Chatting to a friend, it seems like this late addition caused some problems for them. This was not my intention and was merely because I was busy doing all the other organisation and when writing the post I missed it. As I have said before (but it seems no one believes me 😅) there is so much organising to be done which means I am unable to reply to some things promptly. In future auctions, if nothing else is listed in the initial post but I had originally intended it to be, I will ensure the creatures match the original post entirely. In this instance I would remove all their age and tokens. This will then ensure that the auction will not change halfway through. Apologies again for this, While I always intended to have this present as an extra piece of "Anniversary Magic" I did not intend to have it cause problems.

May? I "hide" the information in announcements, no one (apparently not even Death Ray) reads them!

Hi all, Since a few people have contacted me asking whats going on, I will summarize: I am waiting on various decisions from Death Ray about the contest I'm not clear on the location where its starting, or why we need to go there I'm not sure about the rules with respect to where you can go during the contest I do not know when it will start I do not know how long stage 2 will last, or the locations it will be run in I am hoping DR will clarify this before the contest starts

FYI I noticed this at GoE: I do not believe this is a prank but @death ray can you confirm what you want participants to do please. Edit: actually I'm not sure what scene he means...

I am signing up so that I can win and kill Ledah twice.

No new ones are created, we always have X, but X are kept back and slowly distributed. I hope to always have a few to distribute either through "buy backs" or similar.

Hmm I wonder what has caused that! I will have a nosy tomorrow, thanks for the reports all!

I believe I have fixed this, please let me know if they have returned now. Many thanks Fyrd

This is correct. Something to consider, which is why games/etc make some things rarer/harder is that the rarer things are, the more you value them when you manage to attain them. Studies have shown that a lot of the enjoyment in games and in life more generally is attained by getting something through effort. By spending time on something you value it more and get more enjoyment out of attaining it. With games there is an important balance between something being rare, and being too easy and "worthless". To reference another game, In Pokemon Go some Pokemon can be shiny, the chance is quite low unless it is a special event so they are valued. A lot of players within the community get annoyed if suddenly an event is announced that makes a particular shiny more common, especially if they worked hard to get it. They also don't value the "easy" shinies as there is no skill/effort involved to get them. Some even get quite angry after getting the "useless" common shinies. There are also some players within the community that can't handle the fact that it takes effort to achieve some things and leave, they get frustrated by it. Thats fine, not every game is for everyone. We actively monitor creatures available/active in the realm when we create quest prizes and similar things, the auction is based on some of the "wanted" items for example. If you think something is impossible/too hard to attain, let me know in a PM and I shall consider what we might do to change it.

For this year, no, I shall consider this in future years. Please note it does not say you must state them publicly. Sending me a PM stating whose they are would also fit these rules. But for this year please keep it on the thread for my ease.

@Else asked me about this. To clarify, the creatures must be on your account at the time of tokening, feel free to trade them from others and then trade them back. To ease me performing this for you please ensure they are all on your account when you want them tokened and send me the creatures ID's

Sorry I believed you were talking about prision since you referred to your prision papers. What do you mean by "In my opinion prision isn't open"? As far as I am aware, its not an opinion whether it is or isn't open, its a fact its open (unless someone from A25 has changed it again)? Could you clarify please. Yep it would be The example Kyphis gave of the gg key is a permanent unlock. You would need to use temporary keys or triggers like the land papers. As I said though, how its implemented technically is not something people should worry about. Thats Mur and mine concerns. I'm not really sure what you mean by stating it would not

Really it would be more like land papers which grant it based on a trigger but you shouldn’t need to worry about that.

Isn’t the prison entirely open? What’s the need for land papers?

I have confirmed Anruil exists and is on the plushie scoreboard, and has the correct amount of plushies for the above bids. Although I can understand why people missed their account. Ah well sometimes things are not as they seem Yes if there are any concerns feel free to message me directly.

Age not being something you can artificially increase makes it special and IMO that’s wonderfully unique.

Creature please ❤️

I think thats disingenuous, a little rude, and quite misrepresentative. Mur puts a lot of time into this and to mispresent it as "He didn't have time to figure it out" is wrong. Please consider your words more carefully next time Fyrd, Thank you. To summarize the PM Fyrd, Mur, and myself were in: Fyrd pointed out the daily Winertia boost for small accounts was incredibly high and needed changing Initially Mur misunderstood the report and was looking at the amount gained per day, and not the temporary value given An initial fix was made but that was still using fixed values of Winertia and not based on the max winertia. This still meant that new accounts would receive quite a large (in comparison to their max winertia) temporary boost Mur made a change to take into account max winertia, although that needed a tweak to fix it The "gained" winertia should be based on this: restored_wi = current_wi - min(wi_max,(current_wi+(wi_max/10))) I'm not clear if its fixed, but since the PM ended with Fyrd being rewarded, I assume its all fine. If its not fine we can look into it more, but as I said my understanding was that it was fixed to what Mur wanted it to be and thusly Fyrd was rewarded.

Please note that I missed off some of the service/item in Items 8, 9, 10, and 12. I have added their ID's, age, and notice of the full tokening service.
