    if you won any of the houses through the raffle, would you contact me please or post in the thread


    1. I'd like to buy the houses over time
    2. I think it'd be nice to know if all of the Hcoin houses have been won so those of us trying to win them know when it's time to stop spinning :)



    Thank you!

    The thing about this plat raffle is that unlike the HC raffle, if you dont get a house you've just wasted a bunch of plat. I really think that the system would be enhanced with some sort of sub prizes the way the HC one is. Keep the properties rare, but at least the player gets something out of it - even if it's lesser than the value spent. I believe if this was the case, all the properties would have been scooped up by now.

    Right, I thought it'd be nice to have an update if all (or what) of the MI hcoin houses are won, personally I'll stop spending gold on hcoins at that point.


    I think there is a keep, 2 towers, a fort, a small house 2 villas, a log, and a small tower. One tower and the fort are on the plat raffle and the rest are hcoin


    I've been told a couple of the hcoin houses have been won, though the deeds haven't been claimed (houses should decay at that point I'd say)

    Totally agree. With the all or nothing approach, I am not gonna waste platinum on it. Plat value is too much to roll with zero return.

    To me :) Peace (you're my boy blue)



    I'm going to try to get all of the houses on the Island, this may take a long long time. But I have an idea for a fun project. I'll also make a community pact that if anything happens to where I leave or where I die or something that I'd like the houses to revert back to the server for another raffle because this was a great and fun idea.

    I know there was a keep, and Large Patio in the HC lotto I think the keep had been won but not certain. Hope this helps

    @Chris


    can you verify which houses have been won already? I've been taking huge losses on these hcoin spins and def want to not go for it, if the houses are all gone.



    Thankee sir

    The villas are in red, which have been won. The two larger properties, which are a castle or fort or keep, are still available.

    If you want a chance at the remaining houses consider this...

    You're very likely the only gambler at the table.

    Good luck.

    yeah I've had 10 crap hcoin draws in a row (last was a 2 dye runebook tub)



    haven't had enough plat to try for that one yet, but it's looking rough boys, it's looking rough


    prob easier to save 100 mil to buy the island than to spend 100 mil and still not win


    think how rough the boss statue drops are at 1/250

    that makes the MI houses seem impossible
