The housing purge will begin in chapter 6!

This is from one of the DEV's

"The housing purge will begin in chapter 6 but will only become highly visible a month later. Basically all houses not used for 1+ years will be flagged as abandoned soon and then if their owner does nothing to them for a month, they will be coming down. The method and content related to the houses being packed up will be a surprise though"

    I havent been back for very long, but Yippy!! Now if they make it so its tied to the account and if the account is inactive, aka canceled it decays as well.  Dont know why it took so long, I mean the company isnt afraid of pissing off its player base hehe.

    What would be sort of cool is if they flagged them as abandoned and then allowed Imperial players to go around and destroy them (pack them up).  That might be sort of fun.

    Methods like that were discussed in one of Helios threads.

    I think they'll give us some cool way to take them out.

    yeah they seriously need to get rid of those houses.

    Problem is that a lot of people (both current and possible returning people) are using friend's houses and factories for storage that may not be active accounts.

    I forsee a day when many people log in only to find that much of their stuff has disappeared due to it being in someone else's structures.

  • ZorvanZorvan Member CommonPosts: 8,912

    If they are currently playing and using an abandoned account for storage, they have been given ample warning. If they don't do something with their stuff, tough.

    In fact, I consider using the property of someone who doesn't play an exploit and it should be demolished anyway.

    Not to sound unsympathetic, but anyone who is relying on a canceled players structures for storage right now is taking their chances in my book.  I think warning should be given, but aren't thousands of "Pack up the houses" threads on the game forums enough already?

    But, some will whine even if you send a real life Western Telegraph man and got a signed knowledge disclosure.

    I am interested to see the landscape change after this happens...  I remember the intial land grab, and am curious to see what opens up, what cities are affected, etc.

    Not soon enough.

    when i left the game, i removed all harvesters and factories, removed all structures of any type.  deleted all toons.  only then did i hit the cancel buttons (multiple accounts).  proud to say that i am not part of the current abandoned structure problem, you're all welcome.  and btw, the game still sucks.

    the only reason they are doing this is to make the server merges easier.

    This is the best news I've heard for a very long time, I'm really annoyied running around these "ghost towns" and try to find any vendor who got something to sell.  Jump to lightspeed is still fun :)

    about damn time, a great suggestion would to be increase the max storage on the houses and destroy the old clutter.

    THAT would be fricken' awesome!!

    I just wish they'd let us pillage the houses and take what we want before they go BOOM!!! I'm sure all those nice pre-cu criers have some nice stuff those of us who play could use.

  • Itho4LifeItho4Life Member Posts: 3
    Well its good to see that they are taking steps for improvement. The housing purge and server merges should come first imo. Then they need to work on fixing the plethora of bugs and the lag problem. Finally they need to revamp the professions (desperately in need of more diversity), and the current piece of crap GCW system.
  • CrueltylizerCrueltylizer Member UncommonPosts: 58
    Maybe this is for the merge of the servers?



    Which is kinda needed so the servers doesnt look so empty.

  • SuvrocSuvroc Member Posts: 2,383

    I wonder if SOE has really put much thought into preventing a need for a purge again in the future?

    With many old cities going poof overnight undoubtedly there will be a rush for people to get their current cities as high as possible. What will prevent cities from being falsely inflated with temporary accounts and cross-server lot trades AGAIN?

    The extra storage deed helped me.

    Chapter 6 isn't on TC yet but there's a lot of new stuff in there and shouldn't be rushed out.

    Chapter 5.3 just went live.
