Remember the Raren memes? His cousin sold him out and gave me all of his personal info for a character rename of 1 letter difference.
Zyvixious lol.

Raren blamed me, but everyone knows the Cab doesn't snitch.

Raren Memes was the highpoint of RNF's illustrious history.

Yeah this was 2011. Before DDoS protection was on the server. Before many modern customer service tools existed. Before many major plat dupes and exploits had been shored up. Before they realized that they over-valued bad PR from offsite forums. It was very much a frontier setting.

The old threads are still out there somewhere. Most people had no idea what it took to maintain order. Tiggles was a level 25 mage who was nothing on the server. I had no GM tools at that point, but I had the ability to ban and unban people.

I made a few deals with people who had been caught 2boxing, allowing them to get a few items off of the banned characters in exchange for a character (character selling was a legit thing at the time).

I set Tiggles up with a level 60 rogue, in exchange he would act as a plant to infiltrate TMO and find the DDoSers. We had a few other techniques and resources for locating and neutralizing threats that go far beyond what people realize. RMT was a big threat to the server, because SOE was tentatively OK with P99, so long as no profit was made.

But the guy who ran the server's first plat selling website thought he was slick shit, making tons of money by exploiting the trust of his guildmates. Technically couldn't do anything without affecting half of the server's population that he had conned... until he found his bank accounts frozen and his utilities shut off. Never heard from him again after I used his real name, think he put 2 and 2 together.

But I went just as far to help people who needed it. I sat in north karana for three days in between petitions using a forage skill of 50 to do a reimbursement for a stack of plains pebbles once, when I didn't have GM abilities.

Sometimes it takes a criminal to enforce the law in a lawless frontier.
Uthgaard would give me back my Autotune forum account.

If there's a single thing of value I'm taking away from reading the thread, it's this.

It's funny because I bought that FBSS from Stealin and then got a haste belt in sky 5 minutes later.

True story, I remember all the platinums I had to give up after being forced to carry it around for the duration of the SKY raid because someone didn't want to be burdened with their own money.

I'm glad you attempted to find my penis. Because all of this was posted later on in that same thread on pages 30-45 or so.
Who would have thought your dick shadow would bring everything back full circle years later?
