I have one locked down on the steps of my mall in Luna [Pac], if anyone would care to see it's the first house that's east of the bank [vendors dressed in shrouds]. And yes, it speaks

As far as I know. The one d-d-dat says "B-b-b-Bucky come home" is duped I know for sure, though.

To clear up some confusion about the talking not talking thing.

The only original talking statues did come from lake superior. 2 were spawned once on that shard at server birth that talked and they were duped this is where we get more than 2 talking statues from.

The other statues that do not talk came from moonglow. If you go to moonglow tram or fel on lake superior and possibly other shards right in front of the bank there are 2 story statues. At one time there was a way to take these once per day but as you can see now the area has a fence around it and is all blocked up with flowers and junk. This was done to stop people from taking them early on during the bug. These statues have also been duped. The fact they were far more common is why you see more around than talking ones.

Anyhow that is what I know from the many years I have been around. I have been playing lake superior for 9 years now and can still remember when moonglow did not have all the flowers in front of the bank lol.

Hmm.. Im pretty sure EU got 2 server birth statues as well... Since I know for sure that ive visited a friends house before transfers that had 1 of these.. and she wanted to buy a second back then (she knew who had the second)

Every shard had two story statues that could be taken. You could get them in Wind with an exploit involving a chest for a good while, then they fixed it. Don't ask me how it was done, I don't know. I just know that it was done. And no, the statues didn't respawn, hence the whole server birth thing.
