Online houses in Square Enix's MMO won't be demolished in North America after 45 days of inactivity
Due to the destruction and power outages caused by Hurricane Helene hitting the United States, Square Enix has temporarily paused a feature in its popular MMORPG Final Fantasy 14 that demolished player homes if they didn’t log in frequently enough. Last week, category 4 Hurricane Helene hit the southern United States hard, leading to flooding, billions of dollars in damage, and over 160 confirmed deaths.
Normally, after 45 days of inactivity, a player’s in-game house would be demolished so that cyber plot of land could be grabbed by someone else on the server. “From all of us on the FFXIV development and management team, our hearts go out to those who were affected late last month by Hurricane Helene in North America,” posted Square Enix. “Due to the damages and other factors, we have decided to temporarily suspend the automatic demolition of estates.
