Housing update 3 is up.

"The means by which gil may be collected from those who have already received a gil refund prior to learning that they have won the lottery is under consideration. Details of this process will be announced at a later date."



So getting a full refund and also a house is possible?

would you look at that. every single armchair coder was wrong

Admittedly, I know I said this was an "Off by One" error and i am glad that I was incorrect. In this case, the results maintained on the server that ran the actual lotto actually were maintained and the issue was a communication error between servers, which is something that is considerably harder to test for and also is not compromising the results of the original run of the lotto.

Only thing i'm a little confused on. Do they want EVERYONE to secure their gil that was 0'd. Or those with 0 to just leave things as is until the server info is 1:1 and displays the correct winner.

No, it means they're working out how to make sure people pay the full amount for the house when the system is expecting they've already paid half of it at this point and is set up to charge them only for the other half.

I would not accept any refunds just sit tight. There is no rush given refunds can be made up to July 19th. Appears those who actually took refunds with a 0 error may still be considered for the reroll or the servers who determined the winner actually displaying who won correctly.

Frankly I'm happy to be wrong. A communications error leaves no doubt about the validity of the winning bids.

It's better to be pleasantly surprised than correct about something bad. Glad to see the 0 bug is getting fixed and the plots given to the right people!

I'm aware of the no rush if it was working properly. But I know the people who lost to the system working correctly were told to grab their gil to speed up the prcess. So just wanted to clarify that the 0'd out bunch should just sit tight and not do anything

Its always interesting NOT to see the usual "concerned" avatars in these threads when they are trying to fix a problem or acknowledge that they are indeed paying attention...
