Private House Relocation - Help! I won but it won't let me relocate!

[Teegan]

Yeah, I totally understand what you are saying because that's exactly how I felt. That plot would have been our FC forever home. However, once that little personal house in the LB was gone and I had nothing to show for it, I felt rather differently!

And to confirm, yes, the error message came up for me at the bidding point and it's been confirmed it is not a bug. Removing that character from the FC allowed me to put in bids on my qualifying alts.

Ah, that character was in a different FC that already had a house, perhaps? Yeah, that's just one of the rules. However, I have heard of the flag thing bugging out so even when the characters meet the rules they can't bid.

Sadly mine is a bit different - the bid was accepted as normal; it's the relocation system that has a bug.

No, just to clarify I had several alts all in the same FC. One character bought the original FC house. When we tried to relocate to a medium, only he could place a bid. Since a few members were inactive, and I had alts that qualified, I wanted to place a couple of bids using them. I couldn't do that until I kicked the character who had originally bought the FC house. Once he was gone all qualifying alts could bid.
It was reported and definitely isn't a bug. I guess it's a mechanism to stop shell FCs from getting an unfair advantage, not sure it's been very successful though looking at some of the wards in Empyreum.
