TMO leadership then tried to cover it up but it all leaked out. Pretty sure someone ending up buying Durison the toon for plat (it was legal back then) and changed its surname to something funny and afked it in the EC tunnel.

He rmted his wife's druid Fefifofum along with 100,000s of stolen items/plat from shared accounts within the guild.

Pretty sure he rmted off to buy DJ gear or some shit. Because he was goinf to become some legendary DJ.

Caught lying again, Jerhhhmayey.

cover it up? Durison rmt and steal was public in 24 hours , loly was spaming ventrilo for hours about it,

alot of rmt users did got unbanned after some time , jesus CE was on his monk just 7 months after he got banned for rmt doing bussines as usual while tagged in BDA and making fun of skarry while still selling rogue epics mqs .

Rotten to the core after 2012ish, then to add to that they stomped their feet and left because Uncle Sirken wouldn't let them have their own ringfenced pixels in Velious after abusing the management of the Kunark rotation.

Now they're on a declining pop server heading to oblivion together, here's a visualization if anyone needs one >> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCDKJQ3Z8bU

It's quite fitting ^^

As far i recall BDA was the one caught with more people using mq and show eq back in the first ban wave upon kunark release , and if i remember the numbers were posted by rogean in forums , tmo got 2 baned , while bda got 37.and peace pipe was obliterated

mass GM deleveling of TMO toons for MQ use

Imagine how different this server might be if everyone who used MQ were banned outright.

Yah they tried because it was pretty much right after the mass GM deleveling of TMO toons for MQ use so they didnt want it breaking that one of their officers was mass RMTing off the server most of which was stolen gear/plat.

All I know is or remember is that his toon and his wife's tokn changed hands via plat purchases afterwards too then I think Fefifofum got banned along the line.

I left for eqmac at this point so the blue99 fest was kinda history.



Edit: heck I wasnt even in a raid guild and I knew this stuff.

u confused as fuck, the guild wich got mass deleveling was not tmo but ib, infamous perun draw a map excuse video. wich infact did helped tmo alot , since it happened shorly after the nerf to skyfire bard aoe pulls.

Even as far it comes durison was kicked of tmo after 2week of merger with tmo+da. exactly for that . he run away with a donalds bp .Tmo infact was struggling agaisnt TR at that momment, durison was there for our first upon merger trak kill and run to rmt shortly afterwards

An interesting thread - always nice to read about history.

The only downfall has been I have read about very similar events on other EverQuest servers. Has there ever been a server where one or more of the top guilds were not accused and caught exploiting bugs, RMTing, and one or more "infamous" people walking off with the guild's stash of loot?

I remember this same stuff happening back when Live was young. As the old saying is said for studying history that it is liable to repeat itself, nothing has changed except for the names of the players, and their guild tags.

There is no reason other than greed that high value targets arent on a rotation schedule including all guilds that have a good chance of downing them. Insanity.

Been a while so i will try to make it easy .

at the kunark Start, the dominant guild was transatlantic rampage, second was dark ascension, DA and tmo(back then a small size guild but growing).

at this momment VP was not released . TR and tmo feuded for a while . Tr begin to absorv other guilds Because it was at a very low ebb.

VP opens , the Train wars begin , back then vp was a not csr zone so wiping enemy guild with trains was the standard . TR had few good trainers but Tmo had edge with Necrious ,fazlazen, darkdeath, zeelot etc.

Truce is called and a rotation btween TR and tmo happens for a while.

While tmo is raiding sky, TR breaks and reforms inglorious basterds. and try to break the rotation.

Hell breaks loose and TMo superior numbers eventualy wins .

IB rmt in mass and move to EQmac.

TMo reing begins, few guilds try to make moves but got totaly crushed

This last for almost 2 years.

The froovygate happens.

Froovy was a beloved member of tmo , lots of players shared accounts with him .Froovy and others got caught duping.

p99 staff Bans him and any account he had touched , it involved hugue loads of players of tmo, and accounts with infranstructure of the guild .

TMO main competitor at this time was Forcefull entry .

Zeelot , goes on rampage and launch a ultimatum to the staff, Rogean is not stupid and ignore him . although he had the decency to admit not all tmo players where involved in the froovygate scam

TMO is reforged with zagum leadership,

TMO VS FE wars.

ib returns from eq mac and reforge as Rampage.

FE`+Rampage vs tmo. tmo starts losing ground.
TMO crumbles , but partnership btw fe and rampage breaks .

TMO merges with fe . shit doesnt go well for them, strong rampage with Hokushin and the mad bat shit crazed kegluas , breaks new tmo and start dominating.

TMo Fracture , division of old players and new blood grows , eventualy a faction of people breaks guild .

Rampage ends wining the long kunark roads(and Velious aswell[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.])


p.s the reason about paladin epics were cheap as fuck and sold by tmo as garbage was because there was almost no paladins back then. tmo just had a main paladin player for most of kunark . wich was Vonhammer .


my first post in years , im at ibiza and drunk and sentimental mode was lurking the forums.

If you reading this either from tmo, fe , rampage, and even fucking bda . thank you for the memorys of almost 5 years playing this server. for the good and for the bad

-sneaksy and filbus go on massive crime sprees, to the delight of all
