Remember when Leo's Archsword was available in the /examples directory? It had some obscene WC, and was an example of "This is a weapon that's too good for the game", I think.  /examples was primarily available as a default exit from a wizard's default workroom, so they could start learning LPC and how to create rooms, objects, and monsters.

Then one day Sambar auctioned Leo's Archsword on the Tradeline, and I seem to recall Leowon teleporting poor Sambar to the highwiz's workroom, demanding to know how he got it.

Well, Sambar said, you see, I looked around, and saw an old wizard (Gatelord, was it?) login, and the mortal I was talking to was transed from church to the wizard's workroom.

Yes, yes, Leowon said, get on with it.

Well, Sambar said, I made sure I was sober so there wouldn't be the "So-and-so is drunk" message, and dried myself off, and did a silent forced goto to the mortal. It cost all my spellpoints (plus 15!) but I appeared in the room without a message.

And? And?

Well, I prayed that neither of them would "look" and see me there, and I waited for them to logout (nice conversation they had, too) and walked into the examples directory and took the archsword. Then walked out, took the exit to church, and wondered what a poor Simyarin would do with that sword?

He made Sambar give it to him. Tsk.

Remember when Simyarin opened in January 1996?

And all the fun of teleporting all 'round the mud willy-nilly?

Ah....
