Interested in knowing more about Plot Reclamation, then read on:

What is Plot Reclamation?
Plot reclamation is the process by which we will reclaim plots from inactive subscriptions and auction them back to the active community.

Why do we have Plot Reclamation?
We are doing this because there are many plots that the community worked hard to build and now they lay unused or inaccessible. We want to give all of our active players a chance to claim a piece of Istaria and continue to build their community.

Who is affected by Plot Reclamation?
Plot reclamation will affect inactive subscriptions or those active players with more plots then subscriptions. Each player's Horizons account can have one or more subscriptions and each subscription entitles a player to plot ownership in Horizons – multiple subscriptions does entitle multiple plot ownership. Any subscription that becomes inactive reduces the number of plots that can be owned and an email will be sent to the owner of the accounts who own more plots than their number of subscriptions allows. This email explains that the number of plots exceeds the number of active subscriptions. The player needs to either add or reactivate a subscription, or sell off their extra plots. The email provides a time frame for this action. If nothing is done, plots will be randomly selected and auctioned back to the community so that the number of plots owned by an account matches the number of subscriptions.

How is the Plot Reclamation process done?
Each community across Istaria will start plot auctions one or more times per month immediately following a scheduled maintenance. Once a plot has been reclaimed, it will be put up for auction to the community. Each auction will last for about 4-5 days. We will announce which communities are coming up for auction with the date and time for the beginning of the auction on the community forums. The Message of the Day for each shard will also include announcements pertinent to the auctions. All structures will be left intact and the plot will be sold exactly as it is seen now in the community. Bids can only be made if the bidding character is within the boundaries of the community where the plot is located.

PLEASE NOTE:
Guild plots are handled separately: We reclaim primary guild plots that are associated with inactive accounts by contacting the guild in question to make arrangements for retaining guild property with the current and active guild leader.
If you are in a situation where you have a plot that will be reclaimed, there are several things you can do:

1) You may add one or more subscriptions to your account so that the number of subscriptions is equal to the number of plots you currently have.
2) You may add one or more subscriptions to your account until the number of subscriptions you have is equal to the number of plots you wish to keep and sell the remaining plots.
3) You may keep your current number of subscriptions and sell the remaining plots.

Here are a few examples:
Scenario #1:
You previously had one subscription and that subscription is inactive.
You had one plot.
Re-subscribe before the auctions take place and you will retain that plot. Do nothing and that plot will be automatically auctioned.
Scenario #2:
You previously had two subscriptions but only one subscription is active at this time.
You have one plot.
Since you have one active subscription, you are entitled to own one plot. Your plot will not be auctioned.
Scenario #3:
You previously had two subscriptions but only one subscription is active at this time.
You have two plots.
Since you only have one active subscription, you are only entitled to own one plot. You must sell one of your plots prior to the auction and the other plot will be left intact.
If you own more plots than your account has subscriptions, Plot Reclamation Maintenance will automatically select the appropriate number of plots and put them up for auction. The plots selected for auction is random.
