Final Fantasy XIV Players who have been waiting for their chance to buy a home may be able to do so soon now that the game’s Housing Lottery is back. Square Enix and Naoki Yoshida, producer and director Final Fantasy XIV, announced the next steps for the housing lottery in a blog post this week and confirmed that those affected by the mistakes the last time the lottery was held will have a chance to claim their prize next week. Then another housing lottery will start 10 days later for another chance to get some land.
This housing lottery was introduced alongside the previously released Endwalker expansion, but the lottery did not work as intended. Only players competing for a particular plot did not win, lottery numbers that showed no one winning were drawn, and so on. Fortunately, Square Enix plans to recover data from the previous housing lottery on May 16 to “correctly transmit the lottery results of the affected plots to the appropriate servers.”
“If you have a winning lottery number, please make sure you finish your land purchase by Thursday, May 26 at 14:59 (GMT) / 15:59 (GMT) / Friday, May 27 00:59 (AEST), Yoshida said in Last this week. “The next lottery will start immediately on Thursday, May 26 at 15:00 (GMT) / 16:00 (BST) / Friday, May 27 at 01:00 (AEST), at which point you will lose the ability to claim land that you won during this lottery. We will announce this deadline again as it gets closer, so please don’t forget to claim your land.”
After this restored lottery session has begun, and Square Enix has deemed everything working as intended, there will be another housing lottery on May 26 to give even more players a chance to get a home.
Those who tried to enter the last lottery may remember that they got their money back. Yoshida said that there are no plans to perform a data recovery for this generation withdrawal, but that an NPC will be added in patch 6.2 for players to be able to talk to in case they want to voluntarily recover that amount.
