My plot is gone...?

[Shyluv]

Uh.... Take this with a lot of salt but wasn't there a system in place where, if you don't build a house on a plot in a certain period of time you automatically forfeit the plot?

There is. In the mini patch before 2.4 when they added 6 & 7 wards, someone on my ward bought plot 8 and it seemed like they held it for a week or longer. Either those 3 days felt like a week to me, or they made the time shorter.

Or the other possibilities.
