Lost and Found?

I just sold my little house at 4344 Marakesh Meadow Quarter.

I didn't have any friends who could help me move, so I left three large bags on the doorstep, each labeled Gomi's Moving Bags, with a note to say I'd be back for them in just a minute.

(And I wasn't trying to be selfish or stingy. I left the house loaded up with a full garden, pigs, chickens, butterflies, feeders, milkers, wood trees, and a cupboard full of goodies for the new owner. You know, to be neighbourly.)

I travelled across Ur, dropped off things at my new house, and when I got back...two of the bags were gone. :(

At least one bag, and the note, was still there.

Someone had already just bought the house (ScarletRose), but unfortunately, she didn't know what had happened to the bags. :(

I know I was taking a risk, but I didn't have other options, and I thought that in Glitch it was worth a chance to count on the kindness and honesty of other people.

If someone else in the neighbourhood took them by accident or in error, and would care to return them, that would be very nice--and very Glitchy of you!

[Edit] Updated to add that I don't want anyont to think I'm singling out ScarletRose in a negative way. I mentioned her by name because she happened to be at the house when I arrived and was kind enough to answer questions for me. I'm grateful to her for her help. (And I really hope she enjoys her new house!)

  • I'm so sorry that happened to you :( It's unfortunate that someone would take them, but that's just some people I guess. I know there are moving groups and services that you should think about asking help from for next time or for any time you want help carrying things. This game has a great social aspect and it's a lot of fun having someone over to help you pack up and move into a new house!

  • Sharmy, I've had my eye on some 7500 houses, and the one I was trying to buy sold right out from under me! Then I found a second one and wanted to move fast.

    I'm not sure how people coordinate moving when the real estate sells so quickly around here.

    It was actually a spur of the moment decision. I just got my Penmanship skill, so I thought I'd leave a note and try my luck.

    The loss of my stuff really isn't important at all (don't cry over lost pixels, right?). I'm not worried about that part at all.

    I'm just hoping that it was a genuine error or confusion and someone might be kind enough to return them. I thought it was worth asking.
