Naoki Yoshida, producer ♛and director of Final Fa🦋ntasy 14, has confirmed that the MMO's housing lottery system has now been resolved.

While he that the issues were "extensive and persistent", the team has since been able to reproduce the issue, fixed identified errors, verified those fixes, and is now ready to restore the lotter𓆏y data. 

Last month, Yoshida had to apologize to players after it was discovered that the game's new housing lottery system was broken.

It became apparent that the new feature - which came into the game as part of the recent 6.1 Patch - was malfunctioning when some players participating in lotteries received messages informing them that they were unsuccessful because there "were no participants in this lottery", and others were told the winning lottery number was "0", even ꦛthough that number was unassignable, and no player could select it.

With a fix in sight, however, the game will be put into maintenance mode on Monday, May 16, during which errors wil♐l be fixed so that the game can "properly relay lottery results for affected plots to the appropriate servers". 

This means winning lottery numbers will be displayed correctly and land purchases finalized accordingly. Temporary suspensions imposed on plot purchases and relocations will be lifted, too. You have until Thursday, May 26 to confirm a🦹nd finalize y🌜our land purchase if you're a lottery winner, so don't hang about; especially as the next lottery will go live later that same day.

So if you had previously received the "winner lottery number of 0" error, double-check your tickets as "some participants may discover that they had, in fact, won the lottery⭕, despite already receiving a refund due to the lottery number error". 

"Even if ꦯyour deposit was refunded due to this system error, your ability to finalize the purchase of a won plot ꦿwill remain unaffected," Yoshida explains.

"As these housing lottery issuඣes have been significant and caused great stress and frustration in many players, we have no intention of performing a data rollback to forcibly rescind any refunded gil. We will make an announcement regarding the voluntary return of housing deposits once the NPC in question is ready to be implemented."
