Plat/Gear Giveaway

[Gaffin 7.0]

So since I dont really play blue at all or have the time. Thought about doing a giveaway for all warriors gear, fbss, lammy's and wurmslayer, Cobalt pieces, full crafted, Iksar regen bp, hp rings and plat.

Maybe do it by rolls or trivia. What you think would be best and where?

[arsenalpow]

Dirty money / plat give away to get people banned, Nice try!

[Lojik]

I had people search for me in game, except it was on an unnamed character so they couldnt just zone in and go /who.

[Gaffin 7.0]

Dont listen to chest, he's upset that ive been banned for mq2 and somehow thinks my plat is dirty, yet my accounts havent been banned for 2 years now and the plat is legitly earned. dont turn this into RNF im looking to help people out with my stuff rotting. I gave away 200k of plat On christmas of 2012, this is not a troll.

Open to your inputs of how to do this.

[Overthetop]

Keep me updated am interested. Just started here not a warrior but can def use FBSS.

[kank]

Savor is a good dude. I would say whatever method you think is going to give you the most chuckles. Level 1 duels / arena brawl? I thought the freeport arena give away Lordbritish did was fun.

i kinda agree, people can have their i-pad ready to go during such events

[Lyrith]

Or just a second monitor. Random is just about the only real FAIR way...

[Gaffin 7.0]

Though Ive done /random for loot events clearing out mules, it really sucks to see the person not use item and sale it.

[Breeziyo]

if someone actually knows it though it'll get answerred fast

i've won something at a trivia event because i knew that koada'dal was the high elves' formal name and typed it almost instantly

[Gaffin 7.0]

Going to sleep maybe a few more comments when I wake up and check my phone.

[SamwiseRed]

gaffin lemme get that iksar BP! got a warrior im gonna level

u can always get it back when u want.

third day on p1999, could really go for some free plat :D
Not asking, just saying. ;)

Would be willing to honestly pay you back in the future if you find more time to play.
msg is proof!

[Ropefist]

Also very interested, whatever method is chosen.
New to p99 SK level 12, playing with a few buddies and we're all enjoying it heartily. Not a warrior but I'm sure there's some crossover gear.

[greenberry]

im aspiring to be a tank. would like assistance, if possible. details on event?

[Archestratie]

Maybe you could have people post their Magelo's and see who needs the items most. But to keep it fair, it would have to be a Magelo that hasn't been edited in the last few days or whatever.

[Swish]

Hope to see the items go to legit newbies struggling to buy their spells and get cheap gear rather than an EC fat cat dressed in rags... I know they turn up.

[Tomeofdiscord]

Sounds awesome could use hp rings/ plat thank you for the chance!

[Baler]

Maybe you could have people post their Magelo's and see who needs the items most.
I like this idea, so i went ahead, figured out what Mangelo is and made one!
http://wiki.project1999.com/Magelo_Blue:Baler
Edit: however this idea would require people to be honest. It also does not provide a way to show how much coin a player has.

[qombi]

Maybe you should require a certain level to random to prevent people from making a lvl 1 for the event. Level 25 or something.

[Archestratie]

He can just click on the history of each Magelo and see when it was last edited. As long as the last edit was before he started this thread, the Magelo ought to be considered legit. Unless someone just likes making fake Magelos for some reason hehe :)

[Gaffin 7.0]

Welllllll then alot of pm's but its great so many want some help. I believe there is begging and then in need asking kindly. Ethier going to do this tonight after work or tomorrow. Its hard deciding how I should do this.

You could just wander around the newbie areas on all the continents invis and see people who actually need stuff in action.

A lot of work on your part, but less chance of randomly having your kindness taken advantage of?

Guaranteed the erudites will be getting nothing for Christmas in which case :p

If you go that route, set up a format for the PM's that will make it easy for you. And anyone who doesn't follow the format, just don't even bother reading the PM. Delete it and move on. That'll weed up a bunch :)

[Ugrask]

Like anyone levels up in odus anyway? And I mean he could skip the "CITY" areas and do stuff like CB/Guk/etc. If I had a porter, I'd volunteer to run his ass around.

