Purge the accounts that are not "Paying Customers" after 3 months.
That includes Houses, Items EVERYTHING that account held..even the lots he used on other servers.
If someone doesnt play for a few months because they are away for military or medical and as long as they continue to pay there account each month then leave them be ...BUT if they are not paying there account each month then PURGE them...
I'm growing really tired of this game and the amount of inactive Houses/Cities...
Soon Im going to just give up and move to another game that I get FAIR GAME PLAY.
DEVS: I want the same oppurtunities that others before me have had. I pay for the services just like they did. Why is it so diffucult to get rid of people who are NOT PAYING a monthly fee.
If you dont PAY....You dont Play...Im tired of paying for a game I can not get the same benefits as others have...to me your discriminationg against.
I WOULD LIKE A DEV OR A CSR TO COMMENT ON THIS THREAD..
ANSWER THIS: WHY CANY YOU PURGE ACCOUNTS OF PEOPLE NOT PAYING TO PLAY THE GAME ANYMORE.

How about leaving all the buildings in the city alone, but just cancelling their city status? This way people can place new cities, but the old buildings of removed city status are still there.
That doesn't help existing cities who need room for newer citizens. Something needs to be done, but it has to be done very carefully.

Right now my guild on Chilastra is trying to make a fresh start on Tatooine after a bad time with another guild cohabitation on rori.
We have over the limit of people needed for the shuttle but we cant get one cause Tat is capped. n right now we're behind 2 other cities waiting for others to loose their shuttles. n right now 3 cities that have shuttles on Tatooine have less than 55 active citizens combined. And we're like cmon. Most of those people r gone for good and the rest r ghost residents. Why is it that they get the joys of a shuttle while other cities that actually have active people in them suffer to deal without em.
Because the needs of active players are outweighed by people that have quit and been gone for several months.

Here is a BETTER IDEA, rather then purging all of a players stuff if they are inactive for60 days why not have all the buildings and properties turn into a Holo Chip. Then the player if they come back in game can use each holo chip to restore a building with all it's things inside. If the location is currently occupied the player can chose a new location to restore their building
This would allow room for new players to build cities and buidlings, it would allow folks that leave the game for 2 months or longer NOT to lose everything in their home or factroies.

The city cap existed for two apparant reasons....to facilitate a gathering into mutual cities and to limit lag on the server. The cap has done niether in my opinion. They need to double the cap. Period.

How about this...
After 3 months unpayed you are removed from the cities resident list.
After an account has been unpayed for 6 monthshouses become "Community Property" Matinancecan no longer be deposited into the house and Items can not be placed into it,but the Mayor and his/her Militia member can remove items and when the building is empty redeed the building. Harvesters and factories would be the same. No newschematicsand Harvesting and production stops.
For Houses not in a city. If you attempt to enter a house thats owned by somone who has not been paying for their account for 6 months or longer you recieve a notice that the house is abandoned.. that you are allowed to go into the building and take anything you like. When the house is empty it is automaticaly redeeded and put into the inventory of the person who picks up the last item.
Factories and Harvesters get the same notification.. you remove the items/resources/schematics in the factory/harvester anf it is automatically redeeded and placed into your inventory

Oh, Yes. The holochip one is a very good idea.. if its doable.
If not, I perfer the idea that the items and houses go for the good of the city. I know that in my city.. almost every house was given to the citizens freely by the citys mayor (who is also an arch)I would perfer that the deeds go back to teh guild/city and the items can be sold to create revinue for teh city
