I'm still receiving a 0 despite the update

This new lodestone post claims that the issue is fixed, however I am still seeing a 0 on my FC's large plot. Is anyone else having this issue? Or is this really badly written??

Edit: Just to prevent further confusion now that I understand that's happening

The old title of this was "Winners of the Housing Lottery System Now Displayed Correctly (Apr. 18)", but it now reads "Instructions for Players Seeing Correct Housing Lottery Results (Apr. 18)", meanwhile, Follow-up Post 3 reads "The lottery data that exists on the server responsible for processing results will be used to overwrite the housing server so that the correct data is reflected. This will be done at the same time that fixes for the issue are implemented, and will require a maintenance period for all Worlds. Maintenance times will be shared as soon as we have determined them."

Sorry for bringing further confusion to this chaos.

They haven't implemented the fix yet. There will be a testing phase and a worldwide mainenence.

Same here. The older post said they need maintenance, I doubt that has changed. Second "typed too fast" blunder within two days, I guess :^)

Restoring Lottery Data

The lottery data that exists on the server responsible for processing results will be used to overwrite the housing server so that the correct data is reflected. This will be done at the same time that fixes for the issue are implemented, and will require a maintenance period for all Worlds. Maintenance times will be shared as soon as we have determined them.

Yeah, fixes like these would require them to actually mess with a file in the servers. And they can't do that without shutting stuff down and implement the change, which is what maintenance is for.

Issue is why is the wording acting like it's present tense? It may be so for the fix, but it's not like it's actually in the game yet.

Very true, nonetheless, the wording on the newest post is misleading at best.

The winners of Housing Lottery have now been displayed correctly. If you have been selected as a winner, please proceed with the purchase of land, or if you have already purchased the land, please continue to enjoy the various housing contents.

This sounds as if you could go and claim your plot right now.

Too many blunders in too little time.

I understand this was on the original post, but when it says "The winners of Housing Lottery have now been displayed correctly. If you have been selected as a winner, please proceed with the purchase of land", it kind of sounds like "please do it right now"

Following their previous post, I think they meant people who were on the first group of "displayed winner correctly", in case you haven't finalized your land purchase.

[PharisHanasaki]

I meant this part:

For plots that correspond to the first category, this means that there were no problems with the lottery itself or with the results displayed. Winners are free to finalize their purchases, so please continue enjoying the features of the housing system. Subsequent fixes and data restoration will not force you to enter a new lottery.

We encourage players who have not finalized their plot purchase to do so as soon as possible. While unfinalized claims won't prevent our efforts to restore the lottery data, the fewer plots that are in doubt, the quicker we will be able to proceed with the restoration. We will also be making this request in an upcoming news item.
