Just for the record. TLDR, for sure, but for the sake of transparency, here it is. If this is gonna be a public shitshow, at least the data should be public. If you take the time to read it, look for tenor changes, threats, seller's remorse, and endgame play here. Also note the willingness to split the cleric back to him under the conditions that he offered.
Drowed (whom I believe is Bardalicious): 07-31-2014, 12:36 PM Hello. Me to Drowed (31 july, 01:43 PM) Yes, when I bought the account more than a year ago, the eqemulator credentials were included. I wouldn't buy an account that didn't have the credentials attached. I changed the eqemulator email and credentials the day I bought the account. It is now attached to my SMS info, too.Me to Drowed (31 july, 02:04 PM) Do you want access to that bard on red? I can surely give that to you.Drowed to me (31 July, 02:59 PM) (note no mention of the cleric here) Yes.. I realize it's a long shot but I do want the bard back. I know it may seem like a stupid thing to do, but when I sold Drowed to (redacted) originally we had an understanding that he wouldn't get access to the (bard account) login account. It remained safe and in my hands up until Rogean changed the login system by adding SMS linking and linking the accounts to P99 forum accounts.Me to Drowed (31 July, 03:03 PM) I understand 100000000000pct. It's an odd thing. Please tell me what pw you want for it and I'll change it immediately and give you my word I'll never log it in. You can check around on the server - I think I have a stellar reputation as being a straight shooter and trustworthy. And if you ever need to change it, you can get me at xxxxxx at gmail and I'll change it again to whatever you want. I'm thrilled someone is gonna use that bard.Me to Drowed (31 July, 03:15 PM) Gdi, since you sold it - not since I bought it.Drowed to me (31 July, 03:17 PM) (no mention of the cleric here) Aye, (redacted) bought it from me (I'm the original owner) then it got sold once more before going to you I think. Makes me glad to know that she's still being used because I miss playing her quite a bit and regret selling her!Me to Drowed (31 July, 03:32 PM) (I try to log into the account and he's managed to get the bard banned - had no idea that was his work at this time) HOLY COW the account is currently banned? Wow. Did you get in touch with CS already?Me to Drowed (31 July, 03:35 PM) Ah, okay - saw that a petition is in the works. Have Rogean contact me and I'll give my blessing for splitting it off. And you're welcome. We're all humans and if we can work shit out among us, all the better.Drowed to me (31 July, 3:36 PM) Well that's lovely...Me to Drowed (31 July, 03:40 PM) Well shoot...I guess it's still my account for the moment, technically - shame it got locked. I'll put in a petition, too - did you do it on the EMU forums or on the p99 forums? I want to do it in the same place and parallel your wishes.Drowed to me (31 July, 03:38 PM) (note that this is the first he realizes cleric pw changed - or even on the same emu??) WOAH WOAH WOAH... you're telling me you have access to (cleric account) as well now???? My CLERIC on blue too???Me to Drowed (31 July, 03:41 PM) Yep, epiced and purpled - lotta hours into that little one.Drowed to me (31 July, 03:48 PM) (odd shock here - told him in the first correspondence that I'd reset all 3 pws) You've got to be KIDDING me. That account was MINE as recent as 2 or 3 months ago, and was NEVER a part of any purchase you made from whoever sold you Drowed. You never thought anything of just taking the account without asking questions???Drowed to me (31 July, 03:50 PM) (7 years? more like 4 (born on: May 10, 2010)) I made (Cleric) as my first character on this server 7 years ago. I'm sorry, but I can't let that one fly...Me to Drowed (31 July, 03:52 PM) When you buy the account, you buy the emu, I think. At least that's how it worked on all the emus that I did buy when it was still legal. And that's how it's been working for other people, too.Drowed to me (31 July, 03:56 PM) You purchased an account that advertised a measly 52 necromancer with TD firepot bind. If the owner had access to either the bard or cleric accounts, logically, they would have mentioned something about it in the auction and charged far more for it...Drowed to me (31 July, 03:59 PM) Also, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that the bard account was banned due to my petition about it being stolen from me. It's not hard to imagine that the cleric will suffer the same fate now when I proceed with explaining to them that the same thing happened..Me to Drowed (31 July, 04:04 PM) All good - let's let them sort this out. And at the end of the day, I'm still willing to work with you on the bard. Same offer irrespective of how stupid the cleric thing gets (but maybe we can work something out there, too). But...I am 100pct operating under the assumption that when you buy an Emu, you buy the accounts associated with it.Me to Drowed (31 July, 04:09 PM) I *think* that they're gonna end up telling you that I bought the emu/credentials/accounts. If that's the case, we'll try to work something out between us.Drowed to me (31 July, 04:42 PM) (here he makes the offer to compensate for the time/stuff I put into the cleric - his initiative) Except that you didn't buy the cleric. You purchased the account under the impression that it came with a level 52 necromancer named (xxxxx), period.Me to Drowed (31 July, 04:46 PM) Now we're talking...as much as I don't want to lose the little guy, I'm not unreasonable on that end. Gah, I don't want to re-epic that guy. And I do understand the sentimental nature of the whole thing.Drowed to me (31 July, 05:05 PM) There's very little we can do to come to an agreement between us, because unless you're going to relinquish the eqemulator account to me, I'd have to wait to hear whether Rogean can transfer the characters off or move the login server accounts to a new eqemulator account.Me to Drowed (31 July, 05:13 PM) Not gonna lose access to (necro) in any case - gd, she was expensive. So I'm keeping the emu. Let's hope he'll split off the bard and we can work something out valuewise for what I've put into the cleric. And I don't blame you for regretting selling her. Tho I cannot play a necro to save my soul. But she's pulled TONS of corpses - and matched my firepot cleric in great ways for a lot of people. Drowed to me (31 July, 10:01 PM) (missed the value here by a mile - also we lost a year somewhere) The auction shows about 100kpp?? That's pretty cheap for a firepot bound necro. In any case, I'm not interested in Drowed. I have no claim to that account because I sold it. I want MY accounts back, because none of the sales, from the point at which she left my hands to the point at which she entered yours, did they ever include access to my other 2 accounts.Me to Drowed (31 July, 11:15 PM) So deru finally answered my side of the petition. He said we should work something out so we should. Bard is not in question. He hasn't gotten back to me about splitting off accts, but let's leave that as setteled (yours).Me to Drowed (31 July, 11:17 PM) Will be easy if they can split the 2 onto a different emu for you. And stealing is pretty harsh. I'd been given to understand that when you buy the emu, you buy what's there. There was no malice of forethought on my part. We can get this figured out...always have in EQ and other MMOs (and in life). Let's just keep pushing on it.Drowed to me (1 Aug, 01:19 AM) (now back to seven) What other word would you use to describe it? If someone managed to obtain your main accounts in the same way, 7 years after making them, spent a month worth of time on one of them then demanded compensation (compensation for the epic/levels that HE originally offered if he were able to ban the cleric) to return them, how would you feel? Because I've got to tell you buddy, I've got a knot in my stomach over the thought of losing 7 REAL LIFE years worth of casual gameplay due to a stupid change to the account management system.Me to Drowed: 1 Aug, 4:35 AM You're not backed into a corner at all. Are you even reading what I've written to you? I've not been a bit untruthful about anything anywhere. In fact, I feel like I've been trying to do right by you throughout this whole thing. Wonder if Deru is reading too fast? Drowed to me: 2 Aug, 2:25 PM (new message title "Heads Up") Just FYI I'm working 12 hour shifts all weekend, I won't really have the time to talk about this further til Monday. Though I don't see the point in making some static offer for compensation til we know if the GMs will even help split off the accounts .. And whether they ban it like they did the bard.Me to Drowed, 2 Aug, 2:35PM Yeah, for sure on the cleric thing. Btw, was your offer on the no-drops, levels. But...worst case - Me to Drowed 2 Aug, 3:38PM Oh, I've asked repeatedly to have the bard unbanned and have it given to you on another emu. They haven't banned (cleric) yet I don't think - but he's rather on ice for me anyway until this is worked out. And I agree - would make NO sense if you had to drive (cleric) on my emu with me changing the PW if needed. That would be just stupid. Might be our best play is a PL new cleric and name swap - that they might go for. And then just use the bard under the current emu (assuming we can get him unbanned) until rogean gets to the swapping? Drowed to me: 2 Aug, 6:08 PM (nowhere did I say he'd need to drive the PL-ee...offer was for me to do it in its entirety - also making a play at getting the emu back, which I cannot do given the current ruleset (and couldn't un-SMS it if I wanted to)) That would be like me saying well... I want the cleric account without paying, but you can make a new cleric and I'll get him an epic in about 4 weeks.Drowed to Me: 6 Aug 1:10 AM (now more threats threats) Well, the gms have stopped responding to me entirely, both via my petition and PMs so I'm guessing this is a win for you.Drowed to me 11 Aug 5:25 AM I've seen you online yet you haven't taken the time to reply to me.Me to Drowed: 11 Aug 5:30 AM Sorry. Very, very jammed up. Have a long reply in the works. That repop yesterday was painful, too.Then later yesterday he starts this shitshow (at a time at which, I suspect, he thought I wouldn't be able to respond). Finally, I even asked the staff to do this to take him out of the picture entirely - because I was getting nowhere with this guy (from my petition 1 Aug, 11:28AM) Are you able to move no-drops (epic & planar) and exp onto another toon? That would solve it w/o his intervention, I guess. I've wasted far too much time and sick guts on this already. It's really hard to negotiate with someone who has no desire to do anything but escalate things.I've got no idea what to do with this person. I'm not gonna give or sell him the necro back (which is what he's obviously angling for). I cannot get the cleric and bard split off. He doesn't want a replacement cleric. I'm at a loss.

