[dev1203] What if you happen to own an hourglass after the update?

[Dragoy]

I would like to know this as well.

First thing after the announcement I thought of was actually going and buying one for no particular reason. Just having one while it's impossible to obtain anymore is somewhat fun...in a way. I do have a feeling it will be literally removed though, not just becoming useless.

That, or you would be able to sell it back to a NPC, or they would clearly warn about it becoming of no value (to other but collectors).

I actually can see a few people keeping one as a souvenir or collectors item to be sold for a lot in a bazaar.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking, if it will be possible.

I wouldn't sell it, though!

I hear if you give the hour glass to Prince Trion, he will give you one of his many Mithra wives.

I lol'd at this! Nice one.

I thought of that... but I'd defenitly keep it to myself.

Or SE will make it so if you're in possession, you can trade it for a refund. I'm sure they're aware of this issue as you can buy glasses right up until 1 minute before Servers go down. SE also has to assume not every player reads about FFXI news or updates online so they hypothetically wouldn't know of this impending removal. Or maybe someone bought a glass then didn't go into Dynamis because not enough ppl on and the next morning is the update. Therefore I'm sure SE will do something.

I'm going to buy an old hourglass just to have one, lol.
