Basically, yes. If you click on a placard it currently shows the results period going until 4/29, but they're actually suspending purchases and relocation with tonight's maintenance for 6.11:
Housing Lottery System Issue (Apr. 22): Follow-up 4Quote:
Suspension of Plot Purchases and Relocation in Patch 6.11
The maintenance for Patch 6.11 will impose a temporary suspension of plot purchases and relocation for all players, including winners of the recent lottery. This suspension will continue until the fixes and data restoration for the housing lottery system have been successfully implemented. We encourage all players to finalize their winning claims or relocation plans before Tuesday, April 26, when the Patch 6.11 maintenance is scheduled to take place.
The latest update from last Friday has the currently relevant information.
Still can't use the lottery or buy a plot after 6.11 patch. Wonder how long it's going to take them to open up selling plots again.
I don't even think the #0 bug would have been such a big problem, almsot all the new private houses are sold even with the bug, just get your gil back and try again.
Now all the people tried to get a large or medium plot first for their FC obviously but can't try again now.
Hard to say. Seems like they're taking extra caution to make certain their fix will work correctly and that new problems won't be introduced. Then the affected winners need time to claim their plots. It could be the claim period will end up longer than the normal 4 days due to the refund complication.
They've been keeping us up to date as they have more information to share so all we can do is wait for the next follow-up.
i dont see nothing happening till next month they have already locked it down to the 30th .. even if they fixed it tomorrow there will be a week or two while the correct winners of plots are notified then allowed to purchase their lot again if they had refunded their gil before they even think about opening the lotto system up again!!
if i was to guess second week of may prob !!
No lottery before the current disputes has been resolved, and that would be fairplay to everyone, especially those that is hurt by the "0" bug.
It will open again once that has been fixed, that has already been told and written down.
Nothing is stopping you from collecting your gil. They even said in one of the updates they will work out payment of the house if you win at a later time. They recognized that people who were affected by it were given that only recourse after the lottery results.
I agree, it would be nice to know if we've won or not even if we can't purchase the plot yet.
Oh we lost out, we were the only bidders on a plot.
We got the 0 result, we really rather want what we won for our first FC plot....
If you had the only entry for that plot, you won. Sit tight until SE gets the fix implemented. You'll be able to claim the plot once it is.
A lot of players still think they were competing against a fictitious entry #0 because they either haven't read the updates or didn't understand what was explained.
Some people were unable to remove their gil from the placards even when there was a winner so there is a chance you wouldn't be able to get it out anyway. I don't know what caused this particular bug but a whole fc bid on a house someone won and the rest had their gil stuck in the placard. Many didn't really care because they did get the house, but it was just another weird bug I seen talked about in the fc housing ward at least.
