Re: Hybrid Winter Trade Fair
The Fair ends tonight. Tomorrow morning all vendors will be returned to the setup area. Players can page to retrieve the items and gold still on their vendor.
Players have one week for this. All unclaimed vendors will be deleted on January 27th. Any items or gold still on these vendors will be deleted with them.
A word on scams at the fair(s).
For all three events, there have been players who have tried (some successfully) to scam other players at the fair. This is/was done with falsely named items, lottery scams, etc.
Although I would like to make a set-in-stone no scamming rule for the fair, it is simply not practical. Staff cannot be there to monitor the fair every minute. Too, setting a rule like that results in many false claims and staff must decide who is telling the truth if any action is to be taken.
To put it plainly, that these things need to be monitored and ruled to the full extent takes much of the enjoyment away from the event for both the players And the staff. This does not mean I have not noticed who is trading honestly and who is looking to cheat others players.
For those that find it enjoyable to make their gold at server hosted fairs like this by scamming, you may soon find you are not allowed entry to my events.
Use some common sense and decency. This is supposed to be a game, fun for all.
For all of you who participated honestly at the fair (the majority
), I thank you for making this event a success.
And finally (and of great importance!)
If you enjoyed the event, please leave a much earned thank you for Mika and Lynn. Murphy's Law prevented me from attending to most of the setup. Without them, this fair would never have happened this weekend as planned.
Thanks to both of you!!
