We’ve just released a revamped system for raffles!
You can now see which raffles you have entered with the new RAFFLE verb, and RAFFLE LIST will now list all known raffles. RAFFLE HELP outlines some other options, like viewing the details of a specific raffle from afar and asking a local street urchin to direct you to a specific raffle.
New with this release is the possibility of winning certain raffles while offline or while logged in as another character on your account. Both of these options will limit you to one entry per account (rather than one entry per character), since otherwise people with multiple characters per account have an advantage over people with one character per account. Raffles may now also have various restrictions (such as profession or citizenship requirements) which you must qualify for before being allowed to purchase a ticket.
When encountering a raffle table, you are encouraged to LOOK TICKET ON TABLE and carefully pay attention to any restrictions listed.
