So when the new big update happened I logged on to rush around and see the new lairs and what people were bidding for them. I got tired of seeing prices that I could never achive being a hatchling. So I went to my guild's city of Tavu. I knew it had three lairs and maybe I could get one there.
Well I found the one I thought was in the best location and pulled up it's info. I was rather shocked to see that instead of "Bid" it said "Buy". For 1s I couldn't pass that up. So I bought the plot and was very happy. I told my whole guild about how I got the first lair in Tavu and several of them came by to see it.
Then tragity struck. A WM (world master) showed up and said I couldn't have the lair yet. Now I have never met a WM or a Dev before so I thought it was some dude messing with me and I told him in so many words to piss off. Well one of the ancients in the guild came by and saw the gold name above the character and told me that was a WM. So I whined about it for a while. And he tried to explain that nobody was supposed to have a lair untill all the biddings were done. Then I whined some more. But he assured me that I could re-buy the lair after the auctions were over.
I eventully agreed to hand over the lair and sell it back to the community. Of course there's really nothing I could have done anyway. I mean the guy was nice enough to show up and explain the situation to me. He could have just pulled my code and altered it lol. But anyway as I said. Fair is fair and me having a lair before anyone else would kinda lessen the experiance of having one anyway.......I lost 50c though -.-
