When will the housing bug be fixed?

[HuaTuo]

Anyone knows? Haven't seen a post in ages. Or are we waiting for what would otherwise be a second lottery round (currently at Entry stage) for the data to be applied from previous lottery when the Confirmation stage comes? Or is it some ambiguous "sorry for any inconvenience" with no end to this in sight?

Read lodestone messages i would say.

Well im just speculating, but on the 18/19 (depending on timezone) they said in regards to fixing the bug "We expect this process to take approximately three to five business days"
but could be longer.
They also have extended the results timer to the 30th,(this info is now updated on the placards)
so you would imagine between now and the 30th, but in saying that they should give everyone a few days before the 30th to make sure they get to log in and claim there plot etc,
so i would think it wont be to much longer.
But this is just me guessing.

Ages? Do you not read the Lodestone? They have made at least three to four posts just about housing, details and such. 'Ages' would imply that it would have been an extremely long time as in months if they had said something. They started making posts on the Lodestone about it the day the lottery was over, and we would have had the results.

They didn't give any update since 18th, and for a fiasco of this proportion, yes I'd say that ages!

LOL they will literally never ever fix it. I promise you just be ready to be disappointed . Sure this little glitch will be fixed for now but actual housing issue where everyone pays for the game but only 1 out of every 10,000 player can have a house ? wont ever be fixed i promise.

2nd round Lottery restart was pushed back and the actual fix for this one should be coming soon I would hope.

Relative to fixing the availability issue that's not something in the cards for now. Lets hope this has clearly shown them the numbers who bid and didn't get housing so they need to really get it together and do something. Given the influx of new players ward housing isn't going to solve the problem they need to consider an instanced alternative be it much nicer apartments or instanced housing itself.

I'm actually hoping that the number of bids for larger plots, compared to the lesser demand for smaller plots provides hard data for the developers to hopefully plan a better solution to the housing situation.

Latest update is up

As the issues with the housing lottery system only affect the housing servers, Patch 6.11 will be released on Tuesday, April 26, as scheduled. To ensure the lottery system is fully stable, however, the related fixes and data restoration will not be included in Patch 6.11, but will instead be implemented in a separate maintenance at a later date. We understand the frustration this delay may cause, but ask for your patience as we take the necessary time to address these issues in a comprehensive manner.

So, after Tuesday's 6.11 patch at this point. Maybe towards the end of the week. If not it will be in 2 weeks, as they won't work in Golden Week.

kinda a bit slower than usual for these guys fixing stuff ..
i get bugs happen but with housing already in a state this has made it worse

sadly housing has been a mess since its release the lotto system has good intentions but ultimately still a really flawed system regardless
back in the day i owned 8 houses all with fc's ( to be clear it was never to flip them or make money i just enjoyed decorating them and selling them after a few months to buy another lot to do the same )
1. fc's are a easy way to sell plots to other players because simply invite the new owner to the fc get your money leave job done this system i assume still works .. so rmt and dark web sale can still occur
2. the lotto system is already easy to exploit as the other day some one asked if they could buy my lvl 8 fc for 100 million gil i said no but then upon thinking about it later on why i figured what stops 10 20 different fc alts owning fc's to increase the chances of a specific lot ..
in fact i read some one on youtube make the comment they had 7 bids on 1 lot lost but the 8th person bid on the wrong sub and they got their house ..
name change the fc job done in fact it could be used to make gil from flipping fc lots to fc's screaming for them even with this lotto system !!!
