Does the lottery system apply to Oceania servers when housing comes out?

[Jojoya]

False.

Yoshida explained that they'll implement First Come-First Served and Lottery on a district-by-district basis. Meaning they can go with either system anywhere depending on a case-by-case basis for a ward.

Please don't spread misinformation.

He actually said in the last Live Letter before Endwalker release that they were considering using all lottery but they wanted player feedback on whether some wards should be first come, first serve.

Unless you have a direct quote regarding housing made since then, it's hard to say what they've decided.

There's also the possibility that new wards will be first come, first serve on release (so they fill quickly) with all resales via lottery after that.
