GEM

-=*:    REAL GEMS    :*=-

Hidden in the lands in and around all of the cities are items which you can find and turn in for "REAL" items with the same name.  Participation is easy.  All you have to do is keep a sharp eye out searching everywhere you can.  Real items *will* be found.  Maybe the next one by you.

LOOK ON, UNDER AND BEHIND EVERYTHING.  There are great hiding spots everywhere!

We have also hidden some other REAL items within the game.  One such example would be special mugs that will earn you a REAL DragonRealms/GemStone mug.

You may only find a maximum of one item every six months per account.  When you find a "real" item, you will be given instructions on how to exchange it.  Follow these instructions precisely.  If you have any questions after you find an item, please do an ASSIST and a Gamemaster will help you with the proper information.

Type GEM MORE for more info.

GEM MORE

If you think you have found a REAL item, you will be given information at that time which will tell you what to do.  It will look something like this...[Note: Sample message only follows]

** This is a REAL {ITEM}!  Simply write Gems@simutronics.com
   and inform us you have found a real item.
   We will then verify that you have the item and will send it to you
   by U.S. mail.

   IMPORTANT:  Be sure and specify your real name, Email address,
               mailing address, where and when you found the item,
               and perhaps a phone number where you can be reached.

Please be sure to specify that you found ITEM {a special number} in your feedback.  The special code is important for verification purposes. Once we have your info, you are free to sell your "in game" version of the item at the gemcutters.

Good luck in your search!

Usage

The command is purely informational and is entirely out of character: it explains a Simutronics promotion in which items indistinguishable from ordinary ones are hidden around the lands, and the finder may redeem one for the real-world article of the same name. A character who finds one is told so when the item is examined, and is pointed back at GEM for the rules.

An account may claim only one such item every six months. Once a find has been reported, the in-game item becomes ordinary and may be sold at a gemcutter's shop like any other gem.

Notes

• The text prints only to you; nobody else in the room sees anything.
• There is no roundtime.
• GEM takes no other keywords — anything that is not MORE falls through to the overview rather than producing an error.
