The Great Red Jailbreak of 2014
Recently, on February 6th 2014, a number of banned accounts were accessed on Red 1999. These accounts were never unbanned, but were instead able to be accessed via an error that occurred during the February 5th hotfix. This exploit was attended to immediately, and there was approximately a 24 hour window where accounts could be accessed.
During this small window, a number of accounts were accessed and immediately stripped of all items and gear. We believe this firmly implies that the players who logged into these accounts were aware that the ability to access their banned accounts may have been an exploit, but did not report it. Out of all the accounts accessed, only a single person who got gear off an account mentioned it to the staff prior to the bannings. After much discussion, we as a staff have decided the accounts banned in that wave will remain banned. Any account that received items from a banned account will remain banned. The exception to this is characters who were merely used in a quick transfer (IE, the items went to you and then were immediately transferred to another character). If you were not the end recipient of a 'banned item', then please petition on the petition/exploit forum and we will provide instructions on how to have your account unbanned. Thank you, and enjoy your weekend! | ||

Lot of respect for the GMs doing this. These people deserve to pay for their damaging intentions.

then again, kind of shitty in a lot of ways - the items were tracked down, so why keep the accounts banned instead of just deleting the items?
edit: or allow for a petition to be made where the player admits they received the items, and lists the items - sort of an admission of guilt and in exchange an account reactivation? | ||

Also, 500+ items were removed in 24 hours, and we don't have unique identifiers on items, meaning we'd have to either: A) Go through, by hand, logging in each character and deleting all the items or, B) I'd have to send 30 different SQL delete queries to Rogean for the inventory tables on each character to delete the items. Neither is worth the effort to get some dirty whistles unbanned, particularly when all that needed to be done was notify the staff prior to jailbreaking your banned toon's items. If the first thing you did upon logging in your banned toon was strip it, you obviously knew something was up. | |||
