Demolition Timers should be adjusted

Six months isn't a break , it's a hiatus.

Most people within a united states get a week off for PTO if you youre even offered PTO. 7 to 14 days at most for irl. 91 to 180 days to not login to NOT utilize your plof is excessive when their isnt enough for to go around as it is.

Oh damn. I didn't know we had the god of fucking break downtime over here. Enlighten me, great one. What is the proper term for 2 years of not doing something? A decade? Humble me with your knowledge. Fuck the definition of the word altogether, we have the GOD DAMN EXPERT HERE.

Paying a sub is all you should need. This enter the house in 45 days is a load of.... I enter mine frequently but still shouldn't be necessary for anyone paying to play this game. End your sub well then the timer should kick in, in my opinion although I think 3 months is more reasonable in my view.

The whole idea of demolition is to recapture houses from those who QUIT the game and I fully support that.

How to word it.. Like so here's the thing, technically XIV doesn't require you to have a subscription to keep you plot, which in itself is the proverbial "slack in the line" If I unsubscribe, and let my sub lapse. My house will still continue to stand despite my subscription being lapsed as long as it has been checked in every other month and a week, give or take. But even if my subscription is active, I will lose it if I do not utilize it. Sidestepping the "paying member argument" as "non payers" are held to the same standard as "payers" A subscription isn't the criteria to keep your plot, its utilization.

"The whole idea of demolition is to recapture houses from those who QUIT the game and I fully support that."

The whole idea of demolition is to recapture ABANDONED/UNUSED plots, and those who QUIT also fall under both criteria. But an active subscription user who also abandons or doesn't utilize their plot within a reasonable time-frame falls under that criteria as well. Doesn't matter if your sub is active or not. You need to utilize your plot. If not, apartments are a better option if you wanna set it an forget it.

I don't agree. Paying a sub is all that should be needed. Will they change it doubt it but in my view that doesn't make it right for people who are playing this game and supporting it. You're entitled to your view and that atm is what the devs support but those of us who don't agree can continue to express our view.

Had a friend today dm me she had 3 of her houses under demolition warning with no email. She has a slew of alts on multiple DC's. At the very least if they are going to do what they do they need to get their act together and make sure users are notified by email. That notification should also include an in game warning in chat if you are logged into the game.

They've at least added an in game warning if you enter your garden and not the house proper.

Given you've start before I did. How was your view from the outside looking in when demo timers didn't exist? Were you ok with plots were were abandoned for months on end with no ability to obtain it? I was one of the people very much in favor of freeing up UNUSED plots. Nobody said "Only Non Subscribers plot" The message was UNUSED/Abandoned plots needs to be free up. So here I am, standing on business. Because I asked for the demo timer like so many others to free up unused plots from those who abandoned them. Am I going to ask for the rules to be changed because "I got mine" now?


Im fine with more ways of warnings, but even getting a warning is telling to the amount of use your house is getting.

I have no problem with a demo timer for those who quit playing the game and is something that the company should do. Anyone who has quit the game and my friends list is a testimony to those who are long gone. However, given the length of the patch cycles and the fact that people do stop playing because of a lack of content to take a BREAK and play other games that demo timer should at the least match up with patch cycles. I would suggest a 3 month limit not 45 days to be more reasonable and should ONLY APPLY to those who have stopped paying a sub. As it stands right now the 45 days is nothing more that a way to hold people hostage and keep them subbed.

You unsub the housing timer kicks in. If you return by renewing your sub the timer resets. Pretty simple actually.

And I might add that I've never stopped paying my sub which at the current time auto renews every 3 months. I also own houses on Aether, Crystal, Dynamis, Chaos, Light, Mana and Materia. Alts owning those houses are all end game level 100 characters and keep me pretty busy especially with new patches.

If a player feels retaining the house is worth paying the subscription without complaint, that's fine. You're making the choice to pay for that access and retention.

The ones that annoy me are the ones who complain their house is tying them to the game and subscription.

If you don't want to be tied to the game, let go of the house. Not letting go of it makes it sound like you're choosing to stay in an abusive relationship when there's nothing blocking your way from leaving it.

It's an emotional investment towards a virtual house in a videogame you're disinterested in playing. If you wanna save money, don't renew. If you want to keep your plot, then keep your sub active and check into it every now and again.
