Report your Bridge of the 2 kings IDOC adventures and loots!
Posted: Sun Jul 14, 2013 2:00 pm
Hello all, for thos who don't know, the tower at the bridge of the 2 kings fell today at roughly 12:48'ish(?) EST. I have a small stone close by and am always watching this property for the owner as I wanted to buy it. Then earlier in the week I noticed the building starting to decay. I watched it over the days going from fairly to greatly worn then finally into IDOC at what I thought was about midnight on Saturday.
This was the first time I've ever witnessed an IDOC, so heres the story if you care to hear it.
I did some fishing around on-line and read in a few places that the IDOC stage lasts roughly 7 hours, some threads claimed to be able to time it down to the minute. Well, that was all horse shit. I started watching it closely around 2:30am off-screen with movies etc. Server restart came and went. 13 hours later the thing is still standing. I waited in some bushes just off the edge of the tower. A lot of people hugging the walls got destroyed by the filthy red state of North Korea. But still I waited with my little house deed in my bag ready to drop placement. I also got my other 2 accounts set up with deeds/macros and had them standing ready.
Nothing happened for a very loooong time. But around 12:45 I noticed a lot of activity. Up until this point there weren't many people there at all, but all of a sudden about a half a dozen people showed up n started running around and shit. I figured correctly that these people had a much more accurate drop time somehow. I wasn't sure what to expect, a noise or some animation but nope. Suddenly the tower just wasn't there anymore. I immediately hit the house placement macro I had set up, unfortunately the house couldn't be placed. People were still not reacting, so I tried a few more locations quickly. Unfortunately, it still wouldn't place and I was thinking its a grandfathered plot. By this time people were finally reacting, starting to pop gates and grab crates.
So I joined in and grabbed about 20 crates and a few other containers, making 3 trips, the final run of course coming up pretty dry. A funny thing happened tho, under some junk tables and deco cloth piles a little red pouch popped up, I think it is one of the holiday/event colored things, kind of a dark red. I grabbed it and went to move it and it disappeared, someone was a step quicker.
Another person got a great small house placement off on the west side of the plot. I continued trying to place East at this point but about a dozen people were milling around. I popped to the bank and went thru my crates. Here is the valuable (?) stuff I think I got.
2 wig stands
3 small rocks
pile of hay
cannonballs
piles of ingots of different colors layed out in diff. directions.
easter baskets/containers of various shapes/types
a whole shit ton of easter eggs and I mean like 200 of them
2 empty tubs (?)
I'm not sure what the current market value of this stuff is, if anyone cares to enlighten me. For waiting all that time I was really hoping to get a house placement. And out of 20 crates I dunno this seems like a small haul but again I don't know the value of this shit. And whats with the crap crafted crates? Thats just ghetto. But whats really killing me... I need to know what was in that little red pouch I missed by like a fraction of a second.
Anyone else wanna share what they got? Who got the 2 house placements?
