The current belief in the Sol Ro marketplace is that there are two versions of the Centi Longsword. One, the pre-nerfed non-lore version and the other the post-nerf lore version. I, however, have never seen a lore Centi LS in person or for sale. Talking to people in Maiden's Eye tells me that a lore version does not drop. Is it all just a hoax to jack up the prices on Centi Longswords? Before this whole mess started they sold for 1.5k, now they sell for 2-2.5k easy.

Also, a while ago I received this cryptic message when I got near the port in Butcherblock:


The heralding of the impending opening of the Plane of Decay? Or an advertisement for the 37th annual Oggok/Grobb Baked Bean Festival?

Oh, and here's a nice little picture I took during the Raster camp the other day:

Lore centi was going around on my server, too. I immediately spotted it as a hoax and said so. I even spent a few days in the market 'paying for anyone to show me a lore centi LS in trade window' and got no replies.
I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl, we ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn't I get that day over, and over?

I'd like to know what that message in the BB area is too... scared the hell out of me the first time I saw it.

Most definitetly NOT a hoax. I have seen several non-lore Centi's, I have seen several people dual weilding Centi's. I have had in my very posession a non-lore Centi. Practically the first day luclin came out they changed them to lore. They were too bad-ass. They nerfed them. So they are Very rare on any server. There are only about 15 on Luclin. I can confirm without a doubt that there are non-lore Centi long and short swords out there.

Centi Longswords are not Lore, they never have been. Centi Shortsword are Lore, they always have been.

The hoax is a Lore Centi Longsword.

Hippy,
All but a rare few Centi LS's I have seen are lore. They are "overpowered" and verant doesnt like over-powered item. All Centi longswords that drop now are lore.

Sweet fucking Jesus, boy. You once again get Longswords and Shortswords confused. Or maybe you still can't read.

The 'Lore' Centi Longsword is a HOAX. They do not exist unless GM created. All dropped Longswords are not Lore, and they are far from overpowered.

Despite having a warrior I have never cared to look for either of these weapons, but if the lore LS is a hoax, it'a a grand hoax across several servers that has lots of people falling for it...

Granted having bought a non-lore LS for 2kpp on one of my enchanter twinks on AnnoyingRo and then selling it for 4k, I can see the allure of such a hoax as well....

If thats true then I am the proud owner of one of those non-lore longswords on luclin server. It dropped quite awhile after SoL came out as a matter of fact.

I have never seen a lore longsword. Every longsword I have seen for sale is the regular non-lore variety. This leads me to believe the nerf if a hoax created to drive prices up. As such I'll never pay more than 1.5k for one as they are not THAT good.

Plus had they actually made them lore it would have been in the patch message.

Ah, such faith in the honesty of Verant... It reminds me of my youth, when I was delusional and thought the Vision was good...

Verant nerfs weapons all the time without posting it. They wouldn't own up to the Manastone being removed for several months... They nerfed the Robe of Living Fungus (they claim it never had regen when it initially did).... Fungi Staff must be wielded to be clicked... all kinds of changes with no announcement...
