There was only like 2-3 on each server it was so rare. I sold it for $400 cash to a guild-mate instantly pretty much. I probably could have gotten more by putting it up on eBay. In the article the guy says it was the "rarest item in the game." Most people never even saw one on a character, since there were only a couple on the server and the chances are that person isn't playing, haha.

I meant to respond to your comment about real money, that's no joke. Spectre robes alone fetched $300. What idiots! Did they really think it would last that long? They weren't even good stats.
I'm fairly certain at least five SM dropped on CLW as it was the highest population server for some years, though I cannot remember where I was when it happened. Wasn't that robe from Tomb of Kings?
I wasn't a big fun of the faster paced game play at first, but at the same time it was refreshing and the gamepad controls were done very well. It wasn't as in-depth as FFXI but never the less it worked. And the pace did work well with the mechanics as spoke about earlier, casting while moving, plate wearing battle clerics, fast respawning mobs and such good xp camps in the most obscure out of the way places. People would travel to all kinds of nooks and crannies and setup shop for hours of near constant slam action - mobs that died in twenty seconds and respawned in forty - there was no time to sleep!
It was the first game with a seameless world and speaking of nooks and crannies, the amount of underwater stuff was great too. Adventure and exploration was not just a tagline.
The game could only have been better if they'd had some type of voice communications. When we were able to finally emulate it, it was super fun to play with others and have voice chat. So if this EMU actually works, I am definitely playing it on the PC again!
