Its more likely closer to 100 people maybe 150. Most of those are probably ones that didn't do anything with the program because they place EZ server and messed up switching servers.

Prolly anywhere between 50-80 people that actually would be lost due to them getting banned that actually cheated. How many cheaters do you expect to actually click a banner ad as well? Knowing that they could get banned at any time.

The number really isn't the issue - think ya kinda missed the point.

Statistically, they'd lose money if they banned that many accounts.

The number is the issue, that's why they didn't ban them in the first place.

365 less people = less ad clicks = less server profit.

derp.

if it's about ad revenue then why ban anyone at all? ever? they're all potential and can chip in to the server funds.

I agree Messianic, this is server chat, not R & F. There has been some good legitmate arguing going on here, lets try to keep the flaming to a minimal at least, if we can't stop ranting. Anyway this is a very touchy subject. The rules stated are clear as previously posted, but on the other hand, as Rogean previously posted, 365 accounts are just too many to throw away. A middle ground had to be decided apon. A 2 week suspension plus the deleveling and stripping of coin is is a fairly harsh punishment. That being said I can also sympthise with the arguements that the possibility exists these people may or may not have been cheating for the better part of 2 years and aquired pleanty of gear using these cheats. What it boils down to is it is not our decision to make, as Rogean has said before, the development team doesn't answer to us, although many would beg to differ at this point.

this pendulum swings both ways. if you disagree with the staffs decision and they won't budge then you always have the option to consider whether or not you've had enough. if you need the other side to this argument then just look back on this thread as there really isn't much left to say that hasn't been said. this isn't the first time i think they've gone wrong, but the others weren't game-breaking, this on the other hand i feel really is.

there are always 2 decisions here, theirs and then yours. the notion they don't care about whether or not people will play here is utter BS and though nilb0g may actually adhere to that quite firmly, i don't think rogean does.

I agree that the development team probably should of stuck to their guns and permanently banned the accounts that were hacking as stated in the rules. The decision would not have effected me one iota. If you don't want to play on the server anymore you don't have to, I for one still enjoy playing, and am going to continue to play regardless of how the development team may or may have mishandled this for lack of a better word "fiasco." As always these are just the opinions of one anonymous person over the internet, and I don't know if we ever ended up grouping together Skope but I would have enjoyed meeting and playing with you in game, because I only play for the nostalgia and social aspect of EQ, not the raiding aspect.

Mad props to Rogean, Nilbog, Uthgaard, and the rest for this server, I was unimployed for 8 months and this server kept me from doing self destructive things during that time, I appreciate you all more than you can know.

Don't worry you didn't miss much.

JK... Skope was a great necro/wiz/mage/shaman/guild mate.

hey Skopery why don't you come back now that Rogean is handing out the bannings?

because they're not handing out the bannings. they're permabanning the people caught after 365 special cases.

What ever happened to Nynn btw? I levelled up Find with her almost all the way to level 50 then she joined Divinity, and quit shortly afterwards. I know it had nothing to do with the guild b/c Divinity is awesome, but I thought perhaps you all knew/heard something.
