Either this or use the confiscated Luna plots to hold an auction (using in game auction safes) to give players the opportunity to get them back. As somebody said in the other thread it would also be a good gold sink.I hope Mesanna will eventually make some sort of museum with all the confiscated 1/1 items... to avoid losing all of that history forever.
Personally I feel that IDOC scripters who get 80% of the items need to be seriously looked at and ban hammer them. The same with the house placement scripters. Lets not forget the scammers, I'm sure there are one or two scammers/scripters we could all name and for some reason they still have accounts. These are people who really do mess it up for everyone else, yet nothing happens to them. Clops got banned, now lets see some more bans to make this game better for everyone in an equal way.don't let the house plots fall to scripters.
Wouldn't it be nice if the IDOC loot and placement scripters were sent to jail prior to and during the falls? Maybe the unique rares/eggs wouldn't so easily end up in just a few of the cheaters' baskets. Sad day if historical items get smashed by the ban hammer too.Personally I feel that IDOC scripters who get 80% of the items need to be seriously looked at and ban hammer them.

I did not mean to make a memorial. But let's face the facts, only a few people would get them in a house fall and the average person could never afford to buy them on the auction safe idea. Most of these items were ONLY ever going to be owned by a few select people in game anyhow. So for the rest of the population it would be nice if they were still able to drool over such amazing legal items. Just my two cents..We should absolutely not have a museum made of all the legit items in its place. I see that as nothing more than a memorial to the person who was the reason we lost it all. The whole thing sickens me and I would prefer not to walk by a daily reminder of it.
From the looks of it, the items appear to have already been deleted since you can no longer see any of them from the outside like you could 2 days ago. Clops stated in his post there were over 150 unique items and I for one would like to see a list. It would at least provide protection to the community to know what was truly lost.
We moved the thread from Uhall to here in the rares forum actually, since this was primarily a rares collecting issue.@ et all... link to the uhall posts please? I am sooo behind on this....

They were deleted...*tiny violin*Clops bought it not long ago, unfortunately, and now it is gone.

The information about whether or not the items have been deleted is not covered under an NDA, since I am not under contract regarding this dispute and neither is my source of information. Feel free to read through your rules and regulations for more details, but in the meantime enjoy a coke and a smile friend...or was it Ronald McDonald...I don't remember.If @Restroom Cowboy knows this then we have a whole other issue on our hand, still.. Mesanna hasn't made an announcement so the only way you would know is if an em or dev broke their NDA and is disclosing information. Hopefully they get their items deleted as well to be fair to us players who don't have someone on the inside feeding us info about events, upcoming changes, etc.
Clops said so himself...though there might be a TINY TINY TINY chance that she does something cool with the legit stuff....If @Restroom Cowboy knows this then we have a whole other issue on our hand, still..

So maybe instead of memorializing his house she could put a copy of all of them in the rewards hall on their respective shards. Let me be really clear - I am extremely upset that it appears these items have been deleted. At the same time I don't think they should just be put back in the house and the house left standing. And I don't want the scripters to get it either. I would rather see a house on fire like Draconi did back in the day. But none of this is the point of this thread...I did not mean to make a memorial.

It's not about bashing anyone. It's about realizing that crap like this hurts the community and the game. It's about coming together as a community and making sure this doesn't happen again. It's about ensuring Mesanna and all staff that we still trust them and look forward to the game they're putting forward.sigh, again... Sorry folks but some of the comments are getting into the don't need to be said arena. It's sad on multiple levels, but bashing Clops, Mesanna, the EMs, not gonna help. It is what it is, and for the most part it is over and done with. Shouldn't we focus on moving forward and playing the game? Sorry just my humble opinion...
The only thing that will ensure Mesanna and staff is your 13 dollars a month. Problems usually start at the top and work there way down. Ill leave it at that so we dont get this thread locked.It's not about bashing anyone. It's about realizing that crap like this hurts the community and the game.

Nothing Positive can come out of this. Gold sink?. All the gold sellers will just buy all the stuff and then turn around and sell for rl$.@Mesanna
The only positive I can think could come from this would be a giant sucking of gold from the economy, if you were to auction the plots and items and delete all the gold that comes from that auction. I could easily see 1,000 plat or more being generated and delete via such an auction. There are not many single sources that could generate that kind of proceeds, or benefit the economy so dramatically, but this is one of those few. In addition, I think allowing these items, many of them unique with long histories, to remain in the hands of players would be celebrated by all collectors.
If there's too much to handle logistically, I would be willing to volunteer my services to sort through all the stuff and pull off such an auction, and I'm willing to do it without personal benefit of any kind.
Let me know.

Yeah... glad to see all the real history will not just fall by the wayside. The lady eats, breathes and bleeds the game... sure, like everyone else she is human and does not always make the right decisions (in hindsight - as well all battle with) but she nailed this decision imho.Now this is great news!
I took that to mean she would be deleting the illegal ones.I think she means just the houses....notice what she said at the end?
Question ~ Are all his rares gone?
Answer ~ YES I am not letting those get out
So the raffle is for the houses only....which is a really awesome idea!
That's for the 20th anniversary for people who show up to the party she's giving away 3 and she'll be giving away 3 more in game....do you read the newletters? She's doing it the same way...she's going to put an item on Test Center for us to register at. This has nothing to do with Clops's houses, she said she will be raffling off his houses the same way as the castles. HOUSES not houses and items.
I think she meant she will be giving away 3 completely new castles at the 20th anniversary party in real life, not current castles. She would just place them somewhere and give them to people at the party.where the 3 castle?
Correction:I think she meant she will be giving away 3 completely new castles at the 20th anniversary party in real life, not current castles. She would just place them somewhere and give them to people at the party.
Which is totally fine. No one Stop you from having 10 Accounts alsoI think the poll is a great idea but some people with more than 10+ accounts will enter all account for the poll giving them a higher chance which I find unfair and I believe it should be only 1 entry per person. Not sure if there's a way for this to happen but that's my thought on the poll.
