Not able to buy or do lottery for any open plot.

I don't have a house of belong to an fc. I meet all the requirements and won't let be buy or do the lottery for an empty plot. Is the whole housing buying system broken?

Is the whole housing buying system broken?

Basically, yes. If you click on a placard it currently shows the results period going until 4/29, but they're actually suspending purchases and relocation with tonight's maintenance for 6.11:

Suspension of Plot Purchases and Relocation in Patch 6.11

The maintenance for Patch 6.11 will impose a temporary suspension of plot purchases and relocation for all players, including winners of the recent lottery. This suspension will continue until the fixes and data restoration for the housing lottery system have been successfully implemented. We encourage all players to finalize their winning claims or relocation plans before Tuesday, April 26, when the Patch 6.11 maintenance is scheduled to take place.

The latest update from last Friday has the currently relevant information.

Still can't use the lottery or buy a plot after 6.11 patch. Wonder how long it's going to take them to open up selling plots again.

I don't even think the #0 bug would have been such a big problem, almsot all the new private houses are sold even with the bug, just get your gil back and try again.
Now all the people tried to get a large or medium plot first for their FC obviously but can't try again now.

Hard to say. Seems like they're taking extra caution to make certain their fix will work correctly and that new problems won't be introduced. Then the affected winners need time to claim their plots. It could be the claim period will end up longer than the normal 4 days due to the refund complication.

They've been keeping us up to date as they have more information to share so all we can do is wait for the next follow-up.

i dont see nothing happening till next month they have already locked it down to the 30th .. even if they fixed it tomorrow there will be a week or two while the correct winners of plots are notified then allowed to purchase their lot again if they had refunded their gil before they even think about opening the lotto system up again!!

if i was to guess second week of may prob !!

Million dollar question really. They need to fix it first, make sure there are no more problems, get past Golden Week, undo the on-the-fly stops they put in place, deal with any outliers.

I wouldn't be surprised if it stays off for half to most of May.

No lottery before the current disputes has been resolved, and that would be fairplay to everyone, especially those that is hurt by the "0" bug.

It will open again once that has been fixed, that has already been told and written down.

Maaan. I know the 0 bug doesn't make us "lose" out on anything really and they're making it so the plots go out to the correct winners, but I just want to know that I've lost and collect my dang refund already lol.
