Trading Accounts Not worth it, lost my existence on P1999

cheers,

and to Ambrotos, what messages are you speaking of?

the trade for the warrior was done all via messages in game with Hungfuu.

hungfuu seems to be under some heat lately and he actually told me he took screenshots of the initial trade with buyzandsellz guy for the warrior.

so before you go waving your giant e-penis around maybe you should ask for more info instead of assuming?

haha come again?

A few things to note here:

1. It IS fun to play a twinked out warrior. You had a character that could camp / earn plat enough to do it without selling an account. Instead you took the quick, easy, and might I add, shady path of doing accout trades. The amount of free time you have is irrelevant, really. Ya shoulda played while you could and earned what you got legitimately. Then we'd not even be here.

2. It's not Hungfuu's responsibility to come and back you Here. I bet he's even under scrutiny at this very moment.

3. Getting snarky with staff is a sure fire way to not get what you are looking for.

IMO you're Damned shady, and deserve all that's come to you.

Ok cool, I'm glad you think so [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Hope you have a good day!

EDIT: In all honesty the reaction of the players, being legitimately happy at the loss of others is disgusting to me. I'm done defending myself. I made a stupid mistake and traded characters repeatedly and got what I had coming. This isn't a thread to beg for your sorrows. This thread was aimed at warning players not to trade their characters and to learn from my mistake. I also wanted to enforce that character trades should be banned if this is how they are handled.

To Ambrotos

I clearly posted the thread before the GMs replied, and then after the GMs replied I posted this,

"You know, I really never thought about the idea of a level 33 warrior being a sketch account. All the characters I've bought have had good reputation and I wasnn't worried about a low level warrior being some 'shady' account. The GMs said they will look into it more thoroughly and see if they can definitively prove I was not the owner in march. Guess I'll keep my fingers crossed."

Sounds like I definitely left out tons of information.

What's the point of posting in a thread without reading the entire thing? Just to be an asshole and try and make me look bad?

Cheers bud

There is no point in arguing with the Staff in a public forum. Doing that is basically equivalent to the GIF below. I think the point Ambrotos was making was that you didn't include the entire petition exchange with Ephi; you didn't include a few of his responses. Also, the information Ambrotos was referring to was stuff you sent to them (which apparently was nothing) not some post you made about not thinking of a level 33 account "shady". I am not sure how you think that quote is providing anything useful to the GMs in confirming your accounts legitimacy.

It sucks that you lost all of the stuff that you earned while playing p99. If character buying/selling/trading is allowed, I think there should be some sort of 10k option to verify a clean past with the GMs.

It would be nice if I can get the items off the account as I'm sure you can look back and check the IP logs or the email change as I've only had the account for a week and see what the behavior the got the account banned was for.

Looks like I lost all my hard earned stuff even though the character was banned. Would make sense to give me my items I had and moved onto the illegal character, we will see what the GMs say.

What's the point of having account sales if they can cause me to lose all my hard earned stuff. I traded my epic shaman for a CoF + the 33 Warrior. I also moved my fungi over onto the warrior. Now I lose all my stuff and the character because some guy that owned the character 2 times before me got banned?

It wasn't even the guy I bought it from that was sketch it was the guy before him. And I'm punished?

Meh, if I don't get at least the gear back I'll be calling it quits.

Though the title is a good PSA for all those out there selling and buying accounts, these quotes really show what your true intention is... to try and get your stuff back out of a situation you got yourself into in the first place. It's truly hard to have pity on someone who was engaging in non-sanctioned activites and then got burned. It's also hard to trust what thier true intentions are.

This can all be turned around. You basically have a clean slate now. Re-roll if you want from the beginning. Don't sell your account this time. You might find it enjoyable [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Chanter>joined march? 2013?

[chantersale]

joppykid, that is because the post I made was before the GMs responded. Then I further added that the GMs are looking into it and will let me know. Which is exactly what they said. Sorry that I didn't supply an exact quote like I did in the original post.

In addition, I have no proof of the sale so there is nothing to post. The GMs have access to IP logs and hopefully they can see that it wasn't me.

Furthermore, Hungfuu doesn't owe me anything but he is actually a nice guy and even said he will set me up with some stuff if the GMs don't fix this. I'll see if I can get him to throw up the screen shots of his original transaction.

Yeah of course I'm upset and wish I didn't lose 250K+ worth of items lol... Clearly this thread is about me being upset. At the same time I'd like to save people from the annoyance of losing their accounts like I did.

I really don't have time to play the game like I did before but it is a shame to see my hard work go.

To defend my 'hard work' Yes I leveled a Druid to level 55 then traded and traded more.

This is my final post, hope all turns out well and if not hope I saved at least one person from this same situation.

I like this idea! Charge a Percentage say...25% of the sale price that goes to the gm's and they take it out of circulation.

would take A LOT of plat of the server
