Late in 2009 culture updates where planned to appease the demand for various cultural items. The plan was to start on the East side of the world and move West through following item updates. To kick off the first release which was an update of over 100 Asian themed items Stal-Mart ran a Cultural Awareness event. A set of items where given out through the market for 1g a piece. The downfall was the Auction House shops had to be filled by hand, this took the entire mod team working constantly to keep the shops stocked with items. Unable to keep up after a few days a shop was made allowing users to buy as many as they liked at 1g each. To this day many users still have hundreds of these items.
