1. Give it all to me or another old school Bloodrock orc. Being able to fund the clan without mindless hours of farming (which isn't easy when you are a dexxer orc ;-) would be wonderful. Alternatively (and I don't support this obviously ;-) you can pick your favorite role play guild or guild that really supports the server and has stuck with it and give it all to them.

2. Do a basic IDOC. Give a date and time, or better yet, a random interval (like a real IDOC you don' tknow when exactly) then drop your house. This method would mean your loot will end up in the hands of mostly pks but its always fun to cause all of the meyham of people camping the area waiting.

3. Turn it into a big easter egg hunt. Scatter books with codes in them throughout major cities and dungeons (a Seer may be willing to help by strategically placing some on actual monsters). Each book can explain to bring the book to you in town to collect an award. If you use noob books you can prevent thieves from just camping you.

Then, with each book is a random prize bag. You can divide your loot among the bags however or randomly. You could say specific books go to specific bags. Either way, the person comes to you, turns in the book, verifies the code, and you hand them their loot bag (or a recall rune a random place where they can pick it up). This method also lets them personally thank you and you get to play santa and give it out (which is always fun). It would also help support the shard because you'd have a day long event (especially if the books can be in places where they won't decay) where in people will (hopefully) be online scouring the world.
I didn't know Urks could speak English. Proper English at that.

I really do like fleas idea, sounds really fun! So im private messaging him talking about how it would go down. Whoever mentioned get a new wife, lol I have to agree!! Stupid bitch! Lol. But she is right, my addiction to this game consumed alot of my life going back to 1998 so its time for me to throw in the towel at 25 yrs old. Upgraydee: to answer your question no this would not be possible for me to scamm as I expect nothing back in return. If you read the messaging correctly, im giving away my stuff not selling it. Also I could not picture me being in your shoes one day taking this game more serious then on what your missing out in our short human lives that we have. Last but not least! It is my stuff, for now! Its my decision what I want to do with it, im simply trying to find the best idea, and reward that person with possibily upgrayeeda keep. So everyone please thank him for contributing to these events! Thanks!

Don't just do one event. Have a day long series of events, ongoing and scheduled.

1. Hold an all day event where people must do something while they do their regular play. You show up at random (but high traffic) locations and give very large prizes to people who are doing whatever it is you want them to be doing.

Examples: Dressing a certain way, spamming certain text, etc.

2. Set up a building in a special configuration. Lots of chests, many trapped, others full of junk, some with really good loot. Open the doors to the public at a certain time, no holds barred. Maybe see if GMs will toss in an ancient wyrm at the top of a tower and most of the great loot be up on top with it.

3. At a publicly known time, set out on foot with an especially valuable and lootable item. Don't say where you're leaving from, but do say where you'll end up. The hunt is on. You do nothing offensive, nor do you recall, but you are stocked to the teeth with defensive gear: potions, jewelery, greater heal wands, reagents for defensive spells, etc.

4. Donate 500,000 gold to chumbucket for future [cA]-style exploits. He is low on cash again due to giving his gold out in contests!

You basically plagiarized my post/idea. Lol. Not that I really expect you read it. But I agree fully with myself and you, a big 'day long' event would be far better than a 'meet here at 10pm for free stuffz'. Regardless of whether he does it your way with lots of little events all throughout the day or my way which is effectively a "log on today and spend time playing the game and you may find lootz"...it gets people to log in which is good for everyone.

Im really leaning towards chumbuckets idea because he has me more involved into giving away my stuff. So far with flea's idea everyone says give all your stuff to flea and that's it. Im not going to do that. Im going to contact chumbuckey shortly, let him plan out my event and donate 500k to him for his idea, but if something better comes up.then just handing all my stuff to one person, I may consider you. Thanks for everyones input!

I was serious, do the whole shard a favor and keep it in your bank just in case you ever play again. If you don't plan on playing, put it all in the trash can so you can counter inflation AND reduce item count.
