400 accounts banned

[Wudan]

When I wrote this message, I wasn't kidding. We noticed, in particular, a new RMT site claiming to never have a customer banned. We silently tracked accounts we found affiliated with their operation, and now today we are permanently banning over 400 accounts that have participated in these activities. Don't bother petitioning unless you have a strong defense.

I'm not sure what it's going to take to get the message across.. I said in the last update that we have the logs, and that you will be found. You are THROWING money away. Throwing it at someone who does nothing beneficial to the server other than get you banned, instead of SUPPORTING the server, and helping the staff that pours our own money and free time into providing this for you. It's insulting to us.

good bye TMO :D

400 accounts....Rogean and company are fucking bad asses for sticking to their guns and banning this many accounts....this will do nothing but ensure the success of the server for years to come.

Amazing work to the staff of P99.

[Derubael]

The accounts banned came from all guilds. No one has a clean whistle in this wave.

Have fun with that RnF tidbit. You're all dirty as fawk.

RMT - its dirty and you want it

[FindCorpse]

Plus it's just a waste of money. You are paying for the time saved and then you lose the account. Waste of not just money but your time as well. It's bewildering.

[chief]

all my accounts are banned, all I did was buy a fungi tunic from 7/11 with my big gulp

[Lune]

Tunnel is empty as fuck. Thank you based GM's. Good bye motherfuckers

[Danth]

There was also a patch and corresponding server outage last night, so the usual dozens of AFK characters in the EC tunnel won't be online yet.

It'd be nice to know who was banned so I know who to take off my friends list.

I admit, I had browsed a few plat websites; however, being unemployed, I could not afford to buy anything; however, I still got banned? I'm not sure what I had violated? As for the mass bans, 3 months later? Entrapment anyone?

It's only entrapment if the GM linked you the website. KEEP YOUR NOSE CLEAN SOLDIER.

You've been convicted of thought crime, Tissat. We'd ask you how you plea but we already know. Now get in the isolation chamber.

=X EXCEPT! The thought crime was the past, I thought about it, then decided against it. It is totally not worth it for those prices, especially with the "chance" of getting banned! So, already not guilty!

You've just been convicted of crimes you would do in the future. We have our finest pre cogs on the case.

[Kayso]

Just donated for the first time. For great justice!

Forget the exp potions, guise and Fungi staff... Let's see a drive to raise some money for p99 and let the reward for meeting the goal be the name and shame. And, as a firm believer in guilt by association, I'd like to see guild names too!

[Tissat]

I guess you are not understanding... it WAS a thought, but then it was not because I had already decided its not worth it. and finest pre cogs on the case? lol, apparently not if I was banned for browsing months ago.

Post the name of the highest level toon on your account and lets see someone from the staff confirm that you were banned for browsing a website. Unless... What if the website was a trap set up by the staff? Hmmmm......

What level do I need to be to app to <Tinfoil Hat>?

[CindyLuWho]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_farming

pretty wide-spread by now (most of the dollars earned data is from 8 or 9 years ago)

basically too much money is involved to stop the sellers; income is being taxed !!

besides, banning 400 (or was it 621?) accounts makes it sound like the server operator is being proactive

why should banned accounts be named? you wouldn't recognize the player(s) /rolls eyes

Why no name and shame? Just wasn't enough TMO's?

[Kayso]

Enough? Are you confirming some were from TMO? Name and shame!

[Enygma]

Enough? Are you confirming some were from TMO? Name and shame!

Think he's referring to the front page name and shame that Rogean posted months ago when Froovy/Internode were caught duping... calling all of TMO cheaters because Froovy was a well loved player / had access to a lot of TMO accounts over the past 3 years and every single one he or internode ever touched were suspended.

i think sub 50, once you're 50+ the illuminati already has their hooks in you.

I think that's precisely correct. Because last time, you know, it was almost solely TMO and stuff

[Alarti0001]

Derubael posted no guilds were clean.. so I'm assuming a TMO member was hit.

[JayN]

name and shame we need a list!

[Lazie]

name and shame we need a list!

I have no problem with this.. However there are petitions in for some folks who may actually be innocent of just trading in EC. So you might name and shame people who do not deserve it yet.

[HeallunRumblebelly]

Lazie did you get banned :p

[Lazie]

Lazie did you get banned :p

Nope. If I was I think you would be too. We trade a lot haha.

[Ajkuhuun]

I can't imagine any of the Unreliable folks caring enough to drop plat on RMT, we haven't heard of anyone being banned but then again, maybe we weren't included in this because let's be honest Unreliable isn't really a guild lol.

[Ajkuhuun]

I stand corrected, apparently a few of them were :P

[Danth]

I stand corrected, apparently a few of them were :P

Obviously they were unreliable.

wish I had some means of knowing who on my friends list has been banned as opposed to who is simply on hiatus.

This totally covers everyone in our guild~

Just killed PD in about 8 seconds. Somehow I think we'll pull through this.

We had 1 BDA member but erroneously, was overturned quickly. Someone told me Hokushin got popped.

[Detoxx]

Lol at Hokushin, no more FTEs for IB!

Gonna need a confirmation on this one. Cuz if so we're gonna need to cue up the fistn on cazic thule video. For everyone, really.

Back in the day, after I told Ektar to fuck off repeatedly until he got me kicked out of IB, their next step was to accuse me of RMT. It warms my heart to see those same people FUCKING BANNED.

[dax]

so 400 accounts huh? population should have taken a dip no? still around the same population as usual

[Xanthias]

Considering how many accounts people own etc, it isn't as if they are all on at the same time.

Probably won't notice anything until certain names stop showing up all the time.

Though it would be cool after all the research of petitions is done if char names could be released. :)

Who in IB was banned?

[Kekephee]

A massive graveyard full of named skeletons with each of the banned names that will immediately become AE farming for chanters and wizards so nothing that drops in the zone is worth anything
