personally, I don't actually see them doing anything as bold as a rollback. I actually have a feeling they won't do anything more than fix the bug, apologize, and restart the lottery

What I can imagine though is they may increase the amount of wards. On servers not run by S-E they just set it to max and walked away which is 30 and we're at 24
so they could add like 3 wards which would actually be 15 since every district would get them and they could maybe notice how barren the FC wards are and drop FC exclusive down to like 8 or 10 and make the middle wards mixed which would open up an absolute boatload of ishgard small houses for new buyers. IMO a new buyer should not turn their nose up at small houses.

There is literally no way they can make this not bad but they can definitely do something to make it not all bad, just a matter of will they?
