If I had a Mist Tank, (which I don't have anymore,) and the update where Mist doesn't exist happens, what do you thin will happen to my Mist Tank? Would it get deleted? Would it be used and simply do nothing? Would it be deleted, and get a really sweet item from the Mail to make up for it? I wasn't here during the update when Mist was removed, so what would happen?
What if I had a mist tank?
@Qwote: Spark is plural so life doesn't need to be plural. Spark of life can be logically rewritten as "life spark" and to make THAT plural it would be life sparks, not lives sparks. Basically spark is the noun, it is what is plural.
I wonder what would have happened if I had a mist tank in a mail before the update and claimed it after the update
Would it disappear? Would the mail vanish? Would that mail be replaced with the one that had SoL?
@Hallows: I don't know if UK English somehow effects it but it would be Sparks of life so the only thing that doesn't need to be plural is life. In American English spark isn't plural, for example "Three spark went off" is incorrect compared to "Three sparks went off".
What if I got the mail one day before the update and claimed the tank one day after the update?

Then there would be an error on the server where you can't accept it and you would have to contact OOO about it. :P

Nope, Three Rings aren't that perceptive. He would have received the mist tank as usual. If Three Rings had implemented the item converter as a rule and not just a one-time player database coversion, he would have a potentially server-crashing, "server has experienced an unexpected error" item, or item that just disappears and fills up your invisible mist tank.
Otherwise, the Mist Tank would disappear as soon as he accepted the attachement, and he'd receive another mail about its conversion into energy. Or the above would happen, but it would be converted into energy upon next login.
About the name, just compare it to similar situations:
God of War becomes Gods of War, not God of Wars
Parent of John becomes Parents of John, not Parent of Johns.
@Ms-Bubbles: I don't know if UK English speakers spell "Hollows" as "Hallows," but you do realize that you just said the EXACT same thing I did? I said it's not Sparks of Lives, rather Sparks of Life.
it would get converted to 10 sparks of lifes. lives. lifes.
