Nordenwatch's RMT Journey
 
Hello everyone. I was actually banned a few months ago and not in the huge wave that apparently just happened, but I figure this is a good time to let people know what happened!

To those who have been asking about me, yes I was banned for RMT. I sold almost my entire inventory before I was caught and banned. I traded with various individual buyers as well as mass purchasers of platinum, such as platlord.

I'm going to be very clear about this: I acted entirely alone. The A-Team had nothing to do with this, and once the other leadership found out about it my connections to the guild were all severed.

Why did I do this? I have been asked this many times by friends I've made spending the years on this community. The short answer is that I got bored. I played Kunark for a full 2 years, velious seemed like a distant shadow in the horizon and I did not feel like playing everquest anymore. Instead of quitting with all my belongings intact which would have brought only temptation to play, I opted to at least make some money for the time spent.

I don't expect the community to understand my decisions, but this game had a hold on me and it was sapping my leisure time. This was one of the ways out, and I'm glad that I no longer spend my time logging in and fighting with internet strangers for pixels.

TL;DR: Nordenwatch Popped 60 Nec, Furiously Feigning 60 Monk, Noogar Please 60 Enc, Skab Gutz 60 Sham, Nordanwatch Popped 53 Cler, Teleportation 14 Druid. BANNED FOR RMT.

How much did you make?

"I got bored" is no excuse.

There's always the option of the "Delete" button.

Calabee 03-24-2014 12:55 PM

deleting is such a big no no, did that once on live lol

Like it or not in game currency has an RL value. If i'm not going to play anyway and therefore have no fear of being banned, why the fuck would I just throw money down the toilet?

Well he had a fungus staff, among a lot of other things.

So... thousands?

Wondering...
Some people are claiming GMs didn't ban the salesman and instead waited and than banned the people buying.

But maybe the GMs did ban the salesman (Nord) a few months ago and than it just took this long to confirm and track+trace all the culprits down. Catching Norden gave them a good place to start and yesterdays ban wave was the finish. For now at least.
