when dragons killed you, depending on the type of attack, they ATE you. then your naked ass went straight to the underworld, which was a bitch and took at least an hour to get out of

Yes free for all pvp with full loot can be fun.. the only problem is it has a very limited population.

and it usually ends up that the higher levels sit around and gank the lower levels till they give up and quit.

bottom line.. great if you get in at start... not so much if you dont and can't afford to spend 16 hours a day to stay on top.

Not that im against the ruleset... i just think if there was enough interest in those types of games.. things like rift would have done well.

I think it's a bad idea to out banned players. There are other reasons I can think of, but here are three for now:

1. I'm not sure that the current staff nor future staff here are 100% infallible. It would unfathomably unfair to those wrongly detected of cheating to have their reputations potentially ruined for all games forever -- and retroactively.

2. It gives staff here too much power to deliver retribution beyond the boundaries of this game. They seem like decent people, but will they always be? Are they completely beyond corruption?

3. The internet never forgets. Everyone makes mistakes in life. Most of us (in life) show the aptitude to learn from them. I think everyone deserves a chance at a clean slate.

Everyone who was caught cheating the last time around did get a second chance, to be caught cheating again is kinda losing my capacity for forgiveness.

I would't be bothered either way post the names or not. However it doesn't matter, that charecter is gone and won't be back so why the need to post? Unless you know that persons other Char. and want to shun them.

We played on GEnie. * of Kesmai wasn't the first of anything and certainly won't be the last although it was a great experience for us. Kesmai had many great titles and we remember them with fondness...

However, I do support your effort of calling out cheaters, but I question how effective it will be long term in dissuading others from doing likewise.
