SE,
You have the ability to give the people who rightfully won the lottery their house. Do so and make them pay for it again.
Do not raise your hands, hotfix the generator, and make everyone go through the lottery again. Many people and FCs were the only participants for their plot and lost. This is an issue of your creation, many, many, many of us have waited for years for a chance to get a house only to have what would be a guaranteed, legitimate, win taken from us.
If a player or FC were the only ones to bid on the plot and lost it to the bug, guarantee that they can purchase that plot.
If multiple players were bidding on a plot, re-run the number generator with ONLY THOSE PLAYERS who participated in the first run.
DO NOT make a quick fix to the generator system and make everyone go through the lottery again.

This is ridiculous.
I'm the only one who participated on this plot and I still lost? 6.1 is turning out to be one right royal mess. I don't want the refund, I want the plot that I entered the lottery on.
EDIT: image didn't upload.
Love the "may you have better luck in the future!" part of the message just to rub salt into the wound. -
04-17-2022, 01:21 AMYandeBunnyAgreed!
There was only three people at my plot and we all lost to this bug "0". I am not accepting my refund and I don't believe we should have to wait another ENITRE week to only have more participants enter and ruin those who waited patiently for fair results of a winner. I just wanted to upgrade our FC from a small to a Medium. Is that too much to ask for even though the odds were against me against two other people?
I am very livid about this. -

I wish I hadn't taken the refund just to be safe, but I'm not so flush with gil that losing 8 mil on a fix taking longer than I have to get the refund wouldn't hurt.

It would be very shocking if they couldn't see who did what and where. -

EDIT: For anyone who's interested, this has just appeared in the in-game support tickets menu under "News"

04-17-2022, 02:19 AMIllmaeranThe in-game bug report was being written two minutes after the lottery closed, that's how long it took to check both of my characters and determine both were affected. The forum bug repot went up not much later.Quote:

In my case , I was the only bidder on a private, and my FC mate was the only bidder on a FC house so we both won by default.
They should be able to see this and award us with out plot, if we have to re-do the lotto its just totally unfair.
In the case of the unlucky people who have had plots with multiple people bidding....... well im not sure where the error is, but it seems to me no matter if there was 3 or 33 bidders the rng has selected "0" as the winner in every case.
Which would tell me that there is none of this 0 add 1 or whatever people are saying, because its not like if only 6 people entered and "0" was included that person 5 won where it should of been 6, NO ONE has won.
So they then need to take all the people who bid on the plot and generate a rng roll for those people and whoever wins wins, which is exactly what would of happened if implemented correctly. -

Theorizing that this was there intention, the coders are not to blame, but the promotional/editors are to blame for this false advertisement to the community.

One winning entry will be randomly selected from the pool of applicants, and the player who submitted that entry will gain the ability to finalize their purchase of the plot.
