Bobar my little love... the point was and i reitterate this most highly.
Those who lost their gift before the help started are totaly fubared.
They are out of the chance to get another... as this is a 1 per shard per account gifting.
Many are not like myself who can aford to get a few on others accounts, these players they have 1 and only 1 account.
Oh I can understand he is a great devilish EM and has a great following for his imaginative hunts and challenges for the game..
I too can be a devil when i want.....
but i will not make a gift givng time utter hell for the lesser trained/crafter who in all respects cant defend themselves. There is limits.
Had he done wimsey... or a chain hunt to get it thats fine.... but to make it without help damn near impossible....
I draw the line.

I AGAIN SAY BRAVO!!! TO THE PLAYERS OF ATLANTIC FOR THEIR HELP TO THE LESSER POWERED PLAYERS FOR GETTING THEIR GIFTS. THANK YOU.

My Lady,
I think what we need is a special Atlantic Christmas Toy Guard 2013 Special Appeal, for those with only one account who as you say have shamefully been put through "utter hell" during this orcish slaughter.
What I suggest we do is find someone with multiple accounts who could kickstart such an appeal for the needy by donating some of their own Christmas toy guards to the unfortunate. I think with someone as revered as yourself as the figurehead of this campaign we could raise AN ARMY of toy guards for those who missed out due to the "devilish" actions of EM Bennu.
Perhaps you could turn one of your castles into a temporary shelter and collection centre for those who fell in Orc Dungeon.
I myself will donate both of my toy guards on Drachenfels towards your most noble endeavours.

how kind of you.. and i know many of us would do the same but the point was to ....ask EM bennu to perhaps modify his gift giving wild hair....
I have given quite a few of my statues to those i rezed and found their bones long gone...
That place if some have not gone yet is a den of every orc on the planet... mages, archers, stealthers, bombers, and so forth...
Many of the upstanding of Atlantic have provided gates and most are getting their gift with little trouble... why i gave my thanks to them for this noble effort.
I am not saying Bennu is a bad em..on the contrary... he seems to be a most imaginative person and well fit for the job of henchman to Mesanna's em team..
There are just a few times Death shouldnt enter the picture... this being one of them.

i think EM Bennu should put another chest out at the luna bank inn so people dont have to even take a step to get it.
but i think the toy soldier should be beat all to hell, bandaged up, using a crutch and be sporting a eye patch.

just so we can always remember and celebrate this event.

some of us can remember it for the fun it was.
other..... can remember it for what it was for them.

see, i can be nice when i want to be!

I said I won't sell them, but I will donate 2 of them to you for the players you know who only have 1 account that lost theirs. My UO hubby took his, and I'm keeping one for myself leaving 2 left over just let me know.

I'm pretty sure Balhae got it's toybox today, but I have no idea where it is. I've checked Luna, Tram WBB, Tram Brit EM hall, and Tram Reward Hall; no luck.

Tip for searchers; Balhae is mostly reds, centered on the fel crossroads...

anyone can spare or sell hokuto one plz i missed it :(
from what i understand those are gonna be rare.
as they are missing the T in Toys, so they say blah blah blah here is your Oy from the EM.

which is also probably why the chest got yanked down after only 1 day.

Brian, I'm too swamped to log in this evening. However, two other places to check on Balhae are (1) Castle Blackthorn (the statue for the Valentine's Day roses was located there earlier this year, in the room north of the dining room), and (2) the Britain farm fields (there is a very large walled area there on Balhae and that is where the Easter statue was earlier this year ). When checking the area in the farm fields, be sure to use Control-Shift, as the box might be in an area that is up stairs and/or covered by a roof. It might not be just sitting out in the open.)

Also, if you plan to collect a statue on Formosa, be prepared to do it the same night as the event, as the EM might pull the boy box shortly after the event, as was done with the statue for the Valentine's Day roses. And if the statue is at the EM hall, it might become unreachable after a day or so.

Lady CaT hit it on the head, use a mask.....bag of sending......rushing in for a gimmie without thinking......not good.
Even if I didn't have a thief, I would have thought it out before hand....they're just orcs.

Err that IS the point I was making, unfortunately for some reason clicking on reply to a post does not work for me so I have had to copy and paste , therefore my post starts with the post by another that I was trying to reply to.

ALSO the 4th man

'Lady CaT hit it on the head, use a mask.....bag of sending......rushing in for a gimmie without thinking......not good.

At the time this happened gates were used to get to the box. With no prior knowledge of what is the other side of a gate how do you think it out it out beforehand? are you blessed with prescience? do you perhaps use a crystal ball to gain foreknowledge? We do not all have your obvious gift of divination.

'Use a mask' hmmm - hindsight is a wonderful thing and we unfortunately, not possessing the foresight to go through a gate to collect a gift and remembering to take a mask with us (as you always do) failed to do just that.

'Bag of sending' Fancy that!, I did have one of those, 'did' being the operative word because that together with the toy which I glimpsed just before I died is long gone together with the rest of my things.

'they're just orcs. ' Best joke I have seen tonight, they might be just orcs to you but when the screen is chockfull of them , as it was , death came to all there, newbie , warrior or thief in very short order.

All in all, not a pleasant experience, the only relieving factor being the willingness to help and assist attempted by those Atlantic players present, death being their reward too unfortunately. I am not overly concerned about the loss of the gift itself, but the manner of the loss, for which I see no justification.

For those collecting the EM Guard from the toy chests, you might know the toy chest on Atlantic is in the orc dungeon. What I did was to use my thief and stealth in to the chest, marked a ruin right next to it, so I could gate char from my other accounts in and out (get the guard) with 1 gate. Worked nicely, no casualties.
