It is pretty funny, every time I am in a group and I break out my motorcycle one of my group mates hop in the sidecar for a ride. invariably when the ride is over each person has said that they really want a hog of their own. Well, I'm going to give someone an opportunity. Hogs are BoE, so anyone can own and operate one. Coming up with the 30,000g to pay the AH prices is something entirely different. Well, I want to give someone an opportunity to own their own at a much lower price than that found on the AH. Here is what I purpose:
I'm going to donate all the materials to build a brand new hog except for those materials that need to be purchased directly from a vendor (pipes, pistons, etc.). That means all the titansteel and other building materials are covered. The rest of the material costs will be paid for through this raffle.
To get in for a chance to win the hog, you need to buy a ticket from me. Tickets are going to cost 25g each or 5 for 100g. You may buy as many tickets as you like. Once I receive the money in game, I will assign each purchased ticket a number (much like we do for the LOA raffles). When I get all the necessary titansteel I will draw a number and that person will win the hog. The money that is paid to me for the tickets will be used to purchase the rest of the components for the bike. Any remaining money I will use to buy stuff like dragon's eyes, frozen orbs, and other rare materials to make those items that people need for raiding.
I will be posting a list of ticket numbers and corresponding names to the forums so we can track how many tickets have been purchased and by whom. This will also be where you go to get your number. If I cannot raise enough money to purchase all the mats needed to build the bike, I will still do the drawing, with the winner receiving all the money used to purchase tickets. With that money the winner can decide to put it towards the hog (along with his/her own money) or keep it and blow it on whatever they want. So, even if we don't raise enough to build the bike, there will be a winner.
What do you guys think? Is there enough interest for us to make this work? Let me know as in ten days I will have enough titansteel to build the bike.
If this works well I would be happy to do it again in the future so others can have one of these cool bikes.
