Hey all,

I've decided to run a little contest to test your generosity and love for the game. We're seeing the price of FSP rise/value of gold sink (depending on your viewpoint). Since there is work to be done on the new map and interface I don't foresee HCS implementing or fixing any gold sinks any time soon, so I'm going to try and create my own.

Basically, your goal as players is to sink as much gold as possible from the game before the end of 2011 - by ANY MEANS NECESSARY :twisted:

I don't care if it's PvP, deliberately losing to a mob, spending 10 million on an AL100 potion from the AH or hell forging the most Mystic Pickaxes. All that matters is that the gold is gone.

I want to see 2,011,000,000 gold down the drain before the year ends. Think we can do it?

Here's something to whet your appetite:

Prizes:

Most Gold Sunk: 50 FSP
Most Creative Method of Sinking Gold (as judged by me): 10 FSP
Most Gold Sunk from a single PvP hit: 10 FSP
Most Gold Lost to a single PvE loss: 10 FSP
Most Expensive AH Special Potion Bought: 10 FSP
Most Gold Spent in an in-realm Shop (overall): 10 FSP


I may add other prizes if people come up with a good category to compete in.

To enter, post details of your accomplishment in this thread, with an attached screenshot demonstrating your efforts. This is a friendly contest, so I'll accept before/after shots for forging stuff up.

Please keep all your individual efforts in ONE post so I can track them - if there are too many to post shots for all then send me a link me to a directory somewhere else instead :P

Good luck, and get sinking!

Ok folks - the results are in. We did pretty well considering the hugely ambitious total, sinking a huge:

112,303,725 Gold!

I'm pretty happy with that considering the short timescale involved and obvious lack of real reason to get involved :)

On to the individual winners, and there are some real stars here (I can only apologise if I got any of this wrong). The overall winner seems to have been terminated so his rewards have been shifted to the second best entrant in the two categories he would have won:

Most Gold Sunk

Pyro: 41,865,180
2nd Place - Coldspawn: 29,800,000

Most Creative

Bleltch for his Hellfire Medal repair job :) : 5,907,000

Single PvP Hit

Maehdros: 1,481,394 (There's a surprise eh?) ;)

PvE Loss

The one and only StickIsGod: 626,946

Most Spent on a Single Potion

Pyro: 20,000,000
2nd Place - TRBLmaker: 6,750,000

Most Spent in a Shop:

None: 0 (saves me a couple of FSP)


We also had some great contributions from players investing in forging and buying folders - but I didn't have a category for them unfortunately.

The overall totals by discipline:

Potions: 48,860,000
Folders: 34,800,000
PvP: 20,808,979
Repairs: 5,907,000
Forging: 1,300,800
PvE Loss: 626,946

Thank you to everyone for participating and helping the game out in some small way - I wish you all a very happy and definitely not cataclysmic 2012!

I want to see 2,011,000,000 gold down the drain before the year ends.

If you see anyone in my pvp range holding 8,044,000,000 let me know and i'll do my best to get your goal in one shot. :D But the rest of it will be mine! MINE!!!

The richest player, subito, only has 3,005,671,991 gold.

He and the #2 and #3 richest each have enough gold to bid that much on a single AH potion. Though...that wouldn't accomplish RJEM's goal.

Most Gold Spent in an in-realm Shop: 10 FSP

Seems like this one could only go to the highest level player who decides to do it.

Not really - a low level player can buy hundreds of little bottles or something and I'll add them all up :) Edited the OP to make this clear.

Usually upload them to somewhere like imageshack and then put the forum code they offer in a post. They also do a 'thumbnail' code if you have lots and lots!

Nor I. :( Good luck.

Good start, keep it going. It might be worth keeping a running total in your post so everyone can see who's doing well for the cause!
