Apologize to someone you dicked over on Live!

[drktmplr12]

My cousin had just started playing. I had a halfling warrior, he had a rogue.

I was killing orcs in crushbone and convinced him to come from misty thicket. I found group out front before he got there and a spot never opened for him. He stayed there with us for the better half of the day just killing mobs with the group and not getting any xp. I leveled twice while he was just providing free dps. We were level 6-9 around that time.

I still feel bad about it..

edit: i actually don't feel bad:

During SoL, he had sold his end game monk for 800 dollars. He was completely geared out in vex thal and ssra stuff, all avatar'd out with prenerf sleeper weapons.

Since he knew that accounts info couldn't be changed, he accepted the paypal transfer and then took the account back after 1 month. He never did get in trouble for it.

To all the people I scammed in Faymart, sorry. I used to put cloth gloves aquired in BB up as some other item, same with FBSS and a slew of other items that shared their graphics.

To my cleric friend that loaned me 1k right before I quit my Paladin Martimus, sorry.

To that fker necro that stole my rogue Gardur Bakk's account, thanks. You saved me from wasting my early teens on EQ. I quit after that.

I once lent a friend who was new to the game some gear, nothing huge but I expected to get it back at some point. I came back an hour later and found he had traded a lammy for a blade of passage - I was not pleased.

Fast forward a few years, this same friend had acquired a high level cleric account that he mained and I had access to for rezzing purposes. Time for some revenge.

I first logged him out at the top of the PoK elevator and bound him in some inconvenient spot. He logged in, died, went back and rezzed himself and went on with his day. I was really unsatisfied with this outcome so I thought up another scheme.

After some planning I ran his toon to the farthest corner of Iceclad and bound him at the bottom of the ocean there. I then ran him over to a slightly more convenient area and logged him there, underwater, at 5% health with only a sliver left on his breath bar and completely out of mana.

I then enjoyed many lulz when he logged in, freaked out but managed to not die - sent me many rage filled tells about how I'm an asshole but my plan ultimately didn't work. And then sent me many more, entirely more rage filled tells when he cast gate and ended up as far from the Eastern Waste zone as he could be, instead of nestled neatly in the Plane of Knowledge.

I never did tell him why I did that hateful shit. Justice was served - I'm not sorry at all.

I lent a fairly long time friend my Ton Po's Bo Stick of Understanding to level up his monk with, but before he even hit lvl50 he found Jesus and never returned. After recovering from the massive trauma to my hand, and the patching of up several holes in the dry wall, I drank some juice and grabbed my cell phone. This was back in 2001 or so. I gave Satan a ring and asked for the soul of the guys firstborn child as reparations... kind of feel bad about it. Maybe I should give him visitation rights one weekend a month and every other holiday?

I think I lost 3-4 SoDs the same way. What the fuck is wrong with me?

Lron is looking for love here. He may find more than he bargained for.
LOL.

I'm Sorry for...

Asking people to show me their gear and then stealing it when it drops on the ground because they didn't have enough bag slots.

Training noobs in EC with FD (don't feel sorry about this actually)

Promising a Cleric that my guild would get him his epic if he gave me his info to play the toon, stripping his toon and selling all his shit then selling his account.

My bad bro's...

I used to log on my friends high level druid and sell pl service. I would get paid then log out. He got a lot of angry tells.

I was like 12 or 13, and didn't have a grasp on morals yet.

Are you saying you did not know stealing is wrong at 12 years of age? GTFO

Back in 2001-2002 or so when I was around 14 and towards the end of playing EQ seriously. I went through all the server forums and searched for people who posted their yahoo email. Then I would compile a list of those emails and use a cracker to gain access to their yahoo accounts. I would figure out their birthday through other accounts linked to their email and use for the forgot password option on the station website. Thus accessing their Everquest accounts. Although many used the same password and similar usernames for EQ.

All of the accounts I gained access to were lvl 60's. Many of them had fungi's and top items etc. Some of the accounts I did nothing with. A few I think I stripped sold stuff and then traded for items/pp or accounts on other servers to leave no trail of myself on that specific server.

One interesting experience happened because of this. A woman messaged me when I was on her main character. She was part of one of the top guilds on the server. She actually genuinely thanked me for gaining access to her account. She said that she had been addicted to EQ for a long time and by having her account taken away. Made her step back and look at her life and decided to make changes. I never did anything with her character and I think eventually she got it back because I lost interest or I may have given it back. Hard to remember everything.

Web security was not great back then. Basically I would leave the website open to the page where you can change your password for the account. Then I would open EQ login and see if customer service changed the password and many times they did even when I was on the character. All I would do is change it again via their website that I already had open. The lady remarked to me that customer service didn't understand how I kept changing it over and over. Which I was surprised that method even worked at all considering how simple it was.

I'm pretty sure everyone was reimbursed eventually since I only did this for a short time period and I didn't try to keep up with all the accounts I had access to. As well as losing interest in playing EQ.

I would never do that today and I understand how much time people put into their characters. I never did anything like that after those incidents either. Most of the time I give away stuff now to compensate.

I didn't see any posts where someone killed another person and took a quest item off them.
