As you may be aware, there was an earthquake near Taiwan. I'm told that some Asian players have not been able to attend the Wintersday event. Now, I can't get them a hat -- hats are customized. However, what if there was a way to get them a Wintersday gift or two? That's what I'm hoping to do!

Maybe you could stand in town and ask players to donate some of their wintergifts. You'd collect a lot more gifts.

Aww, that would make me feel bad. These are unclaimed, so no one is having to make a sacrifice, and I don't know, it just seems a perfect answer.

Oh, so that's what it is. I thought it was some random person who used a bug to get up there.

There's a whole pile of presents in Dis 52 if you're still looking for any unclaimed presents. But, they might already been picked up by another person like yourself.

Why? It would fit perfectly into the 'wintersday spirit'. It would make the wintersday event even more special. And it's not like you'd command players to give you their gifts.

I actually manaaged to get up on the grenth side. I tucked my character into the corner that is formed by the stairs and the ledge to where the presents drop on the grenth side. I waited for death and boom my body spawned on the ledge above - and when I was ressed poof ... I was on the ledge..(unfortunatly I didnt take a SS. but i did manage to flash my tiger over the ledge =p) ...stupidly i talked to grenth and got ported out of the ledge area.
So I go back down to try to get back up so I can wait for the ~10 presents get unassigned ... and what do I see but about 5-8 people doing the method I used to get up there. I think 2 got up before it ended (I didnt get the chance to die again, so i didnt get up again)
But its definatly possible to get up grenth side ... gg no z-axis gw programmers
