This Event is now over thanks to everyone who attended and we hope you enjoy your Lockpicks Watch out for more DVDF Events in the Future

We will Post Screen Grabs and a Full Blog Review later

The DVDF alliance is coming up to its one year anniversary, so we were wondering what we could do to offer some help back to the community. That idea came to us, when for the first time in 2007 the alliance owned for a few hours, a town in factions and so we had access to cheap merchant goods including lockpicks.

So in order to benefit treasure hunters everywhere we are selling our entire stock of several thousand lockpicks at the same discounted rate as a town owner would buy them at (1200 gold, as opposed to 1500). In short we are not making any money from this, just allowing those who would not normally have access to a cheap merchant the chance to obtain lockpicks.

The way it will work is this.

On the 22nd of July in Lions Arch International one, at 21:00 GMT we will be selling these lockpicks to all who come to the steps near first watch Sergio. Buy the lockpicks from only these people.

Only members with the DVDF tag, at that precise location will have the lockpicks so don’t bug anyone else.

People will be restricted to buying a maximum of 50(saving you 15K gold), so as to ensure more people get a chance. We can’t check, so please be honest and let others have a go.

When all the stock is gone, the DVDF members will leave the steps. Please don’t ask us for any more, we won’t have any.

A small FAQ

Q: Why are you doing this?
A: There are lots of people who don’t know anyone who can get cheap lockpicks in bulk. We are giving these people the chance to save some money and maybe have some fun.

Q:Are you making any money from this?
A:Nope, we are selling at cost price so we are getting no profit from it at all.

Q: I can buy lockpicks cheaper from x,y and z
A: For sure you can, it also takes a lot of time and hassle. This is saving you possibly hours of spamming.

Q:Why not give them away?
A:Mainly because it’s costing guildies several million gold to do this, and also it could ruin the prices of those who try and sell lock picks on a more regular basis. This is a one time event. Also if you buy the full 50, we are effectively giving you 15K due to the cost savings on the lock picks.

Q: What about scammers.
A: Every transaction will be screenshotted and scammers will be reported if they try anything

Q: I think this is lame/ Idea.
A: That’s perfectly ok, don’t come. Good luck and have fun somewhere else.

It’s been a great wintersday for DVDF and GW in general.

On Christmas eve, some guildies staged a 3 hour gold items giveaway in Kamadan, which was really enjoyed by all(givers and recievers). You can read more about it here

Special thanks to Brother Bryder, oo Midz oo and monksie the monk for arranging it, and all others who took part.

Guildies also helped and joined several PuG’s in the holiday season, making sure people were’nt stuck when others were CC shard farming.

The wintersday cape is now gone, and replaced by our normal one. I kinda liked it so we’ll be running a vote on whether to bring it back soon.
