Guild Castles and "Royal Possession"

As of my time of discovery (6/30/19), on the Nao server guild castles are set to 'Royal Possession'. I've inquired to Nexon concerning this and have only been informed that they're 'looking into it'. I have no way of checking Alexina to see if this is happening on there as well.

When you click on the castle menu it simply says "You may not auction this castle it is set to Royal Possession".

Clicking on castle information bulletin gives this dialogue.

Edit: I have screenshots of the other three castles that say the same thing but there seems to be little point. I'll update this when Nexon gets back to me with a better response.

Update: as of 04/05/2018 guild castles have been under 'royal possession'. Due to the new Auction House, it was determined that guild castles are no longer to be run by guilds and have been set to permanent GM control. I've been informed by a GM of the following:

We apologize for the delayed response and thank you for your cooperation.

Regarding your concern about the Guild Castles Error when you Bid which states " that they are in Royal Possession ", please be advise about the Auction house Home Update(Link). All Castles in the Marketplace channel are no longer able to be bid upon, as Houses are no longer controlled by the player guilds. Hope this clears up your concern.

Should you have any questions or concerns in regards to another matter, please do not hesitate to submit a new ticket with a detailed explanation of the issue.​​ Have a nice day ahead! Sincerely,

GM Raskrellia Nexon Player Support

I will update the main page tomorrow.

Here is a photo of the response by Nexon America concerning guild castles for reference as the above mentioned article does not clearly state that guild castles were removed from player control.
