My FC is finally getting their own large! Excited!

Its always interesting NOT to see the usual "concerned" avatars in these threads when they are trying to fix a problem or acknowledge that they are indeed paying attention...

Because, majority of the forum people in these threads are doom and gloom spreaders hellbent on very much causing strife, on purpose. They are not a representation of the wider playerbase that is in-game, actually enjoying the various pieces of content that exists. You have Karens irl, you have the same on the forums.
But if a newcomer came to look at the forums, it would look like this is the worst game to be a part of, when in fact it's one of the best MMOs on the market supported by a fabulous dev team. That's not apologist, that's just pure fact.

I wish the Community Managers would be more proactive at funneling the threads into super threads though since people seem unable to post their opinions in a single thread.

They're working on it, they have all the information needed to get the proper winners chosen, will require a future maintenance once they properly test everything with the fix and sort through the winner logs.

It's expected. Remember, only people who like the game are toxic.

And I say this as someone who has wanted an ishgard house for close to 8 years now. And lost the lottery (and I expect every plot on jenova to be gone with the bug fix, almost every plot had bidders)

Yet I'm not here moaning and groaning. I accepted the results like an adult and moved on.

Thank you so much!

In essence, the results from the lotto were not passed over to the server that deals with housing. The results of the lotto were maintained so no new run of the lotto is needed. Further maintenance is required.

Thats right these forums tend to be filled with a bunch of Karens that its just ugh.

A shame too because its masked behind reasonable criticisms here and there

[Seraphor]

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.

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

I wouldn't quite settle on either of these. More that they're committed to making sure their solution is fair, and it could be either of these or something similar, but they have yet to decide what that solution is going to look like.

I'm more irritated that they're halting lottery until they fix it.

I WANT A HOUSE DAMN IT.
