Altador Prizes

Fri Dec 29, 2006 1:17 pm

This morning I had the following in the Council Chamber. Since I didn't get another 5000, I am guessing that this is a repeat listing of the prizes we already received and that we won't be getting the daily free stuff anymore?

Altador beams at you as you approach. "So! We finally have a reward for your valiant efforts to restore the history of this great land. I must apologize for the delay, but it has taken us some time to regain our bearings. Suddenly remembering the entirety of one's history is quite taxing."

"Nevertheless, we do have your rewards. Our treasury is quite full, and so we have decided to award you a tidy sum of Neopoints." He waves at Gordos, the Collector, who steps over to you, carrying a bulging bag.

Gordos glares at you. "I hate parting with such a large sum of money, but what Altador wants..." he grumbles. "Here you go."

The bag contains 5,000 Neopoints!

"Next," Altador says, "we've awarded you this trophy."

Royal Astronomer

"And finally, we have a few items for you..."

Club President Super Plushie

They could have made separate ones, but this was cheaper.

The Way Windmills Work

Windmills do, in fact, work that way.

Hall of Heroes Play Set

With Limited Edition Miniature Gold-Plated Janitor!

Set of Four Commemorative Punch Club Pie Plates

Hang them on your wall... just dont talk about them.

Altador smiles. "I hope that suffices. I regret that we couldn't provide more choice, but as I said, things are still a bit chaotic around here. And after all, this wasn't on the scale of what happened to the Lost Desert, or what will soon be happening in--" He stops. "Ahem. Nevermind."

"Well!" he continues. "You will always be welcome in Altador, and we will be eternally grateful for your services to us. Farewell for now."

does this mean that the daily giveaway is gone?

I went and checked, and I just got anhother altachuck. Tried refreshing?

Sometimes the Council Chamber glitches - this glitch is affecting quite a few people today.

Don't worry, if you don't get your prize today, I am sure it will be back to normal tomorrow.

It would be nice to get the daily free stuff again, so I hope it comes back. If not, well I've had something every day so that was OK.

Thank you for the idea of refreshing, I did refresh, but I appreciated the advice.

As i remember, those were the original prizes for the first day that you collected.

Yeah...it's a repeat of the very first prizes for completing the plot. I'm not going to lie...I won't be disappointed if the daily there doesn't continue. He just gave out crap items anyhow, with the exception of a couple hundred np every once in a blue moon.

Ya... *sigh*

Some decent prizes would be really nice. A couple plushies, about 2k np, a petpet, worthless BD equipment. I believe it's quite sad.

its not that the items weren't any good, its that so many people got them voer and over again that supply exceeded demand and prices dropped... lots

I also got a repeat of the first day today. Yesterday I got an altachuck as normal.
Oh well, the prizes weren't that great, if you ask me.

It's been fixed, so that is nice.

I enjoy the free stuff. It is like getting stuff from the Advent Calendar. I don't have to do anything for it but click. I've had items that were worth a few thousand NP's from time to time, or the free NP's are also welcome.

One time I attached a petpet that I got from the Council Chamber to a lab pet. The pet was eventually changed to a nice color, so I put him up for adoption. I was appalled that the person who adopted him took his petpet and put him back into the pound.

Yes, the person made a profit- the adoption fees were less than what the person will have gotten from the sale of the petpet, but that was just mean. Luckily someone else then adopted the pet and kept him.
