Come on Turbine! the Symbol Lottory just ended and you are doing maintenance??

[Indy-in-IN]

How can I see my wonderful winnings if you're locking me out??

[gildhur]

Actually, if it ended during the maintenance, the winners probably won't get anything anyway.

[Jilla]

I think he means the MyLOTRO maintenance. That's been going on for a while.

At least, I hope that's it

Ugh. I hope not.

[Sapience]

No worries. It will not affect the lottery. I've already confirmed that the lottery ended correctly and all prizes were awarded.

Oh, except I didn't win. So clearly something went awry.

[Ayrolen]

The maintenance isn't going to affect the Symbol lotto. Sapience just confirmed that in another thread. *whew*

ETA: Damnit, Sapience! /shakesfist

Sapience, are you hopped up on caffeine today? You're Super Speedy McPosterson this afternoon.

Why would you want to listen to anything other than your icy-cold Waden heart anyway?

Clover made an amazing Chocolate cake. I think I'm all hopped up on chocolate and sugar.

I've been thinking about that dirt pudding (cake) since you posted a picture of it. /sigh

I think I need that recipe. If I get any more sleepy today I am going to have the imprint of my keyboard on my forehead.

So...how many symbols are awarded? Is it per server, or one big pool for all the entries? Just curious really, totally not asking because one of my Creeps appears to have won a Gift of Celebrimbor...

I'm going to go put on my kevlar now. Thank you in advance for any response should I not survive the night.

As with all lotteries the winners pool is per server. All lotteries vary, the more rare the item, the fewer winners per server. This lottery was for 10 Symbols per server.

[robnkarla]

Hmmmm, why don't they just set up the Symbol Lottos so that there is one for each class? Give out 1-2 Symbols per server per class so Creeps cannot enter?

Too bad the lottos cannot be set up with a requirement of Class in [Guard, Champion, Minstrel....] to bypass it as well....ah well.

[Elfheart]

Might as well be 50 winners per server as it will still only net about 1-3 usable LIs with the rest being relic fodder.

WTB Lotto that guarantees a good/usable legendary item.

Actually we can, it would be 9 individual lotteries; one for each class with the winners pool being limited to that class on that server. So we can, in fact, have a lottery that award X Symbols per class per server.

It's a really great idea. You don't mind if I steal it, do you?

Not at all

Anything that can keep the creeps from sabotaging the symbol lottos

Edit: the 2nd thought was whether you could set up a single lotto with a multiple class criteria with an or/in as a work-around for all lottos.

You didn't ask if you could steal my Barrow-Bree and wine idea! I think all of my characters should automatically win.

[IGolbezI]

lol @ the creep winning it.

We can do that as well. I just liked the idea of multiple winners per class.
We can also omit them simply by requiring all entries to be from one of the 4 Free Peoples races.

We don't use these settings often, so it never really occurred to me to use them to filter out creeps before. So thanks again for jogging the old brain!

So there's going to be 10X the number of winners for Hunters than any other class, right?
