I lost mine aswell! so that goes up to 85 lost houses! WOO!Lost again… *sigh* one of my 3rd choice plots will be up for bidding next round, so I’ll try for that if nothing else opens up. The plot I lost was only 4th on my list, but I knew going in that it was a lot of other people’s first choice, so I was kinda expecting to lose. Just so tired of this endless cycle of waiting, then losing, waiting, then losing…
and you and me both honestly... It's the constant. Wait, lose, Wait, lose, wait, lose. :/
A hope is that bright light burning within each and everyone of us!
Imagine what the bids would look like if it was something like a 2-2 schedule. You'd have half as many houses available so the bid counts would double.I agree - though I feel they should have a ranked bidding system to speed up people moving in. Because out of those 750 entries; you can see how folks tend to cluster on the "house they want" rather then just being happy to get a house in general - the week long wait doesn't help either.
Players are going to feel better about a 1 in 25 chance to win compared to 1 in 50 chance to win when entries are spread over fewer plots.
It would be even worse if it was the 1-1 schedule that some have suggested. We'd be back at the point where players would feel forced to log in every day to have a chance at a house just like many complained back when it was FCFS. Log in to bid. Log in to see that they lost. Log in to bid again. And so on.
No matter how it gets scheduled, some players will continue to be unhappy because they cannot get a plot where they currently play.
Lotteries by their nature can't be won by everyone. There's no reason to feel humiliated because it's random chance.
If someone tells to you piss off when you're looking around to decide where to place a bid or to collect a refund when you didn't win, please report them.
I understand you both have your reasons for not wanting to transfer.
Yet on Marilith, I can go to the Mist subdivision where my FC has its house and there are 8 open plots. None of them had a single bid this lottery period.
And it's by no means the only ward/subdivision with available plots for the taking on Dynamis. A lot of players could get out of the wait/lose cycle by being willing to move and they would still be able to play with their NA friends.

There always seem to be players who feel comfortable in their self-pity rather than looking towards a brighter future on a new World.
So in the end we simply should move on and ignore those who wants to sink into their self-pity and wait for salvation instead of taking fate into their own hands.

Yup. I know, i know. I know moving is ''easier and faster'' and i am considering it, so don't you worry.

Saw that dream plot in Mist 26-19. I would love to have a personal house there.
My number was 26, 24 won. Bad luck !
You know what would be delicious right now? Chocolate lava cake, with raspberry ice cream.

You guys gave me such cravings I had to order chocolate... smh
Dream plot is up again… it wasn’t open last night so it must’ve opened up in the wee hours of the morning. I bid first again. I have no chill. I was so excited to see it open! lol Hope you find something worth bidding on this round Yuniko! <3
