Would it be against the rules...

Alright so I am getting a few PM's asking for the account, not really how I want to do it. Ambrotos was going to talk to Sirken to see, and Sirken hath spoken. No big deal, just going to decide if I give it away to a random newbie or do a free draw. Will update soon, toon give away probably on monday.

Also clean as a whistle here folks, literally no interest in playing.

Back in the live days, I had a friend who was hunting near the bridge to South Karana, when someone announced to the zone that the first player to meet them on the bridge would receive 4 thousand platinum. As he was fairly lowbie at the time, he made haste to run for the bridge.

He had the bridge, and the player conducting the giveaway clearly in sight, and confirmed he would arrive shortly to the bridge first, to collect this fantastic prize!

That's when EQ suddenly crashed on him, a mere few seconds away from victory, and it is also when the shouting and throwing of things began.

He attempted to log back in as quickly as possible, just in time to see the sponsor of the platinum prize congratulating another player for being first to the bridge. I found this endlessly amusing but had to pretend that I was concerned for his "loss", as the anger was palpable.

Your thread reminded me of this, and brought back a chuckle or two!
