I can see not doing an ip ban, sort of.

But why such a lienient punishment? Just coin and a couple levels? Even item wiping seems a little soft.

Should have done a complete character wipe. Let them start over at lvl 1 with a practice sword. Make them think twice about firing up that macroquest zone map.

right? why not perm bans, as per the rules of the server?

so what, the server loses that many accounts. according to posts i've seen since i've been playing, the devs have stated many times that they would have this server up if only 5 people played on it.

so why do they care if the server population takes a hit? why do these people get a pass?

we can only assume that many of the players caught are in raiding guilds, and god knows we can't mess with the raiding guilds!

IMO the price of manastones is being driven up mostly because of the servers age and the people constantly reselling them.. They will only get more expensive as more plat is introduced to the server it's just the way it goes. I don't know when you started on Live but at least on my server it was exactly the same. If you came after kunark you were going to have to put in an outrageous amount of work to get a manastone.

Harrison, I'm not defending the actions of hackers they did what they did and they got punished that's what matters. However someone needs to separate the facts from the bullshit. It seemed to me that most of the people posting in outrage about this didn't really have the full picture. I thought I'd be able to help with that. I have absolutely no sympathy for em, they knew what they were doing could get them banned and they got off easy. It takes a lot less balls to jump on the bandwagon.

The funny thing is of the 365 suspended, at least 30 of them will probably end up getting banned (Probably permanently this time) within their first few weeks back when they attempt to use cheats to recover levels/money lost.

There's a lot of stupid arguing going on in this thread.

It boils down to this folks, It doesn't matter what advantage it gave them, even the slightest of advantages. The devs provide a wonderful free service for all of us. All they ask is return is not to break some very simple easy rules to follow, and don't cheat.

Even still these clowns decided to spit in their faces by cheating anyways. For that they deserve a permanent banhammer rammed up their asses. They were let off too easy.

That being said, I respect Rogean's decision regardless.

I've got to agree with removing all of their gear. deleveling to 54 along with losing platinum isn't much of a slap on the wrist. It will take most of them a week to get 60 and then it will all happen again

Have to admit the leniency of the punishment kinda makes me not want to play. Alot were cheating for ages, we knew they were cheating, you could complain, but you could never prove.
