Hello,
first of all we would like to apologize for the second time for all the troubles caused by the plots auctions.
In all honesty this is exactly what happened:
- Two communities were not included in the files that we applied today, therefore players were able to buy plots
- We had to take Unity down to force the sale of all the plots in order to restart auctions properlu
- During the reboot couple of hundreds plots automatically got set to ?For Sale? status
- We tried forcing everything to auction status once again with another reboot, but still they?re automatically reset as soon as the shard goes live
- We can force a sale status change only when the shard is not running therefore once they?re automatically changed to ?For Sale? there?s nothing we can do
- We are now basically stuck in an endless loop because of this problem
At this point we need the database developers from Artifact Entertainment to look into the issue in order to have a proper fix for this situation.
We advise you to NOT buy any plot put for sale as they?re not actually for sale (but you should well know that) in order to avoid any possible future issue for your characters.
The bid system shouldn?t be affected and the existing bids will remain, the only problem will be that on 254 plots it is currently not possible to place a bid. We hope to address this situation within the next 24 hours once and for all as soon as we receive a working fix.
Thanks for your understanding.
Unity will be online again in a few minutes.
Take care,
Luca
