Housing Roulette was an absolute trash idea.

I assume you are talking about the picture that was posted earlier. There were no FCs in ward 25 before the previous lottery cycle, because before then ward 25 was not in the game yet. It's not possible to have relocated elsewhere from a new ward until tomorrow.

That ward has smalls and mediums that no one wanted. Either no one bid on them at all, or someone bid on them and refused to claim the plot. Anyone who thinks the few taken plots are being misused can make a new free company, claim an unwanted plot and find a better use for it.

But then you get people who are like "but-but muh FC. I can't leab it. T_T"

Prob gonna be the last thing I say on this topic but if you're (speaking in general) butthurt over people making FCs to get housing while refusing to leave your own FC....you're literally just getting mad over nothing. I dipped to Dynamis because housing and all of the people in my life prior to that are still in my life now, we literally just use cross-DC to hang out and I'm still in their servers on Discord. If a <TAG> next to your name is more important than actually getting your house, you don't need one that badly. If your FC is the type that would shut you out if you leave, why are you still there? They clearly don't care about your friendship.

It just makes very little sense to me over why people get mad over something they aren't willing to do in the first place. Like, the devs aren't going to magically change all but one ward to private housing. Is it scummy that some people chose to multi-own or make their own FC to get a house? Sure. Can I blame them? No. If your ties to your own FC are holding you back from doing the same then evaluate how badly you actually need that house and maybe hop off giving other people a hard time for being able to do what you refuse.

Also, if you're waiting for a specific plot to open because you absolutely can't imagine living in a "lowly small", then get in line with everyone else who wants that plot if you arent willinf to move to get it. Meanwhile those who are just happy to get something will already have theirs. This housing system leaves no room for being picky once it gets to the point that we're only getting 1 or 2 new houses at a time. Relocate later, that's the literal point of it.
