Pretty transparent I'd say. Also thankful they mentioned that plots which didn't have any errors are good to go. Can finally look to the next lottery.

Team is pretty transparent in my view. I have two friends affected by the 0 bug so hopefully they'll get it resolved quickly. Both are on Materia.

Yay.

Once this issue has been resolved, and lottery results can be relayed to the housing data servers without issue, it will be possible to confirm the lottery winners. Furthermore, players who registered for the lottery at the affected plots will not be required to register a second time. We ask for your patience as we work to recover data containing the results for these plots.

What does this mean? Like, I can take it in two ways as in either they're going to give the right winners the plot or we won't have to go back to the placard and register for the lottery again when they decide to unpause the system.

Yay.

It sounds to me like they'll give it to the correct winner.

Frankly I'm happy to be wrong. A communications error leaves no doubt about the validity of the winning bids.

It seems so.

Welp, my FC has a medium plot to look forward to now. yay

Thanks for the quick heads-up on the Lodestone post! You are on top of it today!! I also really appreciate the clarity in the post (as much as it could be), and the timelines that were expressed. Very helpful for planning purposes!

with the prior line for context:

After investigating this issue, we discovered that, while the server responsible for conducting the lottery is functioning as intended, the results are not being properly relayed to the servers responsible for managing housing-related data.

Once this issue has been resolved, and lottery results can be relayed to the housing data servers without issue, it will be possible to confirm the lottery winners. Furthermore, players who registered for the lottery at the affected plots will not be required to register a second time. We ask for your patience as we work to recover data containing the results for these plots.

it sounds like the lotto server determined the winners but relayed an error instead of the winner to the housing server. The fix will make the two servers 1:1 displaying the winners.
