I would be more worried about allowing the RMT'ers to post their transaction log on the forums. This only encourages more RMT when individuals can see the potential profits from selling plat/items.

Hahaha your sig is golden.

I saw the sweeping bans, and got a little nervous as I use a dynamic VPN with Astrill sometimes. I wasn't banned or anything, but are multiple IP logins per account the way these accounts are flagged? If so are VPNs then a false positive?

They won't get into the details. They know if a person has logged on an account or not.

Ban account sharing. Not classic.

Did not mean for it to sound like I am asking how they are doing their flagging, rather asking if they are taking into account people who use dynamic VPNs. Something like:
select acct_id, count(distinct login_ip) from accts group by acct_id
, then banning everyone above a certain threshold might be banning dynamic VPN people. While this should be pretty rare, just wanted to know if the consideration was made.

This would be interesting. Other than your RL friend or family, this is pretty true. If all bans were final if accessed by a person who hacked, that would be an interesting dynamic change.

It wasn't until PoP with its very unforgiving flagging system that people lent out their accounts so that they could get crucial flags. <3 your flagging buddy.

How is it not classic?

I played on my brothers account in Velious.

Indeed.

Wife played my account. I played hers.

Even close guildies played each others. My guild leader had his whole damn family in the guild, and would even multibox the various characters before Velious. Most of us knew each other for years before EQ and quite a few trusted each other with their pws, because if anything happened, we could always go over to their house and settle up.

The practice was certainly classic.

You definitely were not allowesd to share accounts even with a spouse. The ONLY time you were EVER supposed to share an account on live was if you were a parent/guardian letting their child play on their account as you had to be 18 to technically have your own.
