This has got my blood boiling. Get frozen/punted right before a major raffle (dahcres) and can't get into the game for almost 30 minutes. Missing major raffles for a paid event is the exact opposite of the bees knees. This has my frowny face stamp times 10 all over it.

Hey guys,

We could not foresee the game going down and being inaccessible by some people at such an inopportune time. We are going to offer a repeat of the same raffle to make up for the issues.

Right now, details are still being worked out about when the raffle will happen. We will try to give you guys plenty of time in advance so you're all able to enter, and the ticket price will be kept low. It will be posted here on the forums when we have it all sorted out. This is the best way to handle the situation under the circumstances.

Apologies for the trouble and upset that it caused!

Thanks for your consideration. I appreciate it. I had a moment of spaz when I saw a small portion of people were locked, out including myself. I only half-flipped a desk though.

Okay, a redo of the dahcre raffle has been set up in the Lattice Archway. Tickets are 1,000 silvers.

3 winners will be drawn tomorrow night right around 6:45 pm EST.

I assume the winners from the previous raffle will still be honored?

Yes, they will! Binklar will be in touch with you to redeem the services.

I wish to thank one and all for your patience and apologize for the difficulty on the first draw for the enhancive dachres. Many thanks to Galene and Retser for helping out with this. We had what looks like a double whammy last night. My own internet connection went down an hour before the draw, and then the game got funky just prior to the draw.

Poor little Binklar, being such a short fella he should know better than to wander the wilds around Pinefar. He got stuck in a snowdrift so deep, it took him hours to dig himself out. Sadly, he missed his own raffle! Fortunately the chronomages and other merchants have devised a resolution to this dilemma. An EXTRA raffle for 3 dachres has been set up in the room with the Lattice Archway. This is a bonus raffle to draw at 6:45 pm EST to make up for any difficulty some may have had last night. The 3 winners from last night will still be honored, AND the regularly scheduled raffle for tonight at 7 pm EST will be put out in the same room IMMEDIATELY after the 6:45 one draws.

So, if you wish to enter the first draw for tonight, buy your tickets as usual and then stick around after the draw and enter the second when I put it out. Don't be sleeping or you may miss it!!

Have the items you wish enhanced on your person somewhere... No swapping, no passing... Cost for the service is 500K and we'll be doing 6 tonight and the last 4 tomorrow at noon. I will be looking today for the 3 winners from last night.
