But people like to know if they are in a lottery or not. Opal I agree, people like to know and it is better if they do. I have been looking at FB postings and find a lot more announcements and explainations. It would have let us know that Windows was delayed etc. I know there are hard feeling and bad assumptions due to isolation. It's just that the string of 'unfair' and threats to quit is too much like grade school kids than adults at what has turned out to be an attempt at something good from MT.

And while I would love to accept MT's good will, i have a few speculations myself. One thing I saw at FB was dozens (Sorry, didn't count) of players claiming to be missing items from inventory and/or things sent that never arrived. It may be that MT was able to verify that and is replacing things lost, individualized to each player. Doing the right thing but 'saving face' by calling it a gift. Not all cultures have the western ethic of admitting self error and making it right.
