Also to the OP. You are getting everything back you asked for minus a character name. Take that offer and stop posting.

Wrong. He has offered nothing to compensate my bard other than to change the PW for me, so that at any time he may change it back and steal it again. Why would I trust someone with such low moral standing to stay honest to his word and not mess with the account again?

Also, losing a name is far more important to me than losing the levels.

It's sad that so many of you have become this innately pessimistic about community interactions and caring for other players. It's even more sad that you can't see beyond the characters to the fact that someone out there (me) wasted quite a bit of real life time at this community to have it wrongfully taken away because of an arbitrary change to the system.

You can quote all of the "at your own risk" posts that you want. The fact of the matter is that there was no "risk" involved to those accounts with the system as it currently stood when I sold the eqemu account when it was not against the rules to do so. It came down to me losing my hard work because of a change you guys made to the system.

Even more so, it's really disheartening that someone like you nilbog, whom obviously shares the same love for classic pvp and everquest, could turn away from my pleas for help, when it became more about doing the right thing and less about rule lawyering as everyone here has become accustomed to do.

There was a risk. You're experiencing that right now. Its what everyone was warned could happen.

Bardalicious doesn't deserve to be helped. I'm sure the GM's appreciate this huge waste of time though.


On that note, fuck Omni.

Seriously man. Read Nilbog's post from 2012 again real carefully. The warning was given that they would most likely be changing the way account info was handled. The warning was given that if you didn't have your account secure at the time that the changes went into effect, you would just have to eat it. What are you still going on about GM responsibility for? If people can't listen to warnings, how is anyone else responsible?
This actually supports my point even more. GMs KNEW that system will change so radically that all old expectations will be broken. Yet, they shown their indifference to account trading, essentially condoning it. What they have in fact told you is "We do not support account trading, but we do not forbid it neither. Do what you like". This is exactly why I claim they are responsible. They are the only ones with power to manage the server. They set the rules. They are responsible for what the rules are. Their 4 year long indifference to account trading only proves that they acted irresponsibly. The rule for account trading should have said "not allowed" from day 1, but instead it said "do what you like - we don't care". GMs are responsible for that. Not having a proper rule-set and ignorance of obviously troublesome situation just as bad as creating this situation themselves. GMs allowed account trading to run rampart because they didn't want to get involved, yet they did not had the will to ban them outright.
I judge others by the same criteria I judge myself. I would have ban account trading from the start. So would many people. But I would also take responsibility for what happened on my watch due to negligence of setting up proper rule-set.

The people who invented the first space ships were brilliant. That doesn't mean anybody should actually want to use them 200 years later. Ideas are limited by means of execution. Everquest has amazing ideas that need to be completely reworked in their execution, in order for classic Everquest as it was envisioned to actually exist and continue to be relevant as things have evolved.

We get it. You think that the staff is totally responsible for the players poor decisions. The problem is that nothing you say actually makes any sense, or even matters. Its just your opinion. The fact is that they haven't gotten involved in these disputes in the past, and they aren't going to start now. And its also their server so....

Which is exactly my point - they do not want to take responsibility for situation they set up and allowed to deteriorate over years. By their negligence, they encouraged the detrimental behavior of the players. Once again - this is not a democracy - they set the rules - they bare full responsibility of those rules or the lack of them.
My ultimate point is - is there is blame to assign - all 3 sides are responsible, each in their own way.
And yeah, everything said here is just an opinion [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Your statement could be easily mirrored and applied back to you. You realize that, right?

And "the fact is" that there weren't disputes like these in the past because this dispute is a product of their making by recently changing the system.

As for the car analogy, I may have left my windows down on my two porches in a crime-riddled neighborhood, but the robber didn't even need to break in or come through the windows because the dealership called him up and ended up handing him an extra set of keys to drive away in them clean and clear.

May have been an unwise initial decision to play two accounts on that eqemu, but it's a direct result of Rogean's change that resulted in my losses.
