    Default Story behind -fnord, Founders' Helms, and Gratitude items

    (Update: I have decided to include the Shield of Gratitude and Frozen Crown of Gratitude to the guide just because.)

    Ok so I have been getting asked a lot why I have a "-" in my name whenever I get on my enchantress, so I have decided to make a thread talking about -fnord and why people have it for those of you who do not know. I also figured that I would talk about Founders' Helms since I have been asked about them when I use them.

    On April 12, 2010 Spacetime Studios released another server for Pocket Legends called Fnord. They did this because they thought that one server was going to be overcrowded, which is a bit ironic if you consider their reason for getting rid of it. On May 27, 2010 STS merged the Alterra and Fnord servers to get rid of Fnord because it was not getting as much players as they expected. When they merged the servers and transferred characters from Fnord to Alterra if there was a character on Fnord who had a name of a player on Alterra they added -fnord after their name (ex if there was a character on Alterra called killer and a charcter on Fnord called killer when the servers merged the character from Fnord server become killer-fnord)

    Founders' Helms

    On April 20, 2011 STS gave the Founders' Helm to anyone who made their account in either April or May 2010. The Founders' Helm is the only vanity helm that gives stats other then +1 armor. Founders' Helm gives +5 attack and +5 armor which in low level PVP can go a long way.

    Now for pictures of the 3 variations.

    Shield of Gratitude

    On April 18, 2011 STS gave out a shield to everyone who bought all the main campaigns before they became free on PL's first birthday. Just like the Founders' Helm the shield also differs based on what race you use it on. Thanks to Overkilldex in game for the pictures of the shields.

    Frozen Crown of Gratitude

    On March 29th, 2011 STS gave a crown to everyone who purchased the side campaigns before they released them for free on PL's second birthday. The crowns do not differ too much between the characters so I will only include one character.

    That is it, I hope you all enjoyed reading and learning about the Founder's Helms, -fnord names, and Gratitude items. If I missed anything or if you feel like there is something I should add leave a comment or message me.

    Credit for the pictures of the Gratitude Shields goes to OverkillED on the forums, Credit for the dates goes to DocDoBig and his PL's Timeline thread.

    I had not played for a while. Now I know why I get near daily requests to trade accounts with people because they want my founder's helm. No way, dudes!

    If practice makes perfect and perfection is impossible, why practice?

    I would, but unfortunately I only have enough time to waste on one game.

    I have never tried to sell my account. I find it really stupid that people sell accounts with rare stuff like what I have on. I have had offers for my account but I would never accept any.

    Some people are down right jerks to me when I refuse to trade accounts with them. Why would I want their crappy lame Mage with a stupid name just because its a hire level than my bird?
