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

[SnowVix]

It’s a theory, but honestly, I don’t think they can make a big coding mistake like this one ?
I’m on this game since 6 years and I truly want to believe this is a mistake but they are more capable than this, don’t you think ?
I’m lucky to have a small house but this is really crushing for a lot of people. Square knows the community cares about houses so why didn’t they checked their code better before release ?

Sorry if I sounded rude or something, English is not my primary language but if it is a bug, it is quite a BIG one.

I mean, the lodestone post where devs explicitly call it a bug or error that plots with people bidding on them went un-won has been linked several times in the thread now, so your "theorizing" was just you actively avoiding reading dev communication because it would make your theory wrong.

It doesnt address the refund issue... if we took the refund, are we screwed?

I got my gil back. Will I be put back on the lottery? There was NO Other one that bid with me. It should of went to me automatically. What is going on here and if this is being rolled out to the 20th, am I back on the lottery automatically even though I got my gil back? This is so messed up.

Ty
I hope they will find a way to correct this mess.

In fact, if all the 0 become 1, all the 2 would become 3 and so on. So in fact it may be fair to take away the homes from the some winners, since they would not win without the bug.

That would just piss the people off who already won decorated and relocated to said plot. This is 14's error. They need an emergency maintenance ASAP. Fix the coding and reward housing to those with 1 bid and lost to the zero bid error. They should also hold off on the next round of housing lottery until the systems goes through quality assurance. Between the pvp speed hacking and this this company has a lot of work on its hands.

Starting to think Yoshi-p split focus between 14 and 16 is what is causing a lot of issues currently

it's actually a tiny one, like a single <= instead of a < in a line of code. Apparently not tested very well though

This is my concern too... all the people that reclaimed the gil are just S.O.O.L. or can we just pay if we win?

I saw those.
But since we had caught them lying on a few things recently, my trust in them is quite recoloured.
And this make me quite sad. But it’s a me problem I guess.

Have a good day nevertheless.

Good to know they are looking into the issue and have basically frozen the system until they know what happened. They really do need to address those that already took their refund though. Okay, you've extended the result period but what is happening to those who already accepted their "loss" and took their money back?

I'd hope we can still win and just pay upon claiming.... but if they couldnt handle "roll *1-7*" I dont know what to expect v.v
