Grovel to an Admin to Clear a Rental (in Public Record)


Mags June 8 2005 12:09 PM EDT

I've got an old Compound Bow sitting in rentals for the next 2 weeks. I'd really like to be able to transfer my character Brock Samson to Carnt Spall soon. If something, anything -- ranging from zeroing out remaining auction time leaving me having paid the fee, to outright deletion of the bow, whatever you deem fair -- could be done, I'd be ridiculously appreciative.

Deeply sorry I didn't notice this earlier...

Admins,

Sorry to bump a PR thread, but I humbly request some sort of response to the question above. I'm still very hopeful that some exception could be made since I'd be sacrificing $770k NW to make this happen, and I'm certainly not trying to turn a profit by handing Brock over to more capable hands. If it's just not possible, I'd like to hear at least a solid "no, that's against policy, we can't help you" so I can plan accordingly.

Thanks so much,
Mags.

I don't think anyone can do anything with Rental. May be except Jon. I am waiting for a reply to this post too... wondering how it would turn out.

I asked privately when I sold my character a little while ago, and got turned down, unfortunately. Of course, your rental is much longer, so maybe you have a bit of hope.... There *ought* to be a way to cancel auctions if the item is unrented, since the penalty is loosing the auction fee.

well as much as i'd like to help, the problem is the removal of the item, i can't do that, and neither does a full admin i think.

also an admin would need to know the full transfer fee for the character, which you will have to send to Jonathans character "Central Bank" in order to transfer the character over the hard way.

simple formula (that works 99% well) 1.3333*MPR + 50k = xfer fee

I'm shipping him along with all his equipment too, of course. How is that factored in as well? Is there a reason that type of transfer will be necessary instead of sending it directly to him?

Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, Shade.

I'd rather not have to brute force the character over since that's a lot of work. I think FatalException's suggestion is a very good one in the longer term, but I'm still optimistic something could be done for Brock sooner.
