This is fascinating.

Now, when I was at the height of my Dragonrealms obsession-- '99 or so-- I remember wanting this particular gown for my character, an elf empath, so badly that I almost understood the concept of paying actual money to purchase virtual items. The description of a dress. The idea of a dress. (Drop-waist, dark blue watered silk with golden bumblebess embroidered near the hem of the full skirt-- but nevertheless.) I never quite got insane enough to actually do this-- instead, I logged long hours in the infirmary, healing dwarves and G'ortogs and whatever else came along until I-- er, my character-- had enough to afford the gown.
