Power Went Out Due To Windstorm - Missed Housing

I am so mad. I spent a full week grinding for the gil to buy a house and the power gets knocked out here by windstorms.

FIX YOUR HOUSING. I shouldn't be screwed out of any chance I could have had because of the dang weather. It's not my fault that Washington State would have a windstorm.

This is beyond unfair. Make housing available for everyone. The limited plot service isn't working.

and it's so rare to have heavy wind out here too! Did you hear that thunder early this morning!?

Actually this tends to happen every year or so. And yes! My poor husky was crying in my arms. I had to hold him so that we could fall back asleep.

Plenty of time to lose any chance lol. So don't feel too bad over your windstorm. The servers itself make it unfair and unreliable even if you take all precautions and steps to speed up boot time

Sorry if you were inferring you didn't, but did you get the house you wanted at least? Was hoping for a happy ending lol.

If you did then congratulations :).

Depends what world. Malboro has a small selection of cottages here and there, but no med or large.

No reason to be mad because there was no guarantee that if the power had not gone out you would have gotten a house.

At least I would have had a chance. ;_;

Most large and medium houses are usually gone within a minute (literally 60 seconds) the moment patches are up. And SE still thinks there is nothing wrong with this system.

Ahh yes, a balumgian wanting a house. If you weren't in the start of the queue already you wouldn't have had a chance to begin with to be blunt.

Same, though I had a server lobby error and then the launcher refused to work after crashing. By the time I got in there was a 1.6k queue. That was my only chance to get a medium on Balmung.
