I think I accidentally NPC'd my Paragon's Helm......

If it was any other type of item I would agree with you. In FFXI you are able to restore lost items, but only once. SE owns both games, their customer service should be the same.

I've dropped expensive items in XI by mistake before (Unsho @20m for example) and, while I was upset, I didn't call a GM to have it restored. I could always do the fight again to get another one or just buy another one. But in this case, I can never get the Paragon's Crown back since it's a one time reward. And it'll likely be BiS for a while, even after the cap is raised.

If they can't do an item restore, then I would suggest a tweak to the achievement system to allow players to re-obtain lost achievement rewards.

Yea, it was my mistake and I know that. But the only chance I will ever have of getting it back is to be persistent about it. Would you not do the same if it happened to you?

I wish you luck... *throws a lucky puk wing*

But that's precisely my point tho. If you get your item restored they would have to answer to all the people that didn't get theirs... (because I'm sure you're not alone.) If they had a universal system, like you described, sure. But they don't and I don't see any indication that they were going to get one.

But I hope you get your crown back. :'( Just cause.

Wow, I'm so sorry to hear this Best of luck

GM's used to say the same thing in FF11, they are useless in both games.

As someone abvoe said they need to provide a buy back function or allow us to get the item again from the NPC.

Hope you get it sorted.

I had this exact thing happen several times in Everquest, where the bankers would sweep anything you dropped on the floor immediately into oblivion. Also, if you dropped your connection mid-trade stuff was sometimes lost forever. GMs were no help and I hated it muchly at the time but that's the nature of the beast when it comes to GMs and CS in mmos I believe.

You know I am getting tired of people always thinking GMs are their little call bitches....... I had a few friends who where GMs for Ultima Online a good while back, and let me tell you, they had plenty of stuff to do besides come to the beck and call of every little request that comes in.........

GMs should be able to help you with this. Who else is supposed to? Part of their job description is to help players that are stuck.

In this case I'm stuck. I can never obtain this item again without the help of a GM or something similar. I really have no desire of creating a whole new character to get another one.

Agreed. I feel bad for the OP, because that situation sux--all the more because it was a simple mistake.

Blaming it on the game or on GMs, though... it's like leaving your wallet at a restuarant and then getting mad at the restaurant's owners when you come back and your money is gone. It sux, yeah, but it's your mistake. Own it.
