Please.

Or they could test out the house pack-up feature that they are working on in Test Center where players can pack a house into their datapad without losing any objects.

It could also work for players who are no longer in the game.

People keep their stuff and the planet gets some prime real estate back. Sounds like a win-win situation to me.

Hopefully the structure will pack itself up long before it becomes condemned - I have homes in my city owned by known terminated accounts that had millions in their bank accounts so they are unlikely to ever become condemned in he life of the game!

Better to pack up a house upon account expiry - no need for a grace period as the owner does not lose anything other than the plot of land. This encourages people to keep their subscription up which can only be seen as good from SOE's point of view

I think that a house should stay up as long as it has mainatnace in it and/or the account is still active.

a) It should be packedafter the maintainance runs outon an inactive account.

or

b) When a house gets condemed (even on an active account) as the player most likely switched to another server.

This should cover most cases, but will also allow players to keep everything in place when they have to terminate the account for a month or two, as they can simply add maintanance for 3 month and the house will still be there when they come back after a two month break.

It should be packed up. End of story. Rain on the inactives, let'm go poof, TYPICALLY (not always the case) it is lot farming or the person simply quit. We should be burdened while they are gone? I would have to disagree in this instance. But in the end the person that left might have to bite the bullet as opposed to the "active player base. Far too long we have suffered these foo.....err wonderful people

I'm behaving myself as I don't wanna get rebanned for a second time in a week.

I think polititians should have the ability to pack up houses FOR citizens, so that people don't go around screwing up the layout of towns!!!

This is not Sim City, I don't think polititians should be able to pack up houses for others. Just think about that in RL, the Mayor of your town comes by and says: "good, we move your house now !..."

I actually know most of the citizens in twon and some of them took a break in between, that doesn't mean I want there houses removed. So personally I think it must be a correct balance and removing houses from inactive accounts doesn't address any lot swap problems anyway, as the account itself might still be active, just not on this Server.

Hehe the funny this is that with eminent domain, RL mayors CAN do that.

I have always said if they are not going to let the dead houses in a city explode they should give the Mayor the option to remove it from the city. But I like the idea of the house packing up and being place int he person inventory better. That way if the person does return to the game they have their stuff. Yes get rid of the houses and what every they have this way for accounts that have expired or been closed. But for the ones that have gone to other servers or where on other servers let those stay as long as some one is paying on the building or strutures every few month. People have friends that are on others sevrers that have placed storage house and Harvesters down for their friend on this server.

I worked very hard to build my city and have many active players who have looked forward to the shuttleport that we should now have. I am very disappoint that I can not place it becuase there are to many large cities on the planet and I know a lot of the cities are dead. There is little hope of city growth as long as this remains a problem and who is going to wish to make and buidl cities if that is true? Perge the the cities of thier dead houses give the little guys their chance of growing and becoming something I say.