[Shannacore]

My paladin isn't twinked enough, please give loots.

[Numbers_]

One way to be fairly sure they aren't pseudo-newbies is to check out what they are selling in EC. People selling like, a greater lightstone and stacks of bone chips while wearing a flowing black robe aren't likely to be established players. Sometimes when selling a low level item like bronze armor, if I see them decked out in something like banded amor, i'll hit cancel during the trade and just give it to them.

Nice gesture though, good luck.

[kain200]

I have a warrior named kainarus, shaman named volcanon and a cleric named morgrul. Starting out has been pretty rough with absolutely nothing for twinking. But this is how I remembered playing the game in 99... so its fun to get even the smallest trinket. Someone who mentioned having people need to be level 25.... heh man you're skipping a ton of newbies that way. Without twinking, i've got level 4 warrior level 7 shaman and level 10 cleric. Theres no way i'd get anywhere near 25 before this guy gave his stuff out.

A guy named callabee? (I think, sorry could be wrong) just gave out lots of plat the other day in EC to newbies who showed up by assigning them numbers and randoming. It worked out pretty well (even though I got disconnected and 1018'd for 20 min and missed it!) Maybe you could do something similar by taking each item and assigning numbers to only characters that can USE the item. (and they can't be level 1 freshly made by some max level jerk) maybe level 4+ only. Someone would surely slip through the cracks but it would probably be a better chance to go to an honest newbie like myself that would love you forever for even the smallest of trinkets.

[nndiro]

you should have everyone tell you a joke, adn reward them depending on how hard you laugh.

[purpherb]

21 bar warrior here rolling around in banded. Would love somethin :)

[Glenzig]

My brother and I just started a little over a week ago. Cleric/Warrior duo. Not gonna beg for anything. But if you are doing some sort of event, I would love to be there. Can do tonight. Not sure about tomorrow night.

[daasgoot]

Q: How do you circumcise a redneck?

A: Kick his sister in the jaw.


pm me to give me phat pixelz in game.

[lecompte]

Gaffin: Scavenger hunt would be boss. And have a different list of items for each item you have.

[Eryxian]

As someone who just started this server, events like these are very exciting.

I would love to take part in any way that I can.


As far as opinions on how it should be distributed, I think going with a little bit of everything could be fun. Like an event potpourri, some trivia, some random, some charity, some earned through some kind of contest, etc.

In any case, I'm looking forward to this. :)

[Glenzig]

Yeah this is the second one of these I've seen in the last week or so. I didn't get to make the last one, so I'm hoping I can make this one. This kind of stuff is very fun, even if you do t win anything.

Is this my chance to win a free AoN????

[Gaffin 7.0]

im having to work a double shift tonight folks and wont be on till late or possibly a.m so may have to move this to tomorrow or thursday but its still going to happen.

sorry to all planning for it tonight

[Cookiefist]

I Recently did a halfling only random for 1k plat for the 2 three halflings in misty. Level requirement was 1-10. 3 Halflings won 1k each plus the lowest roller won 1k secretly. Worked out quite well I could really tell it was helping out someone who had 10p to their name.

There was a lvl 1 naked barb in misty that tried to /random and he actually rolled highest but declined him the winnings due to not being a halfling. Man he was nasty to me in tells lol.

I'm a level 25 Iksar Warrior main, so I'd be stoked to get in on something like this. I'm not a newbie swinging a rusty longsword at Firebeetles, but I've put enough time into this character to know that I'm sticking with it and serious about it. I'm wearing Banded and have a couple 200p swords, sure, but I'd still argue that some of those items are just as beneficial to me as they are a level 4 Ranger.

Lowbies enjoy love just as much as Newbies :p

[Blade]

Also, did you hear?!

Two peanuts got into a bar fight.

One told the cops he was a salted.

EH?

[holsteinrx7]

trivia goes to the longest beard.

