    So we're getting these cute little one off lotteries, but when is the "regular" lottery going to be a regular thing again?

    Lotteries are lotteries, perks are perks. There's no requirement to enter them, they're just a nice touch.
    Hopefully this is a test for the main lottery to make sure things are working again.

    Until we get some half decent half-mast Hobbit trouser Cosmetics and not the skin-tight trousers that we currently have I think bare Hobbit feet look strange un-booted.
    Both my Hobbits wear boots, but only because I can't find any decent pants for them

    Either it was a flash lotto, or they made a "boot-boot" and accidentally set it up. Either way, it's over/gone, I guess.

    Ah, right you are - took a bit for the winning characters to appear on the right side. Can't complain with free coin!

    Those who read my comments in the other thread knew I had been "kicking" things trying get lotteries sorted out. So the "well booted" lotteries were the test.

    So far things look OK. I'll try to get the regular lotteries sorted out and running tomorrow AM.

    Well I hope they come back soon, although it really does not matter, my hubby can enter the same ones as me, he will win, I seldom win any...which I find very strange. But that is the luck of the lotteries. Now if he would just buy a REAL lottery ticket and win!!!

    Thanks for all you do to try to make things run as smoothly as possible.

    The normal lotteries are for the most part working smoothly now

    I did wonder though because it appears there is only lottery for my low lvl chars. So while my alts are celebrating, my main will have to still look in hope for a lottery.
    Is the lvl 80-85 lottery missing or is my main char just out of luck?

    Anyway, ty for getting the lotteries back up

    I, for one, applaud our new lottery overlord and glad he kicked the right switch.

    Seriously though Sapeince, thanks for getting them back online.

    I know I'm echoing the common sentiment with thanks for getting the lotteries running again, but also thanks for putting up with numerous complaints and many threads from us whining about missing lotteries!

    Only one lottery in a month?

    I have seen 1 lottery in the last month. That drawing for that lottery was on 7 Feb 2013. Am I missing something or are they gone?

    The last lottery was February 07, 2013. Sapience is obviously still having problems with the Lotto software. Hopefully this week assuming Turbine gets all the problems sorted out with the maintenance from last week.


    Unless stated otherwise, all content in this post is My Personal Opinion.
