So question...

How long till all the bans are handed out for accounts linked to the past RMT ? Would it be safe to say that a week from now if you were to trade or buy an account in game, and that char was able to log in, that the account was safe from the RMT bans ?

Assuming they were not doing it still..

There is a vast amount of trades, /splits, and stuff. People are slowly reporting it and giving more information. Ephi is doing it all, and there is enough on his plate. I wouldn't say a week from now will be safe. This will be a on going thing. There is some slight leeway if the person can provide enough proof to prove that they had no involvement in RMT. Bans for 3rd party programs, 100% ban even if someone else logged on to your account and got you flagged.

Bottom line, don't buy or sell accounts or risk it all. Buying and selling accounts is disliked by the staff, but wasn't disallowed since there isn't a system to stop this. Why make rules when you can't enforce them? That is why it is 100% on the buyer, and has no backing from the staff. This has been said since even I started playing back in 2010 on the server. Big Nilbog seems like he will remove it totally once they get a system in place.

This is the fair warning. Willing to risk being banned on an account you just spent 200k on? Go for it.

Yeah I understand the risks of account selling, and trading. Both of the accounts I've purchased have been held for the better part of a year or more and are on good standings. Personally I do not cheat on this game, and would NEVER waste my RL money on plat or items. Whats the point of playing if you do ?

Was more so just to clarify a time frame that could be a baseline for bans of accounts that could be linked to RMT.

Thanks for the response!

Been there done that, reroll what you love to play and retry. Sucks to lose months or years time on a game to be banned and unplayable forever. But maybe this will cut back on some account sales and trading, now that people see the true caution of it lately.

Meh, if I don't get at least the gear back I'll be calling it quits. I traded for a low level character because I just don't have the time commitment to be raiding. Figured it would be fun to play a twinked out warrior.

cheers,

and to Ambrotos, what messages are you speaking of?

the trade for the warrior was done all via messages in game with Hungfuu.

hungfuu seems to be under some heat lately and he actually told me he took screenshots of the initial trade with buyzandsellz guy for the warrior.

so before you go waving your giant e-penis around maybe you should ask for more info instead of assuming?

haha come again?

So if hungfuu wants to clear my name and his he should probably post those in game message screen shots in here.

To Ambrotos

I clearly posted the thread before the GMs replied, and then after the GMs replied I posted this,

"You know, I really never thought about the idea of a level 33 warrior being a sketch account. All the characters I've bought have had good reputation and I wasnn't worried about a low level warrior being some 'shady' account. The GMs said they will look into it more thoroughly and see if they can definitively prove I was not the owner in march. Guess I'll keep my fingers crossed."

Sounds like I definitely left out tons of information.

What's the point of posting in a thread without reading the entire thing? Just to be an asshole and try and make me look bad?

Cheers bud
