Item Replacement

[Durgrimst]

Does anyone know if the one time item replacement actually exists, and if so, what are the requirements for it to happen?

Any help would be great.

-Thanks

Probably anything not mandated by TOS.

I.e., if you have a special door made for your Premium home, and lost it because you put your account on hold, and then have to redo the three month period in order to just hope a house alterer shows up somewhere in Elanthia, then that's the sort of non-replacement policy that'd be more permanent.

If somehow your broadsword was lost to disarm mechanics, and someone else happened to pick it up, that's also frustration.

Essentially, the closer you are to having accidentally put your 10x gear in the waste basket, the better your one-time replacement outcome.

[Durgrimst]

Say my 10x maul was dropped due to itchy curse from a Grim, and then I was voided and it killed me on its way into the void.

[Drew]

I thought registered weapons couldn't get sucked into a void?

[AestheticDeath]

Wasn't registered. He owned the 10x thing for a while before he was 25, so by the time he could hold it, he apparently forgot to register it.

[Durgrimst]

It is true, I'm a dumbass, but I want my weapon back. Any ideas while I wait for a GM to get to me?

[The Ponzzz]

Items lost to normal game mechanics are in most cases SOL. That there is a normal game mechanic.

[justincredible]

Had a superior eonake morning-star sucked into a grim void and was given the "game mechanics" line of bull. Actually they told me that my star wasn't sucked into a void...

A single item, about 14 feet from the void, was picked up and disappeared in the blackness. It did 6 damage as it caromed off XXX. The void disappears without further incident.


Looks like (and felt like) my damn star was sucked into a void. I hate feedback

[Stanley Burrell]

Anyone who actually does take the time to explain to you the significance of registration is getting CUT. WEETH A KNIYUF, MAING.

[Durgrimst]

And they said that they wont replace it due to its loss was basic game mechanic's?

It seems you have died, my friend. Although you cannot do anything, you are keenly aware of what is going on around you...

You mentally give a sigh of relief as you remember that the Goddess Lorminstra owes you a favor.

[AestheticDeath]

Actually you JUST got that thing altered right? Do GMs not register shit after that? I would think its like an automatic thing.

[thefarmer]

Ouch.

I'd have been afraid to take that into a warcamp.

[Drew]

Wow, who owns an unregistered 10x item? That's just begging for trouble. Bad break.

[Drew]

Some GMs will register it for you but it's up to them, some do, some don't.

[Durgrimst]

I wasn't in a warcamp. And yes, it is not registered, I only turned 25 recently, had it altered, and then didn't even think to register it.

[diethx]

Actually you JUST got that thing altered right? Do GMs not register shit after that? I would think its like an automatic thing.

I'd say that every alter i've gotten in the past year or so has been registered to me by the merchant who did it before they passed it back over.

[Peanut Butter Jelly Time]

e-tardation strikes the best of us! Anywho, you're pretty much fucked. Should I be able to sell my daisho sooner or later, I'll chip in a million silvers your way to help with some kind of replacement fund! (no joke)

[Back]

I’ve had a ONE TIME replacement. Assist for it.

[Durgrimst]

I’ve had a ONE TIME replacement. Assist for it.

What were the circumstances?

[Peanut Butter Jelly Time]

In all honesty, you may be able to use it either way. Odds are, it's 10x, so it's worth trying either way. You have clear logs of the events, and apparently a few people who would vouch for authenticity, and provided you have a record of the merchant interaction, you might be free and clear, minus your one time replacement.

You just quoted yourself, to post a cartoon Mexican saluting nothing with a knife. Kudos to you.

[AestheticDeath]

yeah he is almost as crazy as you PB&JT

:P

[Peanut Butter Jelly Time]

...I must increase the margin of victory, then!

[The Ponzzz]

That's actually an image of Stanley back in his cartoon days. He'll fucking cut you, bitch.

[Back]

What were the circumstances?

Had a weapon snatched from my corpse. The person who got it back could not drop it because it was cursed. They symbol of holyed and it disintegrated. Neither of us knew that would happen. I assisted, explained and was told to think very carefully if I wanted it returned because it would be the only thing I could ever have returned ever.

It never hurts to ask.

[justincredible]

In all of my recent interactions with simu staff I've yet to hear about a 1 time replacement option. I've been around in one form or another for about 10 years and never had anything replaced, never even had the nerve to ask before this most recent incident and the option was not even mentioned by feedback or the reps in game I dealt with. If you can talk them into it you deserve your weapon back.

I went with trying to argue this was an atypical game instance but, again, I was told my star didn't go in the void and was lost by "normal game mechanics." Also I was told that grim voids are normal game mechanics. I'd go the begging and pleading route, rather than the logical argument route.

::Begin rant::
But these are the same IDIOTS that told me my star was not sucked into a void so there maybe a chance you get to deal with a person with a bit of sense or a bit of sympathy...But I wouldn't hold my breath, this is GS after all and we know how anti-pc they can get.

I know, just have your GM friend copy his mega-death maul for you...or open up his GM only area...or exploit a glitch to have unlimited TPs...or engage in one of the many activities that are much more destructive to the game than getting a weapon back lost by something I still think is outside of the normal game parameters
::Rant end::

[FinisWolf]

Hey Durg,

You know I will vouch that I was the one that had that altered for you. Let me know if you need me to explain that to them.

[Joe]

Critter-cast voids will suck up anything, registered or not. At least, that's what I remember, anyway.

[Amaron]

If it was not registered then the one time policy (if there was one) would not go into affect. They will not replace items that are not registered.

[Khariz]

Correct!

[Drisco]

u r FUCKED

[Peanut Butter Jelly Time]

Eh, sorry to hear. My offer still stands. Once I sell the daisho, I'll toss ya a million to try and get you off and running again!

[Back]

Yeah, mine was registered just a few days before. Always register. You can do it in any room now.

Sorry to hear about it regardless. I’ll chip into the pool.

[Stanley Burrell]

That's actually an image of Stanley back in his cartoon days. He'll fucking cut you, bitch.

I wonder how many implodes daily I'd get RP'ing that persona.

At least 5.
