So, I stood outside Rome Blue North General Shop, looking in my backpacks organising my loot before I head in and flog it all for much needed currency. Level 16 with 21,000cr to my name.

Suddenly, this big Atrox opens a trade menu with me. Nothing unusual in that, people accidentally open trade windows with me all the time. Except people don't normally type in 1,000,000 and press accept. They also don't normally then send me a /tell saying "here ya go, you look like you need it"! :eek: :weird:

That bought me a few implants :D

Not really that rare though. I was in a team at the ToTW earlier today and tipped the doctor 1mil when I left. The reason - She was the best doctor I've seen while I've been at the temple :D (Saved most of the team at the last minute at seperate times)

Yeah, but that Doctor actually DID something.

I was level 16, just stood there minding my own and a lvl200 does that. Absolutely no reason for it at all, :lol:

I believe these are "GMs" from Funcom. I have had this happen to me on two occassions, once for 1 mil and another for 5 mil. Really makes sense if it be.

Nah - If it were GMs, they'd likely show some overt affiliation to FC or ARK. (Unless it was their play characters, but doubt it).

I think in these cases, it was just a case of some people being generous to lower-level players. :) Anyway, cash is cash so you complaining? :)

Sounds like GM's to me.

Good way to keep players interested and content.

Eh? As Toindari, I met a player called Asquista. She (and I found out the player really is a she) was still learning the game, so I gave her some better guns that I had. I later met her son. (which was odd) and I was teaching him stuffs. I bought him two backpacks (and saw him using one of the guns I gave his mother. :p)

What did I care? I'm rich, and they're new.

In Neocron, people with money would gank the mother the first chance they got, and then gank the son equally afterwards as many times as it took for them to leave the game.

:lol:

(sorry, has nothing to do with AO)
