I know I'll probably get laughed at, even though it is no fault of my own. A friend of mine who was leaving the game, escrowed a boat load of stuff to me last night. He escrowed it to me specifically and it was set for 7-days, when I went to claim it today, it was gone!
I didn't know it was possible for anyone other than the designated character to claim an escrow, so perhaps someone has found a way to hack escrows?
Anyways, I'm sure the person who STOLE my stuff is as dishonest in RL as he/she is in-game. I do hope you enjoy what was meant for me.

You are absolutely right. You probably will get laughed at. I bet 2 bil ISK that your buddy either forgot to set the stuff to a specific person or put your name in the Description box instead of the proper box. Or just stupidly spelled your name wrong and escrowed it to someone with a similar name. ===============================================

It's flatly impossible for this to happen - barring GM intervention, which is unlikely in the extreme - unless your friend made an error of some description.
Someone taking advantage of a dumb error, doesn't really qualify as a thief, I'm afraid. It's *possible* they may be honourable enough to return the stuff that was meant to be yours, but I wouldn't bother waiting. ________________________________________________

It is also possible the escrow is still there but not showing up. Go to the station he escrowed it from and restrict the view escrows to station or system only. I bet it shows up if he set it up properly.

Edited by: Kazoki Zocore on 19/07/2006 22:43:40 Heh. Your friend probably misspelled your name or something. The safe escrow procedure is to type in the name, hit search, and choose the pilot from there. It makes it 100% sure that it will work, if done right.
Also, if the two parties are trusting of each other you can do this: The person setting up the escrow puts a price on it (say 10m) and then gives the other the amount of ISK. The person claims the escrow, giving the person their money back. This is a way to discourage people from claiming it for free if something is messed up.
And, yeah, their happy. They got free stuff.

I would like to thank all of you for your advice. Being somewhat of a noob I sent my alt to the station it was escrowed to and didn't see it. After being informed that it would be best to visit the station with the "named" character, I found the escrow safe and sound :)
Other than being a bit embarrased, the response to this thread was not what I expected--thank you all again for the information and advice--It's nice to know that not everyones a smart __s

You know that escrow only shows the last 1000 escrows placed in the area you have selected to show escrows for, right?

Are you CCP? If it turns out you lose an item because someone used an Exploit (cough cough ESCROW BOT), I'd imagine that your stuff may be returned.
Anyways the situation is resolved.
No offence but can you read?
He clearly said it was designated to him, and, some people are quicker than escrow bots anyway, Hippo I think it was claimed a rattlesnake.

What if this is related to the hotfix today? If none of the above works, you should petition it as CCP will know exactly what happened.
Good luck. ___________________________________________________________________

Edited by: Imodesky Kafelnikov on 20/07/2006 23:31:28 People who cry about "escrow bots" are just mad because other players are faster/more lucky than them. BTW, even if escrow bots exist, they would be at most 10% faster than a player, at best. Bots have no magical powers to make escrows load faster, and if you measure it thats 90% of the wait. If 200 players are all camping escrow it makes it very hard for a single person to grab that 0 isk BPO before the other 199 people do. You have NO PROOF that there are escrow bots or that they are constantly "stealing" the escrows. And as I said, bots dont have magical powers.

Actually there is proof of escrow bots. There was a vid on it where a guy was showing his bot in action. the second his item hit escrow his bot claimed it.
