I've returned from an absence and found a few problems with most of my things. I am removing them from play temporarily. I will modify some of them, and put them back into play. Unfortunately, if you possess/own any of my items, they will/have dissappeared. Will you get it back? I'm sorry to say, no. Is this unfair? Somewhat, yes. However, I am not one for doing unfair things to players. It is for the betterment of all that I remove them temporarily and then rehide them in the environment. Do you have a chance of recovering them? Yes. But you'll have to explore and look hard. I won't announce when they'll be put back into play, but it will be soon. So. Am I doing this to spite/injure just you or any one person? No. If you want to talk to me about it, please do, I'm a wiz, I'm here for you, not the other way around. What happened ICly if you had some of my stuff? You were robbed. Everyone gets robbed now and then in real life, thus, you can finally say someone figured out how to break open that sealed container and got some of your goodies.
