The lotto winner.... number ZERO? Are you serious???

[GeminiReed]

If this is an off-by-one bug then the winners didn't win.

If you had entries 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
The winning tickets were drawn from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7

Nice try, but wrong. The developer forgot to clamp the lower bound. The upper bound is correct so the winning ticket was drawn from 0-8 instead of 1-8 like it should have.

Honestly the only way I see them responding to this is to re-open bidding on the winner 0 houses and open up more wards in general. They can't take houses away from people who won, even if the RNG roll was off/skewed, and I don't think they'll just hand plots over to people -- even if they were the only bidders on a plot. It's not ideal, but the entire situation is just so unbelievably effed right now that they are going to have to piss at least some people off no matter what they do.

I didn't win my plot, and I still think a rollback would be the worse course of action.

That's cool. My FC lost the only unbid-on large, which means we probably forever lost our shot at a large. Seems unfair to us.

I claimed my refund because I didn't understand at first that it was a bug... countless players did the same. They caused the bug, they have to fix it for everyone, not just the ones who were informed enough to not claim refund. Crossing data isn't that hard, it just takes time. I'm willing to wait enough if I'm 100% sure I'll have my due (only bidder on a plot, I should have won, period).

I will always be cynical when it comes to SE, even more so right after this Hrothgar Hair debacle. I'm going to assume they will take the laziest, quickest path to fixing this, which I assume would still screw a lot of people over.

People are now saying that if you were affected by the bug, you shouldn't claim your refund because it might take you out of the lottery? RIP me twice over, then...

I'm like 85% sure they will reroll those plots, there was never any indication that taking the refund was bad unless you visited a forum or social media.


So maybe there's hope.

I lost the lotto, and to add insult to injury I can't enter a new lotto? What kind of ass backwards bullshit is this SE. FU SE.... seriously. FU!

[RichaertBlack]

Support shows they are aware and it does suggest it is not intentinal I suppose in the text just being hopeful but it seems they are working to resolve it which means the Zero was not intended?

New lotto hasn't Started. Look at the little graphic they posted Lotting period --> Claim Period ---> New lotting period. Need to know if all new lots are claimed and all people have moved. You Don't need to check twice for empties. Just once when lotting opens.

Why would anyone think it was intentional. Clearly it is an oversite or lack of skill. But intentional, and what else are they going to say.
