a GM/EM/Seer on Lake Superior shard forgot to lock them down.
Ummm, They fell out of a GM's backpack or were lifted from said backpack by a thief.
Everyone knows GMs eat donuts and drink coffee instead of answering pages!!! ROTFL

My vote is on this. They were a daily rare in town
Upon first seeing this thread yesterday, I went and read that. I never thought I would look into the origin of baked goods but it amazes me the random things you learn from playing UO.
They were originally spawned on LS by a GM during a Birthday event. He spawned 8-9k of them and people were able to remove them from the pile versus just double-clicking and eating them. Since then they have been reproduced via the stacking bugs over the years. They pop up on vendors for 300-500k per, nice deco but not a rare. I have also heard that there has been other events where donuts piles were left out and people could also remove them, so im sure they have been able to be obtained several times since the original event on LS.
Are you trying to say these were exclusive to LS? Because these have been a part of other shards long before transfer tokens existed.
Not exclusive no, but it was one of the origins of them. I did mention that I have heard they were available via other means also do not know why you just quoted half my post. I posted what i knew as I was at the event on LS (2000ish)

Ah, it was LS I was thinking of over in the rares forum. According to Bloodtile, at least one of the Japanese shards also had donuts floating around, prior to xfers being available.
Donuts and a cup of coffee make a nice deco setting and the statement you've ran out of reasonable things to throw gold at Naturally have the donuts sitting on some sort of rare plate

I tapped the reply button and typed, I didn't edit any part of your quote. But that last sentence wasn't there when I first replied either.
I'm going to disagree that they "started" there. I have no doubt that a good majority came from there, but I also believe these were on more than 1 shard before shard transfers came to be.
Doesn't anyone think its funny that UO has donuts, but NO cops! ROTFLMAO Cops and donuts!!! hehehehe
I always thought it would be great to steal a donut truck to watch the cops chase it!
In college I remember a criminal justice major telling me as a joke his professor showed a video on the proper way to eat a donut without soiling their uniforms.
UO has guards not cops. Semantics...?
I was a supervisor in the public works department which also maintained all the cities vehicles. That included cop cars. A rather well respected officer brought in his car with a bit of front end damage. Story turned out he was eating a jelly doughnut. Some jelly spilled on his shirt. While attempting to wipe it off he lost control of the car and slid into a pole. Naturally that was hilarious. In the back of my head I always wondered if he made up this excellent story to cover up what really happened cause everyone immediately loved the doughnut story.
