Is there any possibility that special monsters such as Valentina, Guardian of
Dreams, or Damogran will ever be killed again? (Or in the case of Valentina,
for the first time) There are different methods that this can be approached
from:

1) Standard ticket-selling from an archwizard, similar to Zin and his Zragore
the Evil Pharaoh mob.
2) Archwizard sponsored lottery, with shares purchased from eq/exp/tps (Arch's
choice). Winner chooses 8 of his buddies and gets exclusive opportunity to
challenge the monster.
3) Monster becomes killable after certain other extremely difficult conditions
are met. For example: Burgle dies. Due to the significant lack of an evil
presence, (insert rare monster) lets his/her guard down and allows
combat/skills/spells or doesn't hit as hard (Arch's discretion)
4) Monster becomes killable due to particular RL celebration. For example,
Christmas, New Years, Batmud's Anniversary, Arch's birthday, Arch's
girlfriend's birthday, you get the idea.

What's the point of these monsters carrying equipment if the administration
won't ever allow them to be killed? Certain monsters have only been
vanquished due to the abuse of bugs, after which said bugs were fixed. I've
been around for almost 7 years and I know that Damogran's cloak isn't +1
spr/wis and Shield of Dreams isnt +1 parry/avoid/con. I don't care how hard
you make the monsters - give us lowly mortals something to stive for! Give us
something we can tell a story about at the next Campcon!

Where's the idea in this post? Arch or no arch, people should really
consider which news-group you post your personal flames against
some more or less valid ideas. It's post like these that makes many
wizards (and mortals) just "c" through ideas-wanted, thus skipping the
actual good ideas (which exist, I'm almost sure).

I mean jesus, what's the point of being an arch if you can't blatantly ignore
the rules everyone else is supposed to follow. BTW: you aren't an arch, so
you reply was off topic, please keep your posts on topic or put them in the
right forum, your reply should be in bs I think.

I don't get it, you gave the solution to the problem in your post. Find some
"bug", abuse it and kill the monster, then we fix it. Simple.

Those eqs are teasers. You're obviously annoyed, so it is working as planned.
