I agree, with the additional point that if the GM's think its too much
trouble to come and trade the items to me, then they should not be a GM,
because they either volunteered for the spot or they get paid for it.
Thankfully, the problem does seem to be over :)

Ouch, that hurts. For what it's worth, Brell players got the same kind of
notice that Veeshan players did: hardly any notice at all, I remember it
being something like "WORLD IS COMING DOWN, GET TO SAFETY AND LOG OFF NOW."
Sheesh.
