I wonder if you gave up a home you loved in order to bring your main across to the new data centre so that it wouldn't be 100% sprouts just as much?

It's an awful way to punish us for supporting the new data centre and there is no way to spin it otherwise.

The deception by omission is what needs to be focused on at this point, because it is unforgivable. Had they revealed the lottery system prior to opening the data centre and we transferred anyway then that would be on us, but they never, not once, stated we would not be able to simply FCFS our old houses back on Materia.

The only mention they made of the lottery back then was in relation to Empyreum. It never occurred to me that these devs would be underhanded enough to do what they have indeed done to those of us who trusted them to be transparent. Well fool me once shame on you, I and many others will never trust that they are acting in good faith again, so nice job on on the PR front SE.

I hope you are right about the FC lock, but I don't think you will be. I'm just glad I brought my alt across to help found the FC and he can purchase the house for the FC.
