Can't place house for 7 days

Today I placed a new house and demolished it to attempt a better placement. Turns out now I'm getting the 7 day prevention message, even after dropping the house and not owning any houses on any shard.

For testing purposes, I tried placing/demolishing multiple houses in Siege and the tool works fine there... I can place as many lots as I want as long as I drop the previous one, no timer involved.

Any ideas on how to get rid of the 7 day timer? Can't really play Ultima for a week without a house :D

Contacted support but they are unable to help.

    Are you a GM moonlighting as community manager? “Sorry I cannot help thee” .

    Perhaps a better response would be to empathize and educate the new player.  There may be no fix for the current situation but remind the player about house resizing. Aenvar, in the future you can stand under your house sign and say “i wish to resize my house”.  This will allow you to delete the current home and place a new one immediately without a delay.  You can place the house on the same spot, or anywhere, even on another server.  This is how idoc hunters place a new house at every idoc with no delay.

    This information was already provided to the player at the time of submission (mid-August).
    Thank you kindly for your feedback though! It's truly is nice to see other players eager to help! :)

    Thank you Mumbles, indeed, what you said was precisely what I needed to know.

    At the time of the issue, I also contacted support through e-mail, and was answered with links to a wiki explaining house placement rules.

    In any case, the week passed... Now I have a home again, finally.

    Appreciate both replies :)