[MilanderTruewield]

I would love to attend an event like this. I'm also new to the server. Thankfully I ran into an old live-EQ friend I hadn't seen in a few years, (recognized his avatar's name) and he helped me a bit. Banded and some other things. Every little bit helps, ya know :)

I'll be on this evening around 8pm est (sleep during the day and kids/family int he early evening).. hoping I don't miss it :)

[Whirled]

I'm still wearing banded & Burynai armor at lv41. EQlife is rough for us lizard warriors.

[Quineloe]

Does Full crafted include the helm?

[Azure]

Gaffin a pal. Take his halp.

[Ganjar]

I have a gnome warrior that I started and I'm very serious about. he is level 30 and I have officially switched into lvl 60 or bust mode.
I would love to help him out anyway I can end this sounds awesome

[Genedil]

What did the suspenders say to the pants?

What's up my britches!




I'll be here all week.

[Supaskillz]

Best way to give away gear imo is go to areas where lvl 5-25s fight. Find someone doing this shit the hard way wearing some sweet cloth or banded and just hook them up. screw the ec freeloaders.

[Houndstooth316]

tHIS IS NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN. I LOVE GAFFIN, BUT THIS WILL NOT EVER OCCUR.

stop bother responding, gaffin will never go through with this

[Smalls]

Greed is a powerful force. I'm not surprised people are trying so hard, especially with a haste item on the table.

Oh well. At least my rusty short sword is still doing work.

[Gaffin 7.0]

BUMP. Going to do this today, only time i have off work. Sorry for the delay. I was not bluffing its going down.

If your giving stuff away to help out some newbies I could use a hand out :) returning player from 1999-2002 any spare items or plat would really help

[Fame]

Got all the gear, noobs can probably ignor this post now. Pras.

[Fame]

[Nachos]

:(

[mohler]

Hi, I just started on this server. I'm a level 17 monk and could use anything you are willing to spare.

[Gaffin 7.0]

alright, the fbss .. jade mace, hp rings and hooded black cloak has been given out and are gone

i still have a full crafted set, cobalt boots, cobalt gaunts, x2 lamentations, wurmslayer, diamondine earrings, grotesque mask, obsidian shard, runed oak bow, runed bone fork, skull shaped barbute, granite bracer, maybe some wis items off mule and about 5k plat to give away

think im going to do a lvl 1 duel or pvp event near fp, everyone roll warrior class and give packages of item to 1st 2nd and 3rd place, if items u cant use, then just sell. then im going to give the rest of 5k plat to everyone split up depending how many are there.

i cant tell who is truely a newbie in need or high lvl on a lvl 1 being greedy but please dont attend if you dont need the money or items. preferably people who have a main lvl 40 or under

[Fame]

[Glenzig]

[Gaffin 7.0]

i already gave u a damn fungi what else do u want lol

[Glenzig]

Is it ok if I level up my slash/kick as long as I don't hit lvl 2?

[Gaffin 7.0]

id rather people not, but there is no way for me to tell if u got skills upped or not. cant make a huge diff at lvl 1 though. so.

for you folks that do not like pvp ill be giving out plat, one large amount with a roll then the rest split up. only see 2 people in wfp so far.

[Nachos]

Thanks Gaffin! That was really fun. Sorry about the last part though :(
(Gnawchoze)

[radditsu]

i already gave u a damn fungi what else do u want lol

Thats right. Ill just take a cobalt bracer and blade of black dragon eye.

[Gaffin 7.0]

i still had more stuff to give out and then all the plat, but i was lagging a bit not sure if server or me, then someone trained guards and im bound a continent away so im sorry i couldnt finish it all, maybe later on if i feel like cring or tomorrow

was fun though, no one managed to kill me 1v1 but was close fights, grats to all

[pharmakos]

yo bro, hook my new blue paladin alt up with a fungi

[Gaffin 7.0]

i could give out 10 fungi's and a mil plat if gm's would be nice about a old acc :o

[pharmakos]

[Gaffin 7.0]
