Missing GNG

Sometime this week, my GNG went missing from the floor of my tower. I know it was stupid to leave a GNG on the floor, but I'm sure I put it down in decorate mode. I've asked my butler, of course, but he isn't telling me anything.

There is a chance I accidentally donated or sold it while donating and selling musicblocks, but I'm nearly positive I didn't.
If someone took it, I'd really like it back.

Thanks!

Edited to add: Thanks to Quistra, there is now a 100k reward for whoever returns it.

Edited to add: There's been a lot of Missing GNG posts that have suddenly popped up. I don't know if this is proper proof that I had a GNG but I have got the Ascended badge.

  • I believe stuff placed on the floor, even in decorate mode, is not safe.  Sorry about your GNG :\

    Staff: Perhaps a "Towers" section in the FAQ is in order?

  • I'm nearly positive you didn't donate or sell it, too, since it was sitting on the floor the last half-dozen times I visited. Well, to anyone considerate enough to return Doubie's GNG, I'll tip 100k just for being an awesome person in general.  =)

  • diaveborn - Oops! I guess I won't leave any stuff on the floor anymore.

    Quistra - Thank you so much! I would leave a reward myself but I don't really have anything valuable enough

  • I know Doubie's probably realized this already, but for anyone else out there who doesn't know: NEVER assume that any item placed in your tower, in decoration mode or otherwise, is locked down in any way.  Even items which seem to be locked, which are tested as locked, can become unlocked.  This is a horribly buggy part of the game.  If you really feel that you must display something valuable in your tower, put it into a Storage Display Box, and don't set a price on it unless you really want to sell it.  No item will ever be locked to the floor, unless it's furniture which isn't for sale (and even then, bugs might creep in).

  • What Glum Pudding said.  I wish the devs would make an official post about this and sticky it at the top.  ANd tweet about it.  And have GOD tell us in-game.  And anything else.

    It's only only only only safe in an SDB.

  • Instead of making official posts, how about just fixing the bug?

  • Obviously a bug fix would be awesome, but we'd still need some sort of FAQ section or what have you about permissions in the tower.

  • I may have heard, you know, on the grapevine and whatnot, that there may be changes coming to item locking in towers...

  • I said they should post about it, Janitch, because I'm not sure which behavior is the "bug". Are items "placed" in towers _supposed_ to be safe, or are they just generally, so people assumed this is how it was intended? I actually have no idea.

    But enough people seem to think that "placed" items are safe that there should be some sort of official comment on it. And then, yes, they should decide how items are supposed to behave, and make it consistent. But I have no idea how difficult of a bug it is to track down, so I'm not going to comment on what the devs "should" be doing.

  • Items placed are supposed to be, yes - it is an actual bug.
