Final Fantasy XIV Halts Housing Demolitions Amidst LA Wildfires
Square Enix has temporarily suspended automatic housing demolition timers in Final Fantasy XIV on North American servers due to the ongoing wildfires in Los Angeles. This affects players on the Aether, Primal, Crystal, and Dynamis data centers.
The decision comes just one day after the company resumed these timers following a previous suspension related to Hurricane Helene's aftermath. The 45-day demolition timers, designed to free up housing plots from inactive players, are automatically paused by Square Enix in response to major real-world events impacting player accessibility. Players can still reset their timers by logging into their homes.
This latest pause, effective January 9th, 11:20 PM Eastern, has no set end date. Square Enix will continue to monitor the situation and provide an update on when the timers will resume. The company expressed sympathy for players affected by the wildfires.
The impact of the wildfires extends beyond the game; Critical Role postponed a major event, and an NFL playoff game was relocated. This unexpected interruption adds to an already eventful start to 2025 for Final Fantasy XIV players, who also recently benefited from a free login campaign.
Key Points:
- Suspension: Automatic housing demolitions paused on Aether, Primal, Crystal, and Dynamis data centers.
- Reason: Ongoing Los Angeles wildfires affecting player accessibility.
- Timing: Pause initiated one day after the previous moratorium ended.
- Update: Square Enix will announce the resumption of timers once conditions allow.
