[Freakish]

I have 5 accounts right now. All of my own characters.
Friends in past guilds and current have asked me to log on their characters to accept rezzes, do ports or a myriad of other activities. Some of them transfers, sit in for exp or just got up and quit the game.
Just looking in my logs recently I have 14 accounts that I have logged into since the last time I restarted my computer (since my RamDisk resets my log files each time I restart, and I usually just hibernate it). From what I understand, any account that the guilty party has logged into has been blanket banned currently. If you can prove the account is yours and was not involved in RMT or duping, you can receive a reduced suspension.

Not gonna bash tmo, because they really do have people in the guild that are not jackasses but when your the HNIC on a server,no matter how cool u are with people your gonna get shit for everything,Its part of the MMO life

im not gonna bash them either, I want them to prove through ip address logs that the 86 accounts didnt belong to the cheaters.

My fave kind of response to this kind of shit, are people who claim the suspect players are "great people," or "always are there to help."

Such individuals do not know how a confidence game works.

Bernie Madoff gave millions to charity.

And Bernie Madoff, I hear, also was "always online."

It is kind of sad to realize, TMO is mostly foolish children who are easily taken in.

Look, I am sorry your mommy didn't hug you enough. Take it elsewhere.

thanks rogean for the completely unprofessional approach to this situation. Maybe you should make it a bit more clear that it was not 86 cheating members, but rather massive collateral damage being dealt because people at one time or another trusted someone who happened to be cheating.

Because 2 people knowing about an exploit and not sharing it with other people is completely believable. Now no one is saying all 86 accounts are guilty. But trying to say no one in the guild but those 2 knew is seriously failed logic. If Froovy was a great guy with lots of friends... Why would he share his exploit with just 1 single person ? See your own argument for why he had access to those accounts is also working against you here.

"He's so helpful"

"He is a great guy"

"He spent lots of time online tracking"

According to you and your members this was a guy that was nice and helpful.. Yet you guys then turn around and say that when your "Friend" found an exploit he only told one solitary single person to help him use it. See how that argument makes no sense at all to anyone that is keeping up with this ? You guys all trusted him with your accounts... But he wouldn't in turn trust you guys with an exploit he was getting away with until today ?

Raid Scene
It continues to be an aggravating realization among CSR staff that 10% of the server population causes 90% of the problems. We are all for competition, but it needs to be fair competition. We are also all here for the same thing, to experience classic Everquest. The same guild monopolizing raid content for 2 years that they might not even need anymore is ridiculous, just to block other guilds from the chance of gearing up to take on the same end game content.

I was thinking to myself the other day and I came to ask myself.. Are we providing this server to give people the arena to compete to such bitter extremes that it has resorted to taking every absolute measure to be victorious, or are we here to provide a classic Everquest experience for everyone to enjoy?

A lot of you make fun of it in your own terms, but it really does come down to fighting over very old content.

Either way, we're tired of the constant bickering, the training, the ninja looting, and all the other bullshit that's going on. So here's what we're going to do.

Starting today and then evaluated when Velious is released the CSR staff will be keeping track of how the raid guilds are treating eachother. If we do not see a significant improvement in the behavior of the raiding guilds and how they treat eachother, Velious will be released without raid content. To be clear, we want an enjoyable raid scene for everyone, not just one or two guilds. This means working together to figure out a compromise when racing for mobs, and working with smaller guilds to let them have a chance at mobs you don't absolutely need for gearing main characters.

Don't think that this means you can continue shitting on each other and just not petition, the staff will still be watching.

I would like to request the complete removal of RnF. It contributes just as much to the shit show. If people want to rant and flame let them do it on their guild forums. Maybe we could make and poll.

Thank you for the completely fair approach to this situation. You were clear that 86 of the 100+ accounts used to cheat were from a single guild, and that the account owners themselves were not necessarily cheating. You made it clear that the rule is that you are responsible for who you let onto your account, and so the actions against the accounts, rather than the players, are justified. You dealt massive collateral damage because people at one time or another trusted someone with their account who they shouldn't have, and that is entirely fair. Those who did this, but were not necessarily involved are being treated leniently, and they, as well as everyone else, will be more careful in who they share their account with in the future.

Thanks STAFF! Is a great day for P99! The people of Qeynos thank you!

I am not in TMO at all , nor affiliated with TMO in any aspect . My account was banned because one of the people listed took my char while I was at work to get a peggy cloak.

**I think **
Could have been another reason i.e. I used to sell in the tunnel and I could have sold a duped item..

I won't know until I get the chance to speak to a GM.

I met a guy and talked to him in RL and developed a friendship I was never hardcore enough to get to 60 so I never tried to join TMO.

I hope it all gets sorted out ... but as many have stated I am responsible because I gave my account info.


I will let you guys know how it shames out.
