Game reward? 05/19/2015 02:11 PM CDT

Last night my character had a message that said she'd won something and to type (?) in to redeem when she was ready. Since hunting isn't a good time to consider such a thing, and bad weather made it now impossible to retrieve the word to type... I'm wondering if someone can tell me what the reward is and how to access it now.

It was probably one of the SimuCoins promotions. Here are the three most common messages:

[You have been awarded an Urchin Guide pass! You will have access to the URCHIN guides until Sun Mar 22 13:44:48 ET 2015.]

[You have been awarded an Enhancive Pause Pass! You will be able to pause the beneficial effects of your enhancive items and prevent charge loss 1 time.]

[You have been awarded a Locker Runner pass! You will have access to the LOCKER runners 1 time.]

Check URCHIN verb, or LOCKER verb (?) and maybe INVENTORY verbs, respectively. If it was an urchin it probably passed (pun) by now.

As an add-on to my helpful post, I'll say that this stuff is fairly naff. I used the urchin pass once, just to check it out. It was neat but it should last 6 hours (Gift duration) otherwise even the pass I just neglect. Pauses are fine as an item, but I can't see what I would do with 1. The locker part requires, I thought, premium to benefit. Unless I really really needed just one item from a locker I shipped to Zul, I can't see the use at all.

Granting 1 Adv guild voucher for 1 hour would be much more enticing than this stuff I'm about to squelch, personally. Then again, I already purchase guild vouchers, so I might just be the wrong market (but since I like that one, it might be a good one to offer to others?) Anyway, I wasn't here to complain at all, and I'd never complain about free stuff, even if I flush it 99% of the time.

Woops, my ranting sidetracked me (wow, that happens to daids...nevar!)

I suggest keeping log files of ALL your sessions always. They are extremely helpful. If you want suggestions on methods to search log files in any OS, just post here. NoteTab light was pretty decent when I used Windoze a decade ago (open a sack of logfiles, find all). For Mac OS or GNU/Linux, or other UNIX, grep is your friend. Actually, instally Cygwin just for grep'ping log files is probably worth while for text-based gamers IMO.

treasure boost for F2P is also a possibility.

Yep, but . . . that doesn't come with any 'redeem by' text, does it? I wouldn't know. . . I haven't seen one yet. ;x

I think the F2P messaging also includes free software plugs like "Use GNU grep when you forget".
