Does the lottery system apply to Oceania servers when housing comes out?

[Markfresh]

Has there been any updates on housing changes?
I imagine that Ishgard will have lotto , but what about the other areas on OCE will the lotto system be in place when OCE housing opens?

[NishaSetsuya]

It suppose to apply on all housing district once the 6.1 patch hit

Oh ok so no walking up to a fresh OCE plot and buying it, and thats for all districts not just Ishgard
So could take a long time to get a house on OCE even if its not very populated.

Unknown. Yoshi P did say they were thinking of allowing certain plots to be first to come/serve, but more info was needed before 6.1 arrives. Guess we have to wait for a live letter.

This lottery will cause so much controversy.

More likely than not, housing on Materia will follow the same structure as on the other DCs. I'm guessing this based on mention of financial compensation given to players for their houses when they transfer.

Yeh its such as hard decision whether to move, a lot of people like myself are considering not moving as we already have a house, which will affect the population on OCE i think, as people dont want to be homeless,
and giving me some Gil back when moving it not much of a incentive to move as its a few month wait to even try to get a house and even then its not guaranteed.

False.

Yoshida explained that they'll implement First Come-First Served and Lottery on a district-by-district basis. Meaning they can go with either system anywhere depending on a case-by-case basis for a ward.

Please don't spread misinformation.

If the release is similar to the last added world/data center deal, more then likely housing there will straight up be locked out until an even later date. Devs tend to give new worlds a patch or so to fill in with players before opening up the lots, still have no idea about lotto system though even with current worlds, no official info on what is getting what yet.

yep
1. not enough free wards for people to try their hand at the lottery every week
2. some plots only get 10-20 bidders, making them much easier to get, others, 200.
3. people signing for auction at the last 60 seconds of a lottery draw on a plot htat only had 7 people, bumping it to 100
4. some people will realistically play for 70 years entering lottery every week before they get a house
