| Some important info RE: Bone collector. | |
| Posted by PhantomFire on Jun 01, 2011 11:58 pm | |
| Q. Does the bone collector ask for TE items, retired or rare items? A. If the item does NOT currently restock in a site operated shop, Bone collector will not ask for it. NO TE or Retired items will be asked for. you might be asked for a rare item, you can decline the task and return in an hour to try again. Q. I have 500 shards, I only see a few things! Where are the others? A. Bone collector is not only a questing game, it is also a game of chance. You must decide if you will accept what he has to offer, or collect more and return later. Q. Is there a list so I can see all the items? A. No .. this game is new. We would prefer you try to discover things as you are able to collect more shards. It's supposed to be a gamble, and a surprise. Q. If i decide not to quest, do I lose my shards? A. Nope they will be left alone. You can return in an hour and try again. Q. How often can I go to the bone collector and buy something? A. Once a day for regular accounts, once every 12 hours for premium. Q. I can see a lot of the items / a few of the items. Can i post them so everyone can see them and add to them in the forums? A. Please don't. Bone collector is a game of chance as well as a questing game. We prefer people find out what is there on their own as they decide to buy OR save for more. It's ok to make a decision to wait, since those items will be staying. Or perhaps there is something you want immediately? that's fine too. But, please don't spoil the surprise for others :) EDIT: adding a Q Edited: 06-02-2011 04:27 am |

I wanted to give you all a little bit more time since we spread out the item release over all of May. We hope you enjoyed all the geeky items! And don't forget, two geeky contests are ending today: Vogon Poetry Contest (gross) and Quad's P3 Comic Contest! |
