Cheers, let's return to the old way, no maintenance, home, guild hall, structures decay then go poof. If you are leaving the game or taking a break from the game and do not have the courtesy or common sense to pack up your stuff and store it, then it is your loss.

Unfortunately since this is a non-combat issue it will get relegated to the back burned until the Jedi start tohitch and moan about it.

Maybe we should surround the village with burning harvesters.....

Well they finally ran off this paying customer...I am now in the progress of selling off stuff, then I will be packing up and will cancel my nine accounts. I have tried everything to get a response or to get the problem fixed including picking up my beloved city and moving to another planet.

They won't listen on the dancers problems....or anything or any suggestions we make. Every stinking patch is more like another death chop to the game. Now dancers can no longer buff themselves...well, that got me into thinking it was time to quit. I used to enjoy all aspects of the game till they managed to nerf the fun right out it with each patch and neglect. So will spend today putting up my unique items on my vendors then when sold I am so out of here.

I think they're hurting for subscriptions and don't want to chase off anyone that might possibly come back to the game after being away for any extended period of time no matter how long that might be.

Hasn't it been long enough? This issue concerning condemmed housing has been going on for many months, and still not one CSR or developer has addressed the issue, or even responded to the many threads on this issue. It's a valid issue, and an important one, yet it keeps getting ignored, why?

I'm tired of dodging hundreds of factories sitting in a field burning up, tired of dodging many many condemmed houses, sick of the lag, and the eyesore of it all. Go out of theed just a short distance and it's horrible, the landscape is littered with burning miners, and condemmed structures. Would Lucas be impressed? I think not

This "pack up feature" does NOT address the issue of all the condemmed housing, however it does address the issue that condemmed housing was trying to address. The reason this whole condemmed housing feature was implimented was to try an lure old customers back to the game, with promises that your goods would still be here. Now with this new feature when people leave they can pack up. Ok, good deal, good idea sony. NOW, stop catering to the non paying player base, and start thinking about those who are playing to play, and start thinking about the quality of the game you charge us for. Having all these comdemmed structures is the stupidest idea you ever came up with. Get rid of them, PLEASE!!!!

Take us back to the days where if the maint ran out, it went into decay, and once it reached zero..POOF, it's GONE. Why should we care if the owner comes back in a year? They certainly didn't care about their stuff when they cancelled their accounts did they?

We don;t need a charcater purge to get rid of this stuff, what we need is to go back to the days when stuff poofed after the decay process!!!!!! If someone loses stuff, TOO FREAKING BAD, they now have teh option to "pack up" when they leave, so there is no esxcuse, and NO NEEDE for condemmed structures anymore!

Please, for the love of god, get rid of them, and do it SOON, no more procrastinating! It was a stupid idea to begin with, and there is no shame in saying ooops, we shouldnt have done that, we are gonna go back to the old way. Infact admitting that mistake would bring ya's up a notch in my eyes

the new pack up option should auto pack up houses and the like when an item starts deducting maint from bank

With the new "pack up" feature, why not go one step further to help clean up the landscape/open space for those ACTUALLY playing the game. After say a month (?), the condemed structure is automatically "packed up" and placed in the players' (and I use that term very loosely -seeing ashow they AREN'T playing) safe deposit box. This action automatically opens the lot on which the structure was placed. This keep the owner (if they ever do start to play again) happy as they haven't lost thier stuff AND it makes real, day to day players happy because valuable real estate is again open up for use.

It's a win-win situation. (Granted the original owner loses his space,but them's the breaks for being away for months on end - if they ever return at all!)
