it really has two sides to this one is that if you forget about a house on another server you wont loose all your stuff but the other one is that you will have houses of people who quit the game and will remain there forever and since they dont go poof cause of maintence its kinda a waste of good city space

I'm curious, why hasn't anyone from SOE made any statements, comments, or responses to our concerns about condemmed housing? Are they even listening?


This isn't the only thread with these concerns, there are numerous other threads as well, not one of them has a resonse from SOE to even say they are looking at this issue...







No coments from any dev on this issue


The only comment close was from JustG stating the character purge was going to enter "In Concept" and would be run "In a few months"


Translation from dev speak:


We have not designed it yet and we will probably run it a month after the CU goes live to get as many people back as possible.



But the character purge addresses only accounts cancelled for 6 months. So if you renew one month in 6 your house is there forever. Or if it is just left behind and you are playing on another server it is there forever.

Yes but people can take responsibility and place enough maintenence in their houses. If you don't log into a server for a long time chances are you werent doing much there anyway.


If you are still playing and care about your stuff on anotehr server having you log on periodically to ensure that you keep your stuff is not much to ask. you are reminded everytime you start the game you have a character on another server,

I still feel it's rediculous to cater to people who stopped paying and aren't playing the game anymore. I think all structures (miners, houses, factories, bases) should be destroyed after 30 - 90days of an account being cancelled. No need to delete the character or their bank items, but destroy all fixtures taking up lot space on planets. It's only fair to us folks who are here paying to play. SOE is trying to think up ways to get people to reactivate, maybe they should look at ways to get people to NOT cancel in the first place. Many people would continue to carry their subscriptions and pay for it, if they faced having to lose all their structures. Those people literally take advantage of the fact that they know they can cancel and come back after a few months. If they didn't have that option, and were faced with this, they most certainly would take the time and effort to pull up their belongings before cancelling their accounts. And truthfully, I think you woudl see a very DRASTIC DECREASE in account cancellations...
