Haha by 'given plat' dude scammed it offering to trade red for blue. No RMT was involved. Whats funny is he got his account banned over 10k and then tried to run to the boards and throw himself at the mercy of the community like it would do anything. I wish his story would have included more details like the '2 brothers afk boxing' guy or any of the other dumbfucks that get caught being dumbfucks.

Wasn't pleading a story, its a level 10 character and can easily be made again, no worries on that.

And no, it wasn't an RMT - hence the post. I know the GM's wont unban the account because of what it looks like - a level 1 mule given a ton of plat, then logging off. I'm not dumb and I know the project99 staff isnt either.

What does my post history have anything to do with anything?

This thread wasn't a plead for the account to be reopen. Just looking to see if anyone else has heard of this happening, and it sounds like it has.

But I agree with most of you, sounds far fetched right? I'm still playing the game and not really worried about lost plat that wasn't even mine to begin with.

So, while i dont believe this guy at all... tons of people give away all their plat when they quit. Have had a couple friends do this over the years.. altho they did it in ec and just shouted out im giving away my stuff.

There has to be something suspicious about the transaction - namely, the mule was probably on an account that the GMs track and know is an RMTer.

Huge plat sums given to other characters with nothing else involved can not be uncommon. I can ask my real life friend in a text or over teamspeak to log in and give me 100k and we won't say anything in game. I would imagine there are hundreds of other people on project 1999 who can do the same thing. I don't know a single person who has had trouble with GMs for trading large amounts of plat or items.

Also, odds are your transaction was RMT (not accusing, just stating odds), but people do certainly give away money in EQ. On live, while sitting in EC, a guy randomly gave me 40k and a Red Dragonscale BP and logged. Good day. Have a friend who also was given 20k and assorted items by a guy quitting in EC tunnel here on P99. Which again leads me to believe his account was probably being tracked, and your trade was suspicious enough to warrant bans.

Few days ago last week I was given a large amount of plat by a random person in the NFP bank. Was on a noob character with no gear, who figures. The next day my account becomes banned. What are the possibilities?

GM's monitored the trade because it was such a large quantity, probably set off a red flag for an RMT? How is there ANYWAY to prove that this wasnt? The only words exchanged between me and the person that gave me the plat was (me) "Wow, thanks so much!" and the other guy talking about how he had to go quickly.

1) Are noobs not aloud to be given platinum? (large amounts)
2) Was this someone dumping off "illegal" scammed plat? RMT plat? How did I get the short end of the stick?
3) Only character on the account that I played was a low level monk with some hand me downs from a friend. I'd much rather not start over with a blank account - or is this my time to go red?
4) Im glad the GMs try to crack down so hard, but has this ever happened to anyone else??

You already have the answers that you seek.
