Dateline 8/29/2015: LOST AND FOUND - RECOVER YOUR ITEMS!

Greetings, Adventurers!

That peksy janitor can really be a jerk sometimes, what with all his sweeping and legions of Gnomes and others picking up "junk". Sometimes he gets lucky and finds a nice weapon that some poor adventurer dropped when dying. Believe it or not, he may not be a total bad guy all the time!

For the past several months, the janitor has been working with the local registrar's office as well as the Estate Holder Council, who primarily oversees the creation of special bonded items. When he's found an item with notations of bonding or registration, he's been trying his best to save them. Now, however, he has more than he can hang on to and is ready to return what he recovered to their rightful owners!

If you have picked up your dead friend's weapon or have any graverobbed items on your person when you log out, they should now be moved into the Lost and Found bin. If you were given consent from the original party, the items will stay on your person still.

To check to see if you have any recovered items, please visit the Crossing Carousel (vaults) and check the Lost & Found bin at the desk where you pay your rental fees. Simply OPEN it, and if the janitor had anything in his possession, it will be handed over to you. No fee! No questions! No fuss!

PLEASE NOTE: As has been said all along, having an item registered or bonded increases the chance that it could be restored in certain cases of loss, but it has NEVER been guaranteed. This system will NOT save every bonded and registered item, as there are many forms of the janitor and not all are within our power to manage. However, where we can, the janitor has been updated to save items that are bonded or registered.

Also be aware that this system isn't psychic. It reads who the item is currently bonded or registered to -- if you bought an item registered to someone else, we cannot help you if it returns to the indicated owner. Remember to use REGISTER CHECK to make sure items are properly registered to you!
