Update 6 on Lotttery

[Oizen]

Remember when they made FCs have to exist for 30 days in order to get a house? So much for that.

Wait should those who didint refund on 0 plots now refund?

The devs basically confirmed you can earn yourself a free house now..

[Greyhawk]

If I get my FC house in Ishgard, the names I can make to commemorate this 'voluntary' payout on my house will be astounding, lol.

I mean systems aren’t perfect. They do break down sometimes. I don’t agree that people affected by the bug should get a free house. I understand waiting for a month sucks but at the end of the day things sometimes happen out of our control.

I was lucky in not being affected by the bug but a free house? Come on SE. All of ours should be free then. That’s not fair. I mean I could even get behind only charging them 50% of them original price because of the inconvenience but free? That’s not fair.

I'd be astounded if the voluntary gil npc sees any use on the NA side of things. While I get the frustration over the essentially free houses, it's that or having to add a new system just for this bug. If all this time waiting was just to pinpoint a bug in the existing code, fix it and test it before roll-out, imagine how long the wait would be implementing a whole new chunk of code to identify winners that had already collected gil and collect. This way gets the system back up and running now.

Choosing to reward exclusivity and selfishness is a really bad move. If housing was a bad joke before, it's completely insulting now. This isn't progress, this is a holding pattern.

There is a solution. People like myself are now basically placed on an honour system. So why not have the NPC reward players for their honesty, whether a small funny title like 'Out of the Brume' or something like that, something that is not impactful but nice to have.

But then you gonna hear people scream but I cant get this title. Its unfair. Boohoo. I want this title too and so on.

[Brygd]

To be truly fair, they need to offer a title to those of us who bid but lost fair and square.

In all seriousness, this is probably the most equitable of solutions for those who were effected by the error. I’ll be happy for the fcs that get their new housing next week.

So wait is everyone with a 'o' bug just refunding for a free house?
