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.
