an auction

Written by: Sarapis, the Logos

Addressed to: Everyone


Due to popular demand, we will be having another auction, using credits.
This will be useful to us because a) we lost a lot of money during the
time we couldn't take credit cards and b) we want to upgrade to a new, fast-as-heck server (perhaps a dual PIII 733 mhz system).

Now, many of you probably remember some of the items auction off before.
They have included things like vorpal swords (swords better than the
longswords you can forge), eagle's wings (allowing you to fly to a portals-like location high in the clouds), boomerangs (allow you to "yank" someone from up to 10 locations away, if it's line-of-sight), pets, housing (like Nitre's tower in the desert), gems of cloaking, helms of telepathy, etc etc.

We will probably auction off some of the same things, but I'd like to get some suggestions from you guys for things that you would like to see auctioned off. Don't suggest specific pets, because if you win a pet in an auction, you can decide how you want it to work and what you want it to be, but be specific about other suggestions. I won't sell anything that will give an OVERWHELMING advantage in combat except for a price higher than anyone sane would be willing to pay (it's not worth cheapening the fighting mechanics by doing that), so be reasonable in any combat-related suggestions please. E-mail t hem to sarapis@achaea.com, and be sure to include your character's name.

Penned by my hand on the 11th of Valnuary, in the year 232 AF.
