giveaway, how?

I would like to give away all items (EU Softcore NL & Ladder), how is this usually organised?

Like this (example):

There is no one perfect solution to giveaways. While wanting to pass "your riches" on to others is always a kind thing to do and much appreciated, folks who do such giveaways will inevitably often be in different situations from one another, not just in terms of what there is to give but also in terms of how much involvement is desired.

As a result, giveaways come in many shapes and sizes, all of which are perfectly valid approaches:
- A random public "free stuff" game in which everything is dropped for folks to pick up
- A private giveaway game in which everything is dropped and the game name and password are subsequently posted here for folks to join and pick stuff up
- "Free" trades here in which individual items are given away
- A giveaway topic with some sort of game or riddle or the like attached or if not, a simple raffle, just some way to pick a winner from those entering the topic to join said giveaway
- A more "extensive" approach similar to what ShadowHeart has been doing lately in which the giveaway is tied directly into a fair amount of ingame activity
- Anything in between and then some

Simply put, sky's the limit and you can go with whatever your creativity allows.

More involved approaches are obviously just that and would require a lot more effort/time investment on your end which may not always be desired or even possible. Random public games on the other hand - while certainly the easiest - will typically have 1-2 people get everything so if you have a fair amount to give away and would like to spread it out across multiple lucky recipients, that approach wouldn't be the ideal choice.
As so often, the best solution...depends... Personally, I've gone with multiple different approaches in the past as it simply boiled down to the amount of stuff and surrounding situation/time/context.

An option is to "outsource" the giveway.
Talk with some of the know users that organize/do giveways, give all the items to them and let them distribute.
(and no, I'm not one of those users )
