Personal House Lost

I was hoping someone might be able to help me out. I recently lost my private house in a ward subdivision. I was sick last week when it got destroyed and I'm thinking the demolition timer may have been glitched and not logged my entry in the past 45 days if it's possible to check the logs on it, since I always add new seasonal decor and such. I placed a bid on it and won the ticket on the lottery system. The problem is, it won't let me buy it back as a private house even though it's been my house for over 10 years. I feel like the 90 year old being evicted from his home from a faulty bank transaction. If anyone could help me on this matter, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Would help to post a screenshot of your winning bid.

Unsure what you mean by you couldn't buy it back as a Personal Estate, you said you won?

Unless you placed a bid on it for your Free Company or it was in a Ward now marked as Free Company only.

Can you post a screenshot of whatever is stopping you from accepting the plot after winning it.

I've owned it since 2014, when the sub division first opened up. It was before the lottery system existed and the spot has sentimental value to me, it's not a matter of cost.

Adding outdoor furnishings won't reset the timer, no matter how seasonally festive it is.
Gotta enter the door. No other action will reset the timer.

You'd need some proof you were inside your home, but even then it's going to the market now and it'll be someone elses home. I don't foresee you getting it back unless you're lucky in the bid. :(

I've won the bid on it. I'm asking if there is someone in technical support who can help me claim my house back before my ticket expires on the 15th. Money isn't an issue so much as it has history and a sentimental value.

You won the bid on it, so you're saying you won it again yes, then what is stopping you, from claiming it?

If you don't go to the placard and claim it, you will lose 50% of the Gil used to bid, and someone else may win it next time.

You haven't explained why you can't claim the plot after winning.

I'm so sorry, I'm not in need of user error support. I need a number for live support or a Gm that could possibly contact me in game to help.

I'd suppose it's one of those old ward which are FC only atm(?).

It was a private estate that I've owned for over 10 years and I think due to a glitch that my estate was demolished while i was sick. I won the lottery on the ticket to repurchase the land but it will only allow me to buy it in the form of a free company. I was hoping a GM could make the switch from free company to private so that I can buy it back since that spot has sentimental value and it's just a small house.

Not to rain on your parade, but not only will they not entertain this idea, they can't.

There is no system in place for them to do that which you request.

You'll need to own it now as a FC, relinquishing whatever FC house you may have now, or unfortunately say goodbye.
I'm sorry you were sick, but you can't really throw out "a glitch" as an excuse when you had time away from the game.

Nobody really likes these new restrictions on houses as far as I can tell, but we all gotta play ball the same. GM's aren't as almighty as you'd think.

You're right, it's because they're arbitrary rules. Why did we get grandfather'd into a ward that only free company land can be purchased on? Why not make some new wards and put those rules in there? Sorry I'm just tired and not in the mood for these kinds of games.
