I dont know if this works yet, but anyway, heres what i did last night: i found some (twinks or) people level 30-40 ish, then i sent this messege to them "i no u told me not to get you a B-day present martin, but i couldnt resist so0o0o0o0o0o, here is that skullflame sheild u have allways wanted dont think ur gunna get away with out paying me for my efforts tho! either way, u r getting a VERY good deal on this!!!!" the item i sent was a blacksmiths hammer wrapped in that red ribbon stuff, and i put a 5g COD on it like i said, dont know if this works yet, but i think it will on about 8/10 people. after all, who can resist a skullflame sheild?!?
just try and act like they are your friend and you sent it to the wrong person.
ill post my results on this when the servers r back up.
