Regarding the latest live letter I have some feedback based on the lottery system being in place for all wards for Empyreum.

As a relatively new player I have been used to housing being quite difficult to obtain and the FCFS system being in place for past housing has prompted me to plan ahead for Empyreum housing (i.e scoping out the plot I wanted and making sure I had the funds months in advance) on the basis that it would be FCFS.

I would ask that Empyreum were half FCFS and half lottery. This enables the developers to trial their lottery system and allow people who are comfortable with the lottery system to use that system and those that want either instant gratification or instant disappointment to use the FCFS system.

Personally, I would rather instantly know if I can get my desired plot or not rather than dragging it out over multiple days and find out that with so many people entering for a specific plot over time that I did not get the plot. I understand that it is refundable but the time spent waiting is not. Especially when such time could be spent scoping out another plot or looking through the various different wards.

I hope the developers take this into consideration and at least let a few of the many wards be first-come-first-serve.
