Gambling bound lessons

So, I was trying to bet the rest of the lessons I had on me, because I had nothing better to do, and seeing those few sitting there was probably going to bother me, for some reason.

You can't gamble with your free lessons from character creation or gaining
levels.


Yes, well... lessons aren't always from character creation, or gaining levels. I can see the whole character creation thing, so they don't abuse the system and recreate over and over, and maybe the gaining levels thing, but it's grouping bound credit lessons into it, and now I have lessons that I can't gamble. In fact, if it excludes lessons from character creation, lessons from levels, and lessons from converting credits... what telse kind of lessons are there?

I'm quite confused.

As far as I can tell, you can't gamble lessons at all anymore. I've tried converting a credit and gambling those lessons, I tried binding a credit, learning those 2 lessons, and gambling the other 6, nothing.

Yeah it sucks you can't gamble lessons at all, I always wanted to try blackjack with 1000 lessons.... would be a nice return if I popped 21 on the deal smile.gif

Wihs they would fix it sad.gif

Does anyone know if this was intentional? Because if it was, the documentation that says that you can bet lessons should be removed.

Before, I wasted a credit on this, too. And they're expensive sad.gif

i found this out a while ago maybe up to a month or 2. I've bugged it twice and it still hasn't changed though :/ I really wanted to gamble 100 lessons at a time

On Aetolia, we were allowed 100 lessons per gamble. When the servers were being switched, there was the original server that was available for a few days just to fool around on, where nothing mattered. It was known as Aetolia Dream. Or maybe Dream Aetolia, don't remember. On the alt-server, I quit my class and gambled with 100 lessons at a time on a single number, and won within about the five tries. I kept going, and won three or four more times and got up to 15,000 lessons. I went Sentinel, and transed almost everything. It was amazing. Of course, I got back to the real Aetolia, where none of it every happened. It was about that time that I was getting bored of the game, so I told myself that I'd leave, unless I could duplicate what happened that day. What do you know? I gambled 4000 lessons into nothingness.

I did a similar thing in Achaea. I decided I was going to leave Achaea permanently for Lusternia unless I could gamble up enough lessons to at least be tritrans. And surprisingly enough, I did it (from only about 500 lessons to begin with). Still, I eventually got bored, forgot everything, and tried to gamble up some more. When I ended up with 0 lessons again, I decided to come to Lusternia completely.

Wow... I'd never be brave enough to gamble lessons! laugh.gif

Yes, it's pretty painful, especially when you know that you're gambling away real money. (If you paid credits for most of the lessons, that is.)

Um, i've gambled lots of lessons. On both Roulette and Blackjack. It was possible a month or so ago, for sure.

You can't right now anyways Noola dear. Everytime I try it, it says I can't bet free lessons... even though I haven't gotten a free lesson in forever. sad.gif
