Except they did give us an initial ETA. Go back to Lodestone and read the third follow-up.

Reproducing the Issue and Further Investigation

The root cause of the issue has been determined, and we are currently running a test to reproduce said issue on the development servers. To complete this testing and verify that we have correctly identified the cause will require at least one more business day.

Fixing Identified Errors

The processes causing the issue will be adjusted so as to function as intended and correctly notify the housing server. We will then verify whether or not implementing these fixes resolves the overall issue.

Verifying Fixes

After we are certain of the root cause of the issue, we must test whether the implemented fix indeed resolves it. We expect this process to take approximately three to five business days, but ask in advance for your understanding in the event that it takes longer than expected to determine with certainty that the issue is resolved.

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.
Then the fourth follow-up:

Reproducing the Issue and Further Investigation
Fixing Identified Errors

These steps are now complete. During this process, we also identified and addressed an issue affecting relocation between plots, which occurred rarely under certain conditions.

Verifying Fixes

We are currently in the process of verifying our fixes to the program on an internal development server. We previously announced an estimate of three to five business days to complete this step, but as we are checking everything with meticulous care, it may require several extra days to be fully certain that the issue is resolved.

Restoring Lottery Data

The same meticulous care is being taken with the lottery data. In our internal testing, we are replicating the exact same environment on the public servers to ensure that the data restoration proceeds without issue.
Now he's saying it will take longer than expected, but the time frame is still additional days. That's better than it taking additional weeks.

Do you really wanting them rushing out a half-baked fix that ends up not working, or would you prefer one that fixes the problem so all future lotteries work as intended?
