A Word of Warning to the New (and Naive)

[chtulu]

simple way to prove your case without letting us know the gms name who responded. Take a screenshot of the post including gms reply and just blur his name out, duh.

If you can prove without a doubt that that account got banned because of me I will either rfund you in full or I will talk to the gm who banned you and clear it up. The only stuff I run during everquest is other games, other eqemulators, porn, itunes or anti virus software.

If it turns out to not be my fault then I want to take video of you sucking my d.

Furthermore, Ephi just told me that I got 'pinched' IN THE THREAD... In other words, he knows it wasn't my fault but the rules are in place for a reason. As of now all of my other accounts are still active. I have done nothing wrong. The necro is still active. That account has done nothing wrong. The only account with any issues is the one I purchased from you.

Sorry that the account you bought got banned, but in no way can I disagree with the GM's on the decision. You can say that you didn't know their policy on account trades, but it's clearly listed on the site and ignorance to the rules of the server (that is free mind you) is no excuse at all. You are able to play on this server by the good grace of the coders, devs, and GM's alone. I know right after it happens it's probably hard to see anything but your side of the situation, but hopefully in a week you'll realize why their policies are the way they are. If you still can't see their side after that time, perhaps this is not the right place for you.

But the bottom line is that I didn't do anything banworthy, and I was banned. I see the inherent issue with account trade. I get it.

However, its not bannable, and I was banned for something I didn't do that IS banworthy. Thats the problem.

Given how P1999 detects third-party program use, if the account was flagged odds are the program was in use. If the owner was concurrently running another eqemulator for a server that permits usage of that particular program, the account will get flagged on P1999.

----------------------

According to all discussion, you weren't personally banned. Rather, your contraband character that you obtained was banned. It sucks, but that's precisely the correct judgment call for a tainted account. Look at it the other way around; allowing exceptions based on change of ownership opens up an avenue to easily launder tainted accounts.

Worst case scenario here would be if Chtulu were using MQ2 on another server (not p99), got flagged on P99, sold the account because he legitimately wanted to, and then I got banned on accident.

That actually might be a possibility here, and if so, it really does make their system ridiculous, even for primary account holders.

Not accurate. The only accounts I ban are the ones where MQ2 attached itself to the p99 account (AKA, MQ2 was running specifically inside the p99 window).
