Find Gromwell

[Roonskee]

50,000 platinum pieces to the first person to find and Hail Gromwell.

I walked with 50k plat on me departing EC taking about 25 minutes to reach my resting spot. Any character can make it to this zone. Sorry bards, rangers and druids you are automatically disqualified. I have a helper spotting for tracker assistants near my hiding place. First hail will be handed 50,000 platinum pieces.

Camping at 2:25pm CST, Good Luck!

[Roonskee]

Camping in 5, a handful of people walked by but nobody stopped to say Hello! We'll continue tomorrow evening in a new location and maybe a larger reward?

[Evia]

Where in Norrath is Gromwell Sandiego?

[DMN]

What's up with everyone giving away 50k suddenly?

[I Felt Nostalgic]

Nice!

[Fifield]

So did anyone find you?

Gimme all that pp for free

You finally realize that the favor was not a favor but rather a trap. It’s a form of control and manipulation, a mechanism they’ll activate when it suits them.

Another increasingly common way of laundering money is to use online gaming. In a growing number of online games, such as Second Life and World of Warcraft, it is possible to convert money into virtual goods, services, or virtual cash that can later be converted back into money.

[DMN]

Interesting, but no conversion appears to be occurring here. Unless this is an elaborate setup for the pre-ordained "winner" to arrive.

[Hrothgar]

I think I ran into this guy just a few mins ago at Sol A bar. No 50k tho?

[Morphyus]

Nice event!

Reminds me of when I quit Live about 5 years ago giving away a Ton Po’s Bo Stick, 2x SoD and a 1 mio pp to the first 10 who found me and hailed me. Have been thinking on if I wanted to do something similiar here on p99 and how to go about it with no global chat to give hints along the way and the relative small world compared to Live with it’s 20+ expansions. This could be the way, thanks for inspiration :-)

Good luck to all going on this hunt!

Can't be accused of RMT if the person you give your plat to won it in a "contest".

[Primordial Ooze]

I think I ran into this guy just a few mins ago at Sol A bar. No 50k tho?

He wouldn't have been there for the event itself; he said it was a zone anyone could get to. Low levels would have a hard time in SolA.

I was thinking lavastorm, but that'd be pretty hard for a low level too. Lots of hiding places tho.

This is such a cool idea, I hope I'm online for the next one! I had fun trying to think of the possibilities. Thanks for the game man!

Nope rmt is for shit heads. Sorry everyone, had to take a few days off but I'm still here and will find a new hiding place. Accessible by every level, class, race and diety. Tonight i'll be online from 6-7pm CST with a 25k increase in platinum! Good luck. Plat is on Gromwell and I tried to find somewhere far from any accessible bank to spice it up a little :cool:

[Roonskee]

What's up with everyone giving away 50k suddenly?

I don't play much and I have a ton of plat that I don't need, why not bring a little excitement to Norrath

[Roonskee]

So did anyone find you?

No, nobody found me. If nobody finds me tonight the search will continue again with another plat increase. Last time around a few people ran into me some even stopped to chat but there was no Hail Gromwell so they probably didn't know what I was doing there womp womp

[Crede]

Gromwell can you indicate if you’ll be running away with bard speed, sow, jboots?

[Roonskee]

Gromwell can you indicate if you’ll be running away with bard speed, sow, jboots?

Walked very slowly until sow ran out, then Jbooted for a few more minutes. Once I get to my destination I will stay there for one hour or until I am found and the winner will walk away with with the his riches.

[Iksar_with_a_plan]

Without giving away too much of your position you should leave everyone with an appropriate riddle as to your where-abouts.

[aaezil]

clever way to cover up your RMT

too much work

Cool! Will you be starting from the same place as well? Or from a new secret location? :)

[Gohie]

Its Tax time. He needs a tax write-off? :D

or just wants to have fun

[I Felt Nostalgic]

Leave Brad alone!

[Roonskee]

Started from the first location, am currently at the new one, Good Luck.

I've been found relaxing in the Oasis of Marr inn. Congrats Getfluxed young gnome wizard on your winnings! More to come, thanks for participating everyone!

[Primordial Ooze]

Congrats dude! I think I made it to Oasis just after you left, but I wouldn't have had time to check the inns. :)

Did he know who you were or was he just being friendly and hailing you, and getting an unexpected 75k gift?

[ZiggyTheMuss]

I really hope it was a random hailing by a noob!

How the fuck did it take you 25 minutes to get from EC to Oasis.

He was max encumbered. No need to be rude.

Guessing you've never had 75k?

You rock!

Thanks for doing this: even if people never get to participate in events like this, just having them out there makes the server a more fun place for everyone (IMHO).
