Nasty Hackers took us down - and Jay hasn't gotten around to restoring that Mod. I also think that specific Mod may have had security weaknesses that were exploited by the hackers. [Do I have that right Jay, or am I hallucinating? ;) ]

:D They were a points system, and there was a shop with various items that you could buy, (displaying little icons under your user name), or you could change the colour of your name/title, stuff like that.

Mods could also give them out as incentives, rewards, etc.

The system lost some of it's value when a member who shall remain nameless, ;) abused it a bit. But it had almost recovered when a casino was installed, making the acquisition of WGD rather easy. :lol:

Rumour has it that Donald Trump has pumped a lot of WGD's into developing properties in the Southron Wastes. He's apparently going to turn the area into the "Las Vegas" of the Land, with casinos, hotels and golf courses. If Lord Foul doesn't corrupt the Land, the Donald surely will... :screwy:

WGD's were fun - if not a bane. I don't see them returning any time soon

Pity. Still, the only thing I really miss though are the name and title colours.

And there were our Watchies. :D
