Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

[Arrius]

You work hard for something for years and dream about getting it just for an rng system just to tell you "You not lucky this time sorry better luck next time" You would be upset and depressed also. As I said this housing system ISNT better than placards. They both trash systems but one makes feelbad bc its completely up to a compute to pick your number.

Still beats having to be online at all times spamming placard signs while I could actually play the game. Or have to schedule my free time to be able to rush onto the servers the moment they are online again - If you are not stuck in a queue or SE has to delay (or even complete early) the server maintenance, throwing your plan out of the window.

Instead they got multiple days time to pick a plot they like to have and enter the lottery with just a few clicks. And then go back enjoying the game.
If they win, nice. If not, better luck next time. All relaxed and no ridiculous rushing.
