Mythoxxus was the first level 50 bard on the server as well.

Kind of crazy to see an account like that be gone forever.

and yet never even reached 60 [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

She's too soft. Sick Barbara Walters on him.

Really though, I'd like to understand who owned Napkin a month ago.

I was thinking more along the lines of stripping down all of the implicated accounts and spread the really sweet gear around (including no-drop artifacts and such) via some extra GM events... but definitely delete the plat.

Otherwise, you may just be putting it into the hands of the people who get banned in the next big dramatic crime story.

Yea I just feel like there should be something done to prevent (3?) of the servers assumed to be dozen or so pre nerf fungi's from being gone forever because of RMT bullshit. Even the manastones, given there are more around, sucks to see an item that no longer drops have less in circulation due to a banned account having horded a bunch.

It does suck but there have been a lot of accounts banned many of them with guised characters etc. shame to lose them but thats the owners choice.

theoretically if someone wanted they could buy every manastone in game then delete them just for the sake of it, cant really ask the gm's to reimburse the server even though it would suck...

As much as I'd like to see a police auction (there's a good plat sink for you), it is rather classic to have items like these become rarer and rarer as time goes by.

Also, mega lulz at OP's justification for creeping.

I actually asked sirken a while ago about buying confiscated items and he kinda avoided the question, but maybe it's time to do something about it. Especially since by definition its the really rare items that the RMTers go after.

Also Stabbyjoe: making yourself out to be the good guy here is ludicrous. You stole items from a friend who trusted you. You then went nuts trying to buy up a few awesome accounts and you would have succeeded if you weren't such a compulsive account thief that you just had to try to hack the emu password. Nord was simply trying to profit off your pixel orgasm. Which he would have done if he had been slightly more careful in his password selection, and as is he still picked up one of the best items in the game. So I'm pretty sure he's not the loser here.

GM's have in the past distributed plat from RMT accounts to the server. When Alovia was in the arena and everyone had to kill her, I believe she handed out plat that from recovered from RMT. So to say it wont happen again isn't true. As far as the items, I'm sure it's something they could do if they wanted, but a the same time some of the items need to be investigated to see if they were duped or not. GM's will not give away duped items on the server.

Concerning Stabbyjoe / hellowelfare678 ...He offered allot of plat for some nice accounts which now in turn made people believe they could really get that for their accounts. I was told to "Name my price" with my druid account so he set the bar really high, in term making other people discouraged to place a bid. He hurt the server by taking what was already a bad thing and making it worse using the plat for self gain. I'm glad he is gone from the server and it would have really sucked to see my druid get banned as well if he would have bought it.
