Lost a rare - account

By a one day blunder missed that my CC wasn't updated. Oddly too that they had been billing for several months but then just stopped.

So I log in and my single account with a Large Tower, L-shape 2 story and two small houses all within one screen of each other are all "condemned"

Page GM and he tells me the time expired yesterday!

That was even worse than losing a one shot kill heavy xbow. back in (99?)

Had dropped it in a chest at the guild tower to swapped to another char and low and behold the server warped overnight to exactly inbetween the trade.

An unscrupulous guildie and a friend just happen to get there before I did and ripped it off.

Bleh one thing I've learned in 9 years. You're going to lose and gain things over time. Just try not to sweat the losses too much.:shocked:

I runed in to Cove bank loaded down with top end rares to restock my Luna vendor on the first day of the orc invasion and died before I finished recalling in. No way to get my body back. Probably lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 70 mil worth of stuff. Still can't think about it without getting cranky.

Well I got you all beat on the rare though it was the right thing to do. I had a friend that bought a castle off ebay. He was cleaning stuff out at a guild meeting one night. I returned 2 days later to find a "pewter bowl" still sitting in middle of the room {it did not decay or disappear at server start.} So, i picked it up and held onto it til I saw him and told him to keep it, because I looked it up on Markee Dragon and it was a server startup rare, i set it in my locked house for 2 days to verify. Only one per shard it was part of the decorations at startup that acciedentaly wasnt locked down. So, it was probably the rarest thing in the game. UGGGGGhhhh.. He's no longer in the game so no telling what happened to it. Doing the right thing is painful.

And one other. I had an Armor of Fortune. And quit the game 2 yrs ago and gave it to a guy at bank. He was nice enough to try and give it back he said man your gonna come back everyone does. Well he was tight and I was worng and oooohh I mis that AoF and the suit I made to go with it.

Welcome to UO Forums and back to UO whitesnake

Enjoyed reading a little of your history in UO. Hope you enjoy your stay.

Vepl

Going back to the thread title of "worst lost of a rare ever"... I'm not sure if they would be considered rares, however, back when I was in Pacific, just after Samuari Empire came out, Kellen and I were collecting the Tokuno Dyes.... I had a container in my house that had 2 of every one of those dyes in it...... After redesigning my house and moving things where I could see them, I must have forgotten to lock that one chest down cause when I logged back in after a couple of hours, *poof* all my dyes had decayed!!!

I have never fully recovered from that goof

i lost a blue tent deed, set it down to lock it down and it instantly vanished...yes my house is private, and nobody is friended, just went poof, watched a 60k diamond wedding band do the same thing when it was being locked down, alot of the older items seem to have a 0 second policy if you want to lock it down...be careful

omg Rascal, that sucks!

The worst thing for me was "an open book" and various other minor rares. My account hacked and password changed, while I was on it. Friends list on the house wiped. Guildmates trying to kill my primary. Me screaming at EA reps on the phone. They threw my primary in jail (at my insistance)with a 72 hour lock on the acct. Worse than all that was watching my stuff E-bay, knowing it was mine and not being able to do a dang thing about it. I still want to shoot the guy who did it when I think about it.

Well one of my first times checking out fel i created a guinny pig character to run around fel and check it out as i was running aronndi was checking out champ spawn in dungeon when i came across a corpse i clicked corpse and found 2 120 powerscrolls i was like pay dirt i didnt even turn around and the next thing i knew i was 00o0oo0o0 no more scrolls.

Hehe, I lost a 200mil suit almost a month ago now? Was in fel on a new character, didn't have auto renew on, and boom. Lost an orny, armor of fortune, a nice 3/1 ring with 14 hci, two nice SC shields, 2 nice SC warforks, insane barbed armor leggings, , sleeves, gloves, etc. Some guy from VIP ended up looting it, and of course paraded around talking about how great he was, bla bla bla.

His buddy gave me the pendant back, but everything else was lost. Offered to buy it back, but the jackass refused saying he didn't need the gold. Guy just kept parading around yew gate talking smack etc. The guy is easily one of the most hated people on atlantic. Made a new suit in about a week, and turned the guy from ninja fencer mage, to ninja wrestle mage, hence the ninja punch, being my new thing lol.


Funny thing is... about a week or so later, the guy ends up getting his account perma banned for unattended macroing. Karma is a !!!!!, ain't it?
