Example
The following is from the 20th anniversary of the move to the web and were tied into the translucent glaes spider charms distributed upon login from the move to the web in 1997:
>giftbox You may only obtain one gift box per account. Once you get a gift box, you cannot use another character to get a second one. This will be for {Character} the {Race} {Profession}. Please use GIFTBOX CONFIRM if you want your gift box. >giftbox confirm You glance down and notice a ruined glaes spider charm in your left hand. >open my char You carefully but quickly crack open the charm and gaze in at its contents... In the glaes spider charm you see a golden feather charm, a meteor-etched gold ring, a hazy white note, a shimmering violet orb and a small opaque spider.