On 2 Aug you wrote (PMs): Also, since you're adamant about getting compensation for your time invested on my cleric (inserted note: which was an offer you initially made by you to me on 31 July) , I assume that if the GMs do not help and you keep it that you'll be compensating me for my time on him, right? Seems fair to me!I replied on the same day a few hours later (more than a week ago): Yeah, for sure on the cleric thing. Btw, was your offer on the no-drops, levels. But...worst case -Just an outright lie.

This guy is just putting the blame on a bunch of people for his retarded decisions, don't think he realizes that 95% of people would instantly tell him to fuck off.
The fact you're offering him a complete replacement toon is beyond what most would do. | ||

Don't mind Bazia, he's clearly so disillusioned by red that he actually believes that the player base there is composed of normal people. So, I suppose his statement may ring true if we were talking PvP server players only being that 95%. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Pan, I really don't know how you think posting all of that could possibly make you look any better in all of this. Also, I screen capped my entire petition thread before deru deleted it. So if you really need me to discredit another one of your desperate attempts to undermine my intentions just to save face I sure can. Not once in my petition did I ever ask for access back to Drowed. Do I miss that character? Sure! Would I ever attempt some shady ploy to steal her back from the owner of that account? Nope. Only one of us fits that bill...

Can you just give him the password to cleric and bard...assuming he compensates you for your time? Sounds like he was going to compensate you for your time on the cleric.

GMs having no action after this dude is stealing accounts. Not surprised there. Just because there was a change in account recovery doesn't give this guy the right to change the password and play an account that isn't his. GMs should make special cases out of this SMS change because honestly it took way too many years to put this change in. Doesn't seem fair.
