It also drops houses whose accounts were on shorter decays. So, accounts who started over xmas break in 2014, played for a couple months or so, and then never logged in again will be decaying right around now. We've had house drops many times throughout the last couple days, too, not just at that time :)

House drops are in a transitional period and are dropped manually, not all at once but still in small batches. Houses that dropped today were from players that last logged in in the end of 2014. There's still plenty in queue... I guess what you wanted to request, is that there would be smaller batches, more frequently, will keep that in mind.

You have quite a radar to have detected almost all of them today :)

And a quick disclaimer, to prevent possible conspiracy theories: only I know when they drop, so there's no chance of any player having an unfair advantage to pick what drops.

no worries, like he said - even the rest of the staff don't know much about the house drops, and we never know when they will happen either. So it's a learning experience for us too :lol:
