Because some people are just douchebags.

So what you are really asking for here is for the Developers, and GMs to spell out every rule for you on the server. They are trying not to make the server a police state, but its apparent they will if need be. They are trying to give people the freedom to do the right thing on their own. Your parents shouldn't have to tell you dont cheat, dont lie, dont steal, dont run a red light, don't hit the dog, dont push your sister down a flight of stairs.... You just know they are wrong by the nature of them. And if for some reason you have accidentally broken a rule because you didnt know any better, or nobody told you, accept it, suck it up and stop whining. You aren't going to die because you cant have the surname you want, if its that big of a blow to your ego, maybe you should have considered that before you started playing.... A GAME....

Tone down on the caffiene intake maybe? My surname wasn't cheating, lying, stealing, running a red light, hitting a dog, or pushing my sister down a flight of stairs. And if you need a broader explanation, in no way illegal, immoral, or wrong. So chill out, because it's not about how I was raised or common sense. Further, I wasn't the only one it happened to, nor the only one confused by it. I'm not angry at the GMs, just curious why it happened and when I looked for reasoning I found none. So in that respect, it just seemed pointless. It is what it is, and I'll live. I just wanted to point out that yes, sometimes things happen that you'd like an explanation for (per the original posters complaint). Reading comprehension = lower blood pressure.

And if I may put my 2 cents in... is playing a mage really giving you that much trouble to begin with? I see mages constantly soloing things at lower levels than I am, that I'd need a healer to safely grind on. Are you really craving further advantage, aside from being the most overpowered soloer in the game at the moment?

Seeing as this is a private server which you're not paying for and the admins can ban you at any time for whatever they like, why would you ever willingly do something you know is frowned upon?

While I think afk levelers should be banned, I'm sick of this argument. It is a private server, but we ARE paying for it. We donate to keep it open. To say we nobody should have any say in how things are run because we don't pay is preposterous. It's kept open by the player base.

Anyway, small tangent. Carry on with flaming the OP.

Protip: Don't put afk tag up, you were drinking and passed out. Right on top of travis two-tone spawn.

So, which member of Crash are you, Wooly?

I don't understand all the QQing about afk leveling. So some magicians want to make exp while they sleep... oh noes that hurts other players so much, oh wait.

The deal is that afk leveling takes research, often trial and error, and the benefits aren't that great. You don't make exp that quickly, you get no skill raises, and you get no money or loot. Plus afk levelers can be seriously screwed by other players.

In the end it takes a time investment to setup, doesn't reward the player with all the much, has risks attached, and doesn't negatively impact others. So i think people need to stop whining about afk leveling...

It's part of the classic experience... If this project was classic++ where we model classic and fix all the problems I would say ok, lets look at banning it. But this is supposed to be as close the the true classic experience as possible.

Looks like everyone disagrees with you, sorry.

"But this is suppose to be as close the the true classic experience as possible."

That simple phrase that you yourself wrote (and that, well fuck, everybody else knows) says that it will be as close to classic as possible...BUT NOT CLASSIC itself. Just because we want to relive the old days does not mean we want the same shit-brained flaws as before, the same dumbass glitches and bugs, and the same mindless wastes. We want this server to simulate classic, but with minor fixes and changes that make it more enjoyable.

Afk leveling is stupid, as i stated before..if someone wants to sit and watch themself level up over night, they can go play silkroad and get out.
