Thank you for the heads-up.

How would u read this?
Im not sure if it means at a later date than 6.11 or if it mean at a later date than today?

"To ensure the lottery system is fully stable, however, the related fixes and data restoration will not be included in Patch 6.11, but will instead be implemented in a separate maintenance at a later date"

It will be seperate from Patch 6.11, and not part of it. I'm sure many will scream that housing isn't fixed after the patch that has nothing to do with the housing patch, lol.

They need to be sure it's working right before patching it. They can't afford another mess up.

Yeah, I can seriously see that happening lol

This is a positive update. I'm glad to see they're taking such care to address fixes and clearly communicating that it may take more time than originally thought, as such things often do. For me, simply knowing they have records, and probably back-ups of back-ups of those records, available and will apply the correct data to the housing server when the time comes is sufficiently comforting to make the wait easy. I'd much, much, rather wait an extra week or so on top of the current wait time if it means the results are properly applied.

I've waited for years, what's another week or two?

Indeed. I'm sure everyone would agree that we all want to see them do this right. Not holding my breath for it, but hopeful. I'd rather they take the time and fix it rather than band-aid it. They have other issues that need to be addressed with housing, and hope they take the next steps for it as well (shell FC, instancing, etc. - long shot I know).
