And I admit that I may be wrong about this, so if so, just say...

I got the distinct impression that you had dropped link next to a limited prep in order to be first to it after a reboot, but were not even on before the reboot.

i.e. It looked as if either you were on with another character, and when the mud rebooted, came back as Kozakura who had dropped link next to said prep, or someone told you the mud was rebooting and you did the same.

If you were on before the reboot, then I stand corrected.
