And thank you for them! They are a great out-of-the-game aspect that I thoroughly enjoy.Originally Posted by Sapience
The lottery system isn't a thank you tool per se, it's a kind of game outside the game. It's used for a lot of things, most of them intended to be fun diversions while your'e at work or otherwise unable to log into the game.
I think the Carrot Cake and Hope lottery as well as the Potato and Coal lotteries made that pretty clear.
Results 26 to 49 of 49

Re: So who won the symbol from the lotto?
Sapience can we please have the lottery for "5 Scrolls of Empowerment" again? Pretty please with sugar on top? Last time it was up it was deleted from my list of available lotteries before the lotto expired and I couldn't reenter. :'( I wish it would be a weekly!

*sigh* @ 5 per world. You need to run these like you did for the Festival lottos, like every 3 hours with 20 per world until I get one.

No it would NOT be too generous considering probably only 1 out of 50 of the items created by the symbols would be usable let alone desirable. You seem to forget that simply having a symbol does not guarantee a good item it just gives you another shot at the LI lotto.

Are you meaning to say that the Potato and Coal Lotteries were for fun and not a reward? Originally Posted by Sapience

Man, all of my characters have been holding on to the Potatoes they won thinking they were going to be useful for something...like at a Barterer or maybe they would insta-slay some foe. Now I'm going to have to go through and Vendor Trash all those Potatoes!
And to think, I thought I got something special.

Re: So who won the symbol from the lotto?
I won one of the Landroval lotteries. Of course, I had 6 characters to enter.
Made the best champion weapon of all time with it. Which is great, since I have previously made the 3 worst champion weapons of all time...

Would appear so, at least for me. Hope I don't have to get 52 more symbols to get all the equipment I need across all characters, though. Originally Posted by Sapience

I do enjoy the lottos
Is it wrong that our city was flooded and in between packing and checking on loved ones I was trying to figure out how to keep entering the lottos until they bring internet back?

Re: So who won the symbol from the lotto?
No, that's epic. I bought a $100 3g thumb drive and prepay Virgin Mobile service (at about $60) so that I could play lotro on my laptop while taking a train ride from Los Angeles to Fort Worth and play, as much as possible, LotRO right before Mirkwood released (and then after release on the followup train ride from FW to Oklahoma City, after I ran to Barnes & Noble and downloaded the entirety of the update patch during my brief layover in downtown Fort Worth.)

However, in between the time I posted and then got around to reading your response I vendored those Potatoes I had been holding on to. Now I'll have to wait until next April to try to create [Tom Bombadil's Fantastical Pie].~NOST CORUFAER~

Re: So who won the symbol from the lotto?
I was lucky enough to win a symbol - and it made a beautiful crossbow.
Thanks for the Lotteries - I love checking them out in my lunchbreak!
