Demolition Timers should be adjusted

Demolition timers should be less, not more.

I've been fighting for a mansion (large) house for 10+ years. People who aren't enjoying the daily fun of furniture building should let someone else have their fun.

I mean yes. But also any house will do now days. Seeing how when they release that mirage thing where small interiors will be massive ( large ) ones.

I think 3 months is fair. It would probably cause them to lose an insanely huge chunk of players for 3 months at a time though, so I'm not sure they'd ever do that. 1 month, they can keep people on a tight leash. 3 months? We just saw what 6 months of no-demolition did. It freed up thousands of plots, because so many people took an extended break and then decided they were over XIV completely, lol.

Aye it would basically mean everyone would vanish once they are done with the current patch content.

In World of Warcraft, auto-demolition happens a certain amount of time after your subscription lapses, but I can't find any hard info on exactly when. However, your layout is saved, and when you log back in, you simply need to choose a new plot (Far easier than in FFXIV), and the house will be instantly restored/rebuilt with all progress and customization as it was.

We could have something like this, at least for the interiors, since those are instanced. If we had a fully instanced system, but indoor and outdoor could be saved. Auto-demo would be much like WoW has done: no need to collect your furnishings and start over, just pick a new plot and click to restore your layouts.

Only thing is we just have the wards. We don’t have a fully instanced system that could support this, and you can’t just “get a new plot” in the wards due to lack of supply in a permanently loaded neighborhood. I hope at the very least, they eventually create personal instanced housing plots, if only to supplement the lack of supply in the wards.
