He is saying he doesn't see why structures would be removed after 40 days unless it was the case of non-payment.
For instance: We had spent a whole day building an extra-awesome public taming pen and then when we went to show a new player how to use it... it had been demolished and a player, who ended up banned, had made a base there and since banned. We thought this was absolute crap as we had spent all that time building it, for it to have just been removed because we hadn't gone in render distance.
Hey Blizzard,
thanks for the explanation, now that i re-read it, it makes sense.
I dont understand who this banned player you keep referring to as no one has been banned from the whitelist cluster.
The server is designed to be casual, not "play occasionally", casual meaning playing on the weekends or after school, not login once, maybe twice a month... that's beyond casual, the 40 day limit (since last playing on the server) i feel is fair because its past the 30 day payment window, and if you dont see that structure within 40 days, you have another couple days then its removed by the server.
im not here to make money and try and get as many people to pay.. the server will then be clogged up with structures, there will be limited base locations, and then people will be complaining about all the random crap everywhere.
and its hard enough tracking who hasn't paid and following them up ... if you want to keep your stuff, log in and do something... its a game, its meant to be played... if you're just there to "maintain" stuff, then its no longer a game but a job....
I want people to have fun in a safe environment, i understand the loss of your structures, but a little bit of communication with fellow tribe mates could prevent this stuff, please don't blame me for it.
if you whitelisters want the demolish timer removed, make it be known...
