Alright, so there are a few red flags here:

1) You went AFK for a long time with another player's items on you without warning them.

2) You don't remember his name, but you were close enough that he lent you the item and I assume he spammed you with tells while you were AFK.

3) He was online long enough to petition about you but he wasn't online when you got back?

Something seems off here...

I'm still in the same zone, have never left. I again start by shouting, /friends, and /petitioning for a GM to take this item from me. I have yet to see him again, and it is a sad state of the community to meme on me for this. I guess it is now my responsibility to spend my entire P99 career trying to get an FBSS back to someone who has seemingly little to no overlap with my playtime, or a friends group large enough to let him know. I'm just a guy who played EQ back in the day like you, and was glad to find a way to do that again. I had just had my first group after grinding solo in Kunark. I'm sorry that is troll bait to you.

I was not close with this person at all. He was in my group and I was doing my job well and he just seemed nice and prolly wanted me to be able to do more DPS. I remember being surprised he had one because he was a caster but said he was cleaning off his monk. I friended him after he traded it to me. I exclaimed how amazed I was. That was it. I'm really hoping that it was his name on my friends list, but I cannot be 100%.

I went AFK for a long time, that is the nature of playing in my 30s and not in my teens. Sometimes things take a while. In this case, it was pulling ribs out of the smoker and going to feed my dogs. I think I got sidetracked and went to bed, and continued my work schedule. I forgot about p99 for I think like two days, logged in the whole time. Didn't even know that was possible, but I remember coming back and being amazed the game was still on. I immediately began trying to contact my former group to track him down.

Maybe bad shit has happened to people in this forum a lot, and I understand having that perspective. But occasionally people aren't pieces of shit. I have nothing to gain here by telling this, as a GM unbanned me. If anything, you may have something to gain knowing that not everyone is guilty. Sometimes mistakes are made. This was one, and I am still trying to do what I can to make it right.

Regardless of whatever, if you want to go figure out who they are, just...go look it up? EQ saves literally all of your logs, it'll have timestamps of every line of text you've seen in the game.

Go to your p99 install directory, logs, character name log file, search for "flowing black silk sash" since it shows up when they put it in the trade window, and you'll know exactly who gave it to you.

I just tried this but the only thing in there is a file named dbg.txt and it is not very long. I don't see any text even from the group I was just in an hour ago. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. Honestly these forums are cruel, all I've wanted to do is whatever I can to do the right thing and I am just being shit on for it. This is awful, and probably why I was never really into forums before. Goddamnit why

I didn't think you needed to enable them, I don't ever recall updating my .ini file to start logging.

https://wiki.project1999.com/Logfiles

But maybe you do.

And people are being mean to you because this is every single "I got banned and I don't know why" post ever. It sounds like you've already been unbanned though. People here can't help you get unbanned so posts like this are pointless, just communicate to the GM's and they'll sort it out.

From their perspective: you took a valuable item from someone and did not return it, it's pretty irresponsible to take something like an FBSS and then just go AFK without returning it first, you somehow don't even have logs to demonstrate what happened, and you got banned probably for this event. Instead of being upset at them, you should understand what it looks like and acknowledge its incredibly suspect.

Good luck finding whoever gave it to you, though!

Cool

The whole story and backstory of the OP could easily be completely a fabrication LOL. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Like 20% of these forums live and breathe on strange creative types and heavily immersed forumquesters creating new personas and getting their chortles or self worth off of how long they can get a thread going back and forth based on total BS. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Often the total BS is believed by alot of you hook line and sinker so I admit sometimes its slightly amusing to see purely as an observer. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
