Token giveaway in Free Shop
There appears to be a wizard token giveaway going on in the free shop. Mostly 1 point tokens, but I thought I'd give a heads-up.
Re: Token giveaway in Free Shop
There's stuff other than tokens being given away, too. I just got a Calvin Blackmoon Plushie. Kind of a random time for a giveaway, especially so soon after the big cash shop sale, but I'm definitely not complaining! Maybe it's just to help kill some time between holidays.
It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live.

Yeah, I got a Bear Plushie and a 50 point token. That's all so far, though -- I seem to keep missing the boxes. They're going quickly!

I always feel weird when the staff says "delete or freeze." It feels too dictator-y or me... :-\
Re: Token giveaway in Free Shop
Well, what would you want the alternative to be? The vast majority of users understand that some items are NPC-only, and if one or two people managed to get them through a glitch and tried to sell them or even show them off in a gallery, that's inherently unfair. There's nothing "dictator-y" about having your players follow a few simple rules on site.Bacon wrote:I always feel weird when the staff says "delete or freeze." It feels too dictator-y or me... :-\
I think it was nice that the downtime screen even told us specifically what rarities are glitched items that shouldn't have been given out. People really have no excuse if they decide to sell an item that they can't find in any trade, shop, or through a forum search at this point.

Re: Token giveaway in Free Shop
Ditto Tiki. I'm glad they were so imformative about it all instead of keeping people in the dark.
Now I must say I'm happy to be having a free shop event! I just enjoy these so much. Though who wouldn't enjoy free things. XD I like that they've thrown a mixture of things in there too. I just got a subetique item!
I always like the surprise of what you're going to get. But boy is that stuff going fast. Also the restock times are random. There was once I sat there, checking the site for 13 minutes. Then I get up to do one quick things, check and I just missed the restock. Should of saw that coming. ^-^; Oh well!
Good luck to everyone on snatching some items you want!

True, it is unfair, and since they made a news post explain the situation, freezing should be necessary now.

Re: Token giveaway in Free Shop
I wish they had been more explicit that it wasn't ONLY uber-rare, NPC-only items that should be considered in error. If I hadn't read the comments -- which I don't usually do -- I wouldn't have realized that the Humming Power Crystal I got was one of the erroneous items.
It appears to have been deleted now.

Re: Token giveaway in Free Shop
I'm pretty sure the humming power crystals were given away in the free shop before. But they weren't specified as being all right, but... pretty sure I got some last time.

Re: Token giveaway in Free Shop
Well, my Humming Power Crystal appears to have been deleted.
I doubt they're freezing anyone over Humming Power Crystals. (As well they shouldn't... it was their mistake, after all!)

Re: Token giveaway in Free Shop
I do have to agree about the HPCs. I only grabbed one, and happened to vault it instead of putting it in my bank, which would have been a slight PITA to replace and then delete. Oh well.
On the bright side, did anyone get anything of value? I only managed to grab around 250 tokens before all the random items were thrown in, at which point I got nothing but 100 sP wardrobe items. XD

Re: Token giveaway in Free Shop
I got a few rare items, though nothing really noteworthy, the highest being worth a little over a mill. I find it sort of amusing that this was supposed to be mainly a token giveaway and I got a grand total of 2 one point tokens
Wanna donate towards my drink gallery, the Golden Goblet.

Re: Token giveaway in Free Shop
I didn't get to take part in the giveaway until the crappy wardrobe items were thrown in. But I got twice as many tokens as you, Seerow! Hahahaha what a take!
Re: Token giveaway in Free Shop
I think I might have grabbed a 5 point token! woohoo win1!!1! But I mostly got relatively cheap items, but many of them I hadn't seen before and they were pretty so I am happy.
