I have been bidding on this castle and when I found out that this was Lady Pheonix's place I took it a step further. I spoke with the new owner via ICQ and have been speaking to this person for about a week now. I briefly explained how important it was to the server to keep this castle and the contents inside. I also offered a very large amount in hopes that I would end this and be able to put most of the castle back to its original state.
The new owner responded by saying that he "placed" the castle and that the items inside are from him. When I said that I would still buy the castle... "just name your price" there was no response. After a few moments he responded with "there is a skywalk"? The manor in which this statement was made would make me believe that he did not place this skywalk.
Does anyone know if it was there prior to him? If so.. then he did not place the castle. In any case you can't get a straight answer from this person on anything and he clearly is not selling the castle... just having fun with everyone apparently.
Sadly.. I have done all I can do. Back to the search for a castle.. sigh
