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

[PharisHanasaki]

Me and another FC member bid on the same lot and we were the only ones bidding. We both lost cause the winning number is 0.
Even though we both already claimed our gil back, the placard still mentions that there were 2 participants. So the data should be there. Basically the devs have 4 days now to sort it out and assign a winner to those "winning number 0 - plots" before people would start to bid on these plots again.

How come MANY players are saying they bought multiple tickets for the same FC?!
That's so unfair, it should be one member only.

This housing system is more broken than I thought. 0 won, AND oh this FC has 500m let's all get a ticket? Wow.

I mean... you need 49mill per person for a large, and 19mill each for med? You cant easily distribute that much gil to people you trust. I was hesitant to even let the officers have 20 mill because they can just not bet the lotto and leave with the gil. Its not a bannable offense.

I don't think this would be as big an issue -- except it's only a guess that people who took refunds will still have their name associated with the house in question.

This is my hope because even though the pop up window says zero people are participating after the results were determined, the main placard still says two people are. Unless that's another bug, the discrepancy gives me small hope that the participant's data are still stored in association with that plot for that lottery round until such a time as the winner claims the plot.

Both participants are me so I know I haven't been removed from that particular record:

It's not fair. Personal Housing can only allow for one ticket per person, why must an FC be allowed to buy multiple? Specially for M and L houses, which are super limited. So an FC that earns or buys gil can have a higher chance than this other FC full of newbies that worked hard to earn 45-50m?

yes. thats how currency works.

I understand the frustration.
1: IMO, a large plot is just bragging rights. Its the same as Medium, with barely more decorations. Its really a waste.
2. Tho many FC members can place bids all over, they can only have one plot. Once they win one, the other bids dont matter. An FC can only own one house plot.
My FC is only 6 people, and I too am frustrated with the lotto glitch. We had a 100% chance of finally getting a home after working for 7 months to save, and lost to number zero.

Ha, that's not the point. But hey what did I expect from the forums.

[TaleraRistain]

Ye gods that's a heck of a bug. Looks like someone didn't put a range limit into the random number generator so 0 wasn't an option. I imagine they'll get that fixed asap.

Which again, it's not the point. Should be one ticket per plot at the very least. Not multiple on the same plot. That's just silly.

But I guess if you here in the forums think that's fair, good luck getting your house if you didn't already.

My FC managed to get a mansion, but were on a very quiet server so it was a lot easier to get one.

I did get the 0 error, and my gil was sent back to me for a medium. I am not sure if its just a RNG thing because I did see the same house I tried for on a different ward that was claimed.

I know everyone is upset, but all we can do is be patient and wait for a actual answer on what is going forward.
