I understand the reasons behind implementing the limits on houses. My question is, if I own more than 4 houses and for whatever reason someone decides to remove a house because I'm over the limit, how do you decide which house(s) are going to be deleted? Will more focus be towards empty plots or less-used homes vs. homes being used and filled with loot?
Also, regarding the idoc decay, I guess this means we can't go on 2 weeks of vacation without worrying about losing our houses? Sure, some people can get a friend to refresh, but I can see issues with this ( don't trust anybody in game, reluctance to rely on in-game friends who may forget to refresh, etc).
I jsut get the feeling that these two changes will reduce the active population over time because player's houses could get removed indiscriminately or their houses will drop due to the shorter decay period because of not being able to refresh their houses at times. Overall, could lead to people just deciding to quit vs trying to restart.
