30% Sale and Festive Stockings!

Written by: Jeremy

Addressed to: Everyone


First, we are running a 30% sale for the month.

Secondly, we now have Ironbeard (and Silverbeard) stockings! These are new items you can purchase from the website and HANG for you or your friends. Once you've purchased them, you can HANG STOCKING FOR ME or HANG STOCKING FOR <player> and it will be placed in the room. You can additionally add ANONYMOUS to the end to give someone an anonymous gift.

Once hung, our dueling gift givers will drift through the realms and fill them with gifts! Stockings come in 4 varieties: Festive, Fancy, Grand, and Extravagant, with each tier containing higher and higher values of gifts inside! That's not to say that you'll luck out if you stick with the Festive stockings, as they have a chance to contain the higher tiered gifts.

You will be able to see the status of all of their hung stockings with the STOCKINGS command, and is has been filled, simply go to the room and OPEN STOCKING (or <STOCKING#> if there are many in the room). Only you can open your stockings, so no need to worry about someone else coming to steal your gifts!

For every 5 stockings of each type you purchase, you'll receive either a gold or platinum stocking of that tier! So if you purchase 5 fancy stockings, you'll get a gold (or platinum) fancy stocking. These special versions contain double the reward value as the regular versions! The bearded ones only have so much room in their sacks, so these stockings will only be filled on December 25th (gold) and January 1st, 2016 (platinum). All unhung gold stockings will be converted to platinum versions after December 25. These tallies count over multiple purchases, so if you purchase 5 single stockings over the month, you'll get a special version with your 5th purchase.

Finally every hundred or so stocking that are opened, one lucky player will get a stocking loaded with a TON of extra goodies.
