Good idea? Or Bad Idea?

Hrm, I wonder how much you paid in postage to send 3 2-cent stamps.

Great question.

On July 1, 1898, postage for a letter was two cents.

Sorry Fading.

All you wanted was another paid Lootbox a paid Advent Calendar & I have derailed your suggestion with Licorice and fake Licorice.

My apologies.

It was fun and with tweaking Fading's idea is a very good one. BTW, The Matrix is offering me red or black licorice. Which do I take?

Man I really like Red Licorice, but Black is my favourite, thankfully no robots have a probe in my body sucking out electricty so I can pick either knowing I wont have to immediately run screaming & naked while dodging bullets to the nearest Phone-booth.

I do not like RL events to happen inside the game as that has already destroyed immersion and the Norrathian lore, beside other factors. It might be something for the EQ website and the forums. Or for the Sunrise Hills, which is already a mad dollhouse area.

It still is. The universal postal treaty of the Universal Postal Union (UPU) is still valid. Worldwide. Also interesting: Many stamps do not have a currency symbol printed onto them anymore, which does make them worthless. It is a scam. Only stamps with a currency printed onto them are security papers.

I think that a good idea.
They might also try a real advent calendar in there swag store too btw.

First of all, I never mind a good thread derail!

Unless it's about licorice (Blech!)

Also, I forgot about the usual marketplace daily freebies that usually take place around the holidays. That's kinda the same thing I guess.

Also, *if* an idea like this were to happen, the reward would still be issued (and given into the claim/reward list) without you needing to log on. I agree having to log on or otherwise missing one would be a bad implementation.

The reason this came to mind was that I was at a store and saw a Lego advent calendar....and like everything in Real Life I constantly think "How could that happen in EQ?"

It's a weird sickness I know! And no, I didn't buy the Lego Advent calendar.

Well, to take out the loot box fear, have it set up so that everyone gets the same prize for the same day, and announce it beforehand. Something like what they do with the Extra Life donations, you know what you are getting for each tier that you donate. If you do set it up to be on sale in the DB store, don't make it stupidly expensive. However, I feel that they should just award a prize a day in your /claims window for free and so you don't miss it.

Seems like you are one of those guys that is shouting around at stations and ports: "Train incoming !", "BOAT !".

How about a derail regarding tamales? Tis the season, after all. I already got one deer (free handout from the annual cull at the King Ranch) and I'm hoping to harvest a couple more. The meat from one would go to my cousin to make tamales.

Oh my well now you woke me up. Not so much the Tamale thing but deer hunting. Season is right around the corner here in the midwest and I got a new AR in .350 legend to try out. Went with the Sig Saur, Romeo and Juliet optics.

I built mine during the global sickness event, in 300BLK. Went with a PA meme lower, and an Aero upper with a Roscoe barrel. I've heard nothing but good things about 350Legend. Looking at getting a lever gun for elk, moose, or nilgai next year. I'll be in Maine for moose season next year, and hopefully I get a tag in the lottery.

But back on licorice. I've likely never had REAL licorice, just something artificially flavored, which is why I probably never liked it. Willing to try it, if I can find some.

I remember in 1999 eating black licorice and my lips going numb. So at least up until 1999 authentic ingredients were being use and not Anise oil. Anise oil is also used in making absinthe nowadays too. A lot of root beers are not made with sassafras anymore either. Root of all Evil is not just an item drop in EQ.
