House Lottery
You may have noticed that there are houses within the city limits of Magincia. As with any other city, players cannot place houses within a city's guard zone. The houses in Magincia are acquired through the housing lottery.
Every two weeks, a random drawing is held and a lucky player wins the current lot up for grabs. To purchase a lottery ticket, double-click the lottery stone that stands in New Magincia Bank. There is a gate to the bank from the ABCUO gate room.
Lottery tickets cost 10,000 gold apiece. A player can purchase any number of lottery tickets.
Next to the lottery stone is a gate that leads to the current lot to be drawn.
If you are lucky enough to win the drawing, you can claim the house by double-clicking the claim stone in front of the house. You have two weeks from the date of the drawing to claim your house; you will need to have an empty house slot on your account to do so. If you do not claim your house within the allotted two weeks, the stone will expire and you will lose your claim; the house will be put back into the lottery system.
All houses in New Magincia are custom houses. Almost all of the houses are completely inside the guard zone, though there are a few exceptions. Be aware that while Magincia is guarded, the region inside your house is not.
If you own a house within Magincia, do not demolish it. If you demolish your house, or if a house decays, you will not be able to place a new house in the empty spot. Instead, staff will place a new house there and that house will be put into the lottery system for a future drawing.
