Rare and Unique Items

[Fogel]

From this point forward, any item classified as rare or unique that is on an inactive character will be removed from the game and placed back into circulation. An "inactive" character is, for the purposes of this check, defined as someone who has not logged in or played for a notable amount of time over a three week period. Meaning that you cannot get around this by logging in your storage for five minutes every few weeks. The following items will be checked:

Unique:

a heron-marked longsword
Cal'bekkar, the stained battle-maul of legends past
Rhilor, the tainted chain
a heron-marked blade from the Age of Legends
a jade-embedded cinquedia paired with a sturdy wooden sheath
a reflective onyx shield
an ornate Two Rivers longbow
the tainted blade of Shadar Logoth
Mah'alleinir, the wolf emblazoned war hammer
an ancient shocklance
a tainted black sword

Rare:

a long bladed hunting knife
a perfectly clear glass dagger
an intricately carved longsword
a sharp dagger of obsidian
a set of Sharan-marked boots
a pair of Sharan-marked vambraces
a plumed ebony burgonet with Sharan markings
a pair of Sharan-marked steel-reinforced ebony gauntlets
a pair of Sharan-marked ebony greaves
a Sharan-marked, steel-reinforced ebony leather belt
Sharan-marked, ebony pauldrons
a Sharan-emblazoned cuirass
a golden heron marked belt
a yew spear with a fire blackened tip
a thin strip of embroidered cloth
a figure of an armored soldier raising his sword to the heavens
a bear statuette
a berserker's pendant
a platinum mace with steel spikes
a golden etched obsidian morning star
a giant obsidian-studded bastard sword
a platinum handled serrated long blade
a gold headed double-bladed battle axe
a two-fisted pike with a bronzed steel shaft
a hero's talisman from the Age of Legends
a strange black helm with a double horn crest
a bright green orb

The above lists will be kept updated, so check back if you are ever unsure of an item's status. From the time of this post, there will be a one week grace period for people to get these items back into circulation. After that, we will begin pulling them. You have been warned.

The first of these purges has been performed. If you think you may have lost equipment unfairly, send an appeal to me. Just don't expect to get it back unless you have a very good reason.

Another purge has been performed. Once again, if you think you lost equipment unfairly send me an appeal.
