And is almost exactly what it was when I first started playing EQ back in the good ole days.

I'll leave names out but... A fellow mage practically handed me a Torch of Alna while I am level 20th. Another mage hunted a bit for me and gave me the spoils when I was level 3-4. And dozens of folks just have a great attitude and have helped when it was convenient.

Thank's to those who created and host this, and the player base helps make it worth staying.

Regards,

I had a great start here and just like with any game I ever play I didn't read much about the game/place/instructions I just started playing. About a month into it, after getting one character into the 40's, I found an old copy of mySEQ I used to use on PEQ a long time ago. I fired it up and started using this to make travelling easier. I'm not in a major guild and don't have a character above 53. I spent the vast majority of my total time killing beholders in the gorge gathering PBB's to be able to sell them and twink myself and subsequently my RL friends.

Fast forward a few months... Then I introduced a few RL friends to the P1999 world. We start playing together. And I get suspended for using mySEQ. The friends are fine, they weren't using it.

I started reading up and realize I was not following the rules. I inquire as to why I was suspended and when I am told why I am embarrassed and I apologize to the devs for wasting their time. In the inquiry as to why I was suspended, after I realize why, I volunteer all my accounts and characters to suffer the penalty. In the two weeks they were monitoring I had really only primarily been playing one of my accounts helping my RL friends level. I also give the server another donation (I told the devs I owed them for taking their time away from the community), I have donated a couple/few times because I would like to see this place stay.

Now, my question to the community is assuming all this about me is true should I be burned at the stake as many of the people here would like to see? Or do I simply stop using the shit tools that got me in trouble and move on with my punishment?

To me, I got a speeding ticket for not going the posted limit. I messed up bad and will have to pay the price. I deserve the punishment (to all my characters) whatever it may be and am not at all arguing that it should be or should have been okay. But should I just go away because I made this mistake? Why on a blue server is there so much aggression towards those who made a similar mistake? PLEASE understand I am not justifying in any way not following the rules I would like to SINCERELY understand why so many of the community members are so insulted by my mistake? How my sort of error has affected them in such a drastic manner? This is not me being sarcastic or facetious. I don't intend on using tools to augment play anymore just would really like to understand why so many are so offended.

Thanks,

Is someone showing an ounce of integrity here? Can't be, too many shitbags here.

People that level legit are offended people are shitting up the server with MQ and other programs drastically leaning gameplay towards the cheaters.

Duh.

You apologize, you dish out some cash, and you come on here hoping to get a pat on the back and reach around.......I dunno man.

You are a cheater

Whoa whoa whoa I admitted to cheating first and high fived the gm's for gettin some anti-hax software going first. Off my coattails.

Generally, they are offended because they invest too much emotion and personal ego into Everquest in general.

You were wrong, and will suffer. But all the people who want to pour salt on the wounds are either 10 year olds pointing the finger at the kid that got caught chewing gum in class or people whose real lives are so crappy that they have so much ego invested in the game that they need to feel good about themselves by finding an 'enemy' to bash.

Aka: HA, I'M BETTER THAN YOU BECAUSE I DIDN'T CHEAT, EVEN THOUGH I FAIL AT LIFE.

You also smuggled drugs and have bad teeth

I don't really care what they do with the cheaters.
Ban them? Suspend them? Take their plats I don't give a shit it's a game.

However, he asked why people were angry. It's because he's a cheater.

and you referenced a kid chewing gum in class?

This is more like everyone else haveing cotton mouth, and finding out that the kid was chewing gum ALL year sipping coke in the back of the room and just got caught.

but like I said it's a game.

Perhaps the ones you can distract long enough to slip shit in their drink.

Unconcious moans still mean no.
