What did you get in your globes?

Rom

Opened 2 globes - got a trait reset, a Mayan crown, and together about 5000 gold.

I beat the system.

Kyrra

About 240 bound credits, 3 mayan crowns, a diamond artefact vial, roughly 200K~ gold, a kaleidoscope, jar, hourglass, spiritboard and box.

I traded in the vial for 26 credits, because it messes with my vial list and my OCD won't abide it.

Bought a few extra crowns, more obfuscated vials and the bound credits are paying for the customisation of the obfuscated vials because they no longer match my other obfuscated vials.

Silas

I wish the standard pets were available reliably again. I want a dog for Silas, but I don't really care about it being unique, which should be the selling point of pets.

Even if they cost a moderate amount of credits, and you had to pay for the description changes yourself to make them grow up, that's preferable to the current situation.

ETA: lol'd heartily at Sylvance's above little ragefest, tho.

Idelisa

Ugh, ugh, ugh.  All I wanted was a crate.

5-8 credits each and a free reincarnation (not needed!)  :P

The funny thing is, globes are so fun that if they put good items in all of them I think people would spend so much money on them.  Things you can't trade if you don't need it sucks.  

I want the fox.

Not sure why you're ranting, if you add up the value of the things you can tradein/sell it comes out to more than you'd get spending $50 bucks directly on credits.

Aktillum

The two halves of the globe split open to reveal a bazooka joe!

Xith

So who thinks the globes should maybe include some room credits or halfrooms?

Katia

they give bound credits too... bound... ffs

Tecton

Ergh, just checked this, there was some changes in the IRE-wide credit system which was making these go through as bound. They will not any longer.

Some feedback for Tecton/Sarapis.

Giving out these novelty items in globes is fine, but having them decay is not fine.  5 bucks for something that disappears in 25 days is not cool.

These prizes have been tweaked as well!

Sylvance

@Tecton - Can these changes please be made retroactive? Guessing that would have to be done through the Issue system (esp with item numbers etc), but it really would be well received.

ETA: unWTFing my grammar

Tecton

The decaying items have already been done.

Katia

Goddamned Tecton, taking away all my grump... though.. I still think the novelty things would be better in a travelling bazaar rather than as something you use real cash for

Melodie

@Katia, stop being such a grumpy Scrooge.

@Sohl Yes, but you're missing the point. I didn't want three vials and a Crown, I wanted two pipes and the change in UNBOUND credits, or maybe a tuning fork. What part of that can't you comprehend?

Rinzai

^---a crown and three vials is easily 2 pipes...

Thing is the Globes are a gamble, sure you might get really lucky and get some major artefact you can trade in for something you really really want, but the odds of that are slim.

I just like them because they are random and fun, and that enough is away for me to throw some cash at IRE.  That and now I am running around predicting peoples future with a spirit board.

Sohl

I was playing slots once and all I wanted was some cherries but I kept getting stars even though its not what I wanted and the stars kept showing up instead no matter how many times I pulled the lever and the machine was shooting quarters at me it was call of duty and I was an airport full of civilians and the cherries kept coming up as it slowed down but then settling on stars and lights were lighting up and bells kept ringing and people gathered around to watch and probably steal my cherries but they never came up anyways and the machine ran out of quarters so I said screw this I'm gonna go play craps.

Zeon

Gambler after my own heart.

Garao

I WANT THE WORLD, I WANT THE WHOLE WORLD, GIVE IT TO ME NOOOOWWWWW. 

You enter into a gamble when you buy the globes. I don't understand why you rant about globes themselves being awful or whatever when you full well knew that when buying them? If you wanted specific things, buy specific things!

If they included these, I would buy like 20 of them.

The amount of self-entitlement in this post is staggering. You're like one of those guys at the craps table who lets it all ride and then demands a do-over on snake eyes.

(The house limit is -three- do-overs, sir.)

You don't know me, @Trey. You have no clue what I've been through or what I had to do to get those orbs.

Sohl

I think we done been trolled.

Well played, sir.

Initially 30. I bought 5 more after. I was tempted to buy more but uh.. I'm supposed to be saving right now >_>

Thanks, buddy

Sylvance

Ya know, now I think about it, folks, the clue to how these globes would turn out was given to us when Hermes got et.  Well played, @Admins, well played.
