding 1800 new plots to every server?

This is good, although it would have been nice to let people take up abandoned houses before the holidays. It's fun to decorate when there are less other things to do in game.

That was only a line fed to the XIV simps lol, anyone with a brain realized it was bullshit from the get go

Yes. That was one of the notes in the previous LL.

You make it sound like it would be such an easy and flawless transition, when it likely isn't. The data for the outside and inside spaces don't even exist in the same server space.

Hmm...might have a chance to upgrade my FC house from a small sooner than I had though...if RNGesus decides to allow it.
