After spending the night awake, and camping the launcher since 8 AM server time, only to find myself stopped by a random login queue, and only to login, while every single mansion was already taken, when all of my FC was hopeful to get there, I am writing this to voice my EXTREME displeasement with how this was all handled.
If I'd lost a fair race, I'd be at peace with this. But neither me nor anyone I know even had a chance at trying. It was just " I guess it's like they never introduced houses anyway".
Everyone I talked with is in agreement that this just killed the mood for this patch.
Especially knowing that half of the lucky people that got houses will now take advantage of this to make a profit out of desperate people, as you can already see in PF.
I dearly hope something is done to correct this. 12 wards are obviously not enough for the amount of people in-game, and this was already known to be the case before this patch.
