THEY STOLE MY HOUSE!!

[Jojoya]

Why do I feel like this is a sarcastic parody of the other thread?

(checks OP's post history).

Oh.

Just in case you're being honest, I'm sorry you were in the hospital. Your health is far more important than pixels in a game. There will be other opportunities to get another house. Make sure you visit the Resident Caretaker to reclaim your gil and furnishings if you haven't already.

If you decide not to renew your subscription, I hope you have a good time in your new game(s) of choice.

One the one hand, that sucks, and I'm sorry it happened to you.

On the other hand, you had every opportunity to avoid this. You were in the hospital for 4 days. Autodemo takes 45.

I'd suggest you learn from this and just try to be more proactive in the future regarding anything important to you.

[tsuchii]

the auto-demolition was designed to remove housing from players that don't interact with them. i'm sorry you were hospitalised but you had more time before that, so I disagree calling it bad business. 45 dayts should be enough.

it's okay you're gonna have more chances to get one back. then maybe next time you can give it more attention.

[Divinemights]

45 days demolition is a joke when you put a repair NPC inside your house and use it to repair your gear

Therefore it is quite difficult for me to sympathy for OP

[Final-Fantasy]

It's not stealing, it is a system feature.

This is what happens when you don't Maintain your House.

You won't miss the House, as you seem to have forgot you had one to begin with.

I was able to get the exact Plot that I wanted after watching it sit unused for over one year-thanks to Auto Demolition, I look forward to the previous owner visiting to see how good it looks now that I own it and use it on a daily basis.
Auto Demolition is my favorite feature.

Why am I picturing someone ripping out their IV to run home and stop their game house from auto-demoing?

Sounds like a dedicated player!

GM's wouldn't have been able to prevent the auto-demolition. It would have been 45 days since you last entered your house. I'm sorry you had a hospitalization as the cause but there's no stopping it unless SE stops it for everyone in the region.
Their lack of ability to assist you wouldn't be a poor way to conduct business, that's just how the game is.

Read my post the auto delete is 45 days the notification to demolish was 15. I was in the hospital for 4 days --they email was sent on the 18th and they demolished the house on the 20th, so when I got back home on the 20th my house was gone.

[Aedria]

And on the 10th you should also have received a mail, and on the 5th it should have notified you ingame already.

You had more warnings, and they are given early for that very same reason you missed your last mail. Sounds entirely like your own fault

I received nothing

You didn't lose your house because of a missing email, though, it happened because you didn't enter it for 45 days. Your timers tab in game had a notification 15 days prior. The active help window for housing points to the resident caretaker NPC who has this information, and it can also be read in various patch notes and the housing guide outside of the game.

I was in the hospital for 4 days.

Was it scheduled? As in: you knew at least 1 day ahead of that, that you were going there? If so, still your fault even without initial warning mail. You already should have entered it at that point. Because complications in a hospital can happen. Imagine those 4 days became 20? Dont take risks.

If it wasnt scheduled. Then you had bad luck on that part. But even then, you werent regularly visiting your house anyway. Which is still your mistake. You could have easily scheduled it in such way you would enter your house once a week.

The mails are there for convenience, but mail is unreliable (as you witnessed now). The ingame timer is still the best one to go with. And its your own task to maintain it.

The only case where i would agree would be if you had a car crash and ended up in the hospital for a month in which at least 3 weeks you werent able to talk. You could otherwise have arranged a backup laptop to be able to log in and enter the house (even if the game runs 5fps, thats not relevant at that pint). But its highly unlikely that this happens. You are rarely in a hospital for over a week.
And even in that exception case, you are going to face the same issue as when a band would play a live concert in your country. You will miss out on it and there is no way to recover that.
