No, but about every 6 months, Staff deletes old accounts causing old houses to fall.

Hmm, what is IDOC again?

If you mean when do houses drop, then here's the answer:
Houses are kept intact until the account exists. Once the account is deleted, all the houses of that account are demolished and the items fall to the ground. Accounts are usually deleted due to inactivity.

If you have less than 1 hour total gametime on your account, it would get deleted after 1 month of inactivity.
If you have less than 10 hours total gametime on your account, it would get deleted after 2 months of inactivity.
If you have less than 100 hours total gametime on your account, it would get deleted after 3 month of inactivity.
If you have more than 100 hours total gametime on your account, it would get deleted after 6 month of inactivity.

Of course, let's say it's already been 6 months and your account is inactive, that doesn't mean it gets deleted that exact minute. We make an inactive account wipe about every 2 months, it's a kind of event where people can pick up things from the ground where houses used to be.

IDOC = In danger of Collapsing

When you say "total gametime on your account" are you referring to played time or account age?

Awesome.

So just to make sure I understand this before I place a house (Because my work requires travel and I might run into situtations where I will be gone for extended periods of time).

Let's say I have 200 hours gameplay time and I place a house today. If I do not log into my account for 6 months, then my house will disappear and my account will be deleted.

Will this system change in the future (Any plans of change)?

I love this system for house decay. That means I do not have to worry about IDOC anymore. Another A+ for this server :dance

What about boats?
