Make Alpha Items Tradable

Unread post by Zammorak » Tue Jan 26, 2010 11:31 am

As the title states, the alpha goodies should be made tradable. Alpha goodies here meaning the alpha launch souvenir t-shirt and the empty alpha launch souvenir goodies bag. So you may be asking yourself, "Self, why would anyone want these items to be tradable?"

Here is what I have thought up:
- They are part of an outfit that is now unobtainable by the general public, making collectors everywhere drool on the showcases of the land. If the amount of drool being produced increases at the rate it currently is, Florida will be completely flooded by the year 2032.
- The t-shirt gives turns at intermission, which everyone wants. If you didn't get turns at intermission, why would you even log in?
- The goodies back is the best farming off-hand currently in the game, and therefore another item that increases the amount of collector-drool in the land of Paradox.

If you have any more ideas as to why they should be made tradable, just post.

Souvenirs aren't meant to be given away by the receiver.

Agreeing with Gobb... "Shiver".

Souvenir in fact ARE meant to be tradeable...didn't you ever see those swap meets with little old ladies trading cat cozies and silver spoons with a Georgia peach stamped on them?
