    This will be the Sixth Lot Deed Raffle. For this raffle, we dropped the numbers lower to better match current demand and pace remaining stock.

    There will be no free raffle tickets with this Raffle. Tickets can be purchased with in game gold. As with the previous raffle, each person can only win a single deed of each type (maximum of one place anywhere and one POT). The drawing and winners will be announced at the start of the next release cycle.

    There are two raffles, one for each lot type:
    • Place Anywhere Deeds (10):
      • Row: 5
      • Village: 3
      • Town: 1
      • City: 1
    • Player Owned Town Deeds (40):
      • Row: 20
      • Village: 12
      • Town: 6
      • City: 2

    More information about the raffles can be found in the latest Release Instructions announcement.

    A reminder for previous raffle winners to claim your deeds in the bank!

    @Berek am I wrong or did you intend the title to say Release 39?

    The easiest way if you're just starting is to visit the oracle each day and receive 500g for answering its question honestly.

    You get an experience bonus in multiplayer and being flagged for PVP - every little bit helps when out grinding and collecting mats and drops. Turn all those unwanted mats and drop items into gold and once you're leveled up a bit, PVP against other folks and be rewarded gold (or loot) through he Oracle ransom system. Sometimes you lose... but sometimes you win. Shoot me a pm and I'll help you get started with some best practices.

    Hello @Berek,

    some questions about the raffles and lot deeds:

    Must the raffle tickets be in bank account during the raffle? Is it a problem to store them in a bag?
    How much players participated in the last raffles? This would be an interesting information.
    What is the chance in % at the moment to win in this raffle?
    If someone won a lot deed before, can he play and win again? If this is so: wouldn't it be good that one player just can win once in a raffle?
    And is there an max. amount of lot deeds a player can own?

    Thank you for answering :)

    Sure thing! It doesn't matter where they are, as long as you obtain one before the deadline.

    Good question on the player count! I don't know if we keep these statistics, will ask though.

    Yes, a player can win a lot deed again if they won one in a previous raffle. Only one deed won per raffle though.

    There has been players who had them in bank and won, there has been players who had them in inventory and won, there has been players who had them in a bag in inventory and won.
    Should be no issue.

    Yes.

    No max on owning deeds.
    No max on claiming lots in player-estates (POTs).
    However there is a max of owning 3 claims in NPC towns.

    Acutally.
    Only one deed per type per raffle.
    So one player can win one place anywhere AND one POT deed.

    As per this fellow over here:

    You might have met him at some point?
    :p

    Anyone have any idea what the odds are in the raffles? I mean are we talking one in a hundred or more like one in ten thousand?

    It depends on the numbers bought. If only 10 anywhere deeds are bought and you bought one...you are guaranteed one of them.

    Now I dont know if they draw for the city first and work to row or draw row first and work to city.
