Is the new housing notice saying you can keep your money and get the house?

Why this is not the best solution:

What compensation is SE offering to those who had an entry on a plot affected by the bug and have been stressed out for the last month waiting to find out what is happening just to learn they lost?

They're not offering anything other than a big "guess it sucks to be you". Those players are now double losers because not only are they not getting a free house, they have to start the process over and will still have to pay should they finally get a house in a future lottery.

Also, someone who entered for a small and has been left waiting has been under the same stress as someone who entered for a large. Why does one player get only 3-4 million gil as compensation but the other gets 47-50 million?

Either compensate every player affected equally or compensate none. The worst response is to compensate only the winners and to do it disproportionately when all affected have been under the same stress.

I don't have an issue with SE offering the winners a grace period through the end of 6.2 to pay for the house if a refund had already been collected but they can't just let them have the house for free when some can't even get a house and others have to pay.

Hopefully this entire situation is a wake up call to SE on why they need to revamp the housing system entirely.

Similar logic is why I'm not in love with the idea.. personally the idea of compensation for the stress seems alright, but like 50mil seems like.... ...... a lot. lol.

Can say it sucks to be SE in this position, not generous enough people will be upset, too generous and people will be upset, middle level of generous might be a happy medium but you know people will still be upset hahaha.

Not going to flip a table at free 50mil being tossed about, but it did make me raise my eyebrow upon learning that. (Hence previous post said I don't really care, but did want to say free 50 mil is pretty sweet deal that I imagine a lot of people would have loved to have the bug affect them then lol).

Good luck to everyone, SE included, XD.

excuse me? How long does it take to make 3 million versus how long does it take to make 50 million is your answer and why 50 million is given to those you gave the effort.

Because the compensation has nothing to do with how long it took you to earn the gil in the first place.

The compensation is for players being left on hold for a month trying to find out whether or not they get the plot. That amount of time was the same for all affected players.
