you guys make it sound like such a chore to run back to your house... its your house, shouldnt you be there at least sometimes anyways?

I think giving people 5 days of bonus time on their already late rent is a bit much... especially if someone else is waiting to buy that property you are going delinquent on... maybe 5 days for you to pay up but in that time its buyable by someone else?

So you can Either A.) Dump vast sums of money into your house maintenance fund when you might need or want that money for something else and can't take it back out...

Or B.) Get to enjoy the experience of losing your house because you ended up working late OOC and fell into bed rather than logging on to manually pay your virtual rent to an OOC system programmed into your door rather than due to actual IC events.

To put this into perspective. Imagine if you had to log in and manually push a button every so often or else your inventory is wiped. All your items gone. Sure it's not hard, but if something comes up OOC, you shouldn't be punished for a pet getting sick, or a family emergency, or for our younger players being forced into some sort of family get together.

There's all kinds of legit reasons for Eternia to take a back burner and it doesn't make one lick of sense to punish people for OOC events or force them to expend a ton of effort to guard against them.
