I am satisfied with the original punishment given out to the first 365 offenders (sorry Skope). It was obviously a wide spread issue and banning 365 accounts off the bat could of been very bad for the servers health.

now Rogean is breaking out the ban hammer for the true knuckle heads.
That s bullshit and you know it, They need to be perma-banned just like many others were and reroll a new account if they want to try again. Why should the rules be bent for them?

Because there is 365 of them, which is a huge portion of active accounts. There's only a 600-800 accounts logged in any given night. I could see why Nilbog and Rogean would be hesitant to just cut off that much of the servers population, don't you?

I said i was satisfied with the punishment. I wouldn't mind seeing them stripped of all their loot as well as Klaatu has proposed but i'm not going to go ape shit on Rogean and Nilbog for comming to a conclusion I could only assume had the servers best intentions in mind.

Your satisfied with the judgement because nothing has ever happen with your account. I am very sure you would feel different if it had effect you and you were perma banned while ours were slapped on the wrist.

I don't cheat though so I don't have to worry about being perma banned or being slapped on the wrist.

It's amazing how many people recently quit but are still here bitching about a server they don't actually play on.

This server has become a cesspool of the most ungrateful people I've ever encountered.

Pretty much. I was updated on some happenings on the server and came back to look at wtf it's become. Saw this thread. Saw a few more threads. Saw some RnF threads.

Lol. It's no wonder the famous Crow, original leader IB, had quit over the community.

Even if I thought of coming back for lolz, I won't know. Have fun P99, Red99 would have been cool, but will probably suffer from the same shit.

My god you people are ungrateful pieces of shit. The people that run this server need to just fucking delete people's accounts.

And for the record, Xzerion is the fucking man. You dipshits need to stfu if you don't want to lose more developers.

For the rest of the people that haven't been complaining and have been enjoying the server, have a nice day! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I'm thinking that reviewing each of the 365 accounts prior to banning, suspension, etc. would have been a staggering amount of work. Uthgaard posted about this practice shortly before resigning. Apparently, bans were not always handed out No Questions Asked, and some people who were honest and apologetic about their offense were given second chances prior to this episode.

spud, if people are going to cheat on p99 by duping, SEQ/MQ it was always with the understanding that if caught, their bans would be permanent. No exceptions. You don't back down when 365 dickheads are caught in a net in one fell swoop and then pussy out because that's a really really big number.

Instead of purging the server of a massive number of people who'd thought they could take advantage you've given them a slap on the wrist and then welcomed them back. I've said this before, with the current punishment handed out to those original 365 accounts it actually paid off to cheat here for approximately 2 years. The argument that the new .dll file will mean this server is cleaner than fippy is all fine and dandy, but what the hell happened to the last ~2 years? with that ruling, i was asked, as well as the rest of the server, to forget about what happened before and to somehow excuse them because the GMs excused them. No thanks, i'd rather quit. i'm not playing on a server where the GMs are gonna be bossed around and bend in the severity of punishments because of mere numbers. It's your sandbox and it's your rules, but the way you apply them is ass backwards and that's not something that i want to be a part of or ever look forward to. Will it hurt the server by decreasing population? yes, but i'm pretty sure we can do without them. The point that you're missing is that this approach hurts the population even further when you consider how fucking stupid and ill-informed it was. A lot of people have quit a long time ago partly because they knew how bad it was and when it was finally addressed the GMs balked, and i'm sure i'm not the only one who thinks that this was too much to swallow.

If you don't agree with a GMs decisions you can bitch and moan, you can present your case and hope they'll see it. but when they let off 365 people they ask you, by continuing to play here, that you be just as forgiving. No. I quit

365 less people = less ad clicks = less server profit.

derp.

it isn't 365 people. ACCOUNTS DO NOT = PEOPLE.


Its more likely closer to 100 people maybe 150. Most of those are probably ones that didn't do anything with the program because they play EZ server and messed up switching servers.

Prolly anywhere between 50-80 people that actually would be lost due to them getting banned that actually cheated. How many cheaters do you expect to actually click a banner ad as well? Knowing that they could get banned at any time.
