For the Love of God

So about 4 or 5 months ago I was killing Halfers in RiverVale, then went AFK in a safe spot in the zone to do some work....not afk camping. When i got back a few hours later, I was kicked to server screen and a message said i was banned....Ive posted probably 5 or 6 posts in the petition forum with in the last 4 to 5 months and have never gotten even ONE response....I know i didnt do anything wrong...never 2 boxed, duped or anything....If anyone could please help, my Character was named Gnoo if anyone still remembers him....
Thanks alot

[Nofogon]

If I were you I'd spam the GMs with private messages. They love that.

[Nofogon]

Ive posted there 4 or 5 times, no post has ever gotten a responce, i just figured id try something else....its weird, because ive never gotten a warning or anything....just came back from work and was banned. Is it against the rules to camp guards or to go afk for a while? thats all i can figure out.....I thought maybe someone would have some info to help me out

[Fourthmeal]

Were you two-boxing? BE HONEST!

[Nofogon]

Was going to offer words of inspiration but fourthmeal beat me to it.

Seriously though good luck.

I dunno if I'd hold out much hope, man. I apparently got banned sometime yesterday for a RMT transaction in which I did NOT engage. It's possible that one or more people are hacking accounts in order to use them to do RMT and avoid the ban on their own accounts. This evidently happened on my account entirely without my notice, so it could have been the case on yours, too.

If you really were just afk, then you shouldnt' be banned anyways as far as I understand. I believe the wording is something like: "afk camping is frowned upon, but not bannable. If you are caught you will be booted to char select."

So, the worst thing that could have happened if you were afk and looked to be afk camping is that you get booted.

Though, if you go afk with a pet up in a kos area, that's essentially afk camping.

Still, though, if what you're saying is true it sounds like you shouldn't be banned, regardless.

from what I read on eq2flames this sort of random bans is fairly commonplace. Just remember, this is an emulated server, don't expect the same level of service as eqlive - ie the people who run the server don't care about you. As they have indicated before - p1999 would continue development even if nobody played.

There are also enough diehard "need classic eq loot" fanbois vocal enough to trust/defend devs that gm decisions can not be contested by the community. It's just the facts of life.

EQ2 flames is probably not the best place to get your infos, the amount of douchebags there seems even bigger than in our R&F forum. Also p99 devs care more about us than live GMs ever did.

Everyone start spamming!

All's well that ends well.

Thought that was your little gnome last night that I had to buy bandages for. =) Glad you got your guy back. It made this new guy some moneys!

hoorah for justice!

No. His post in the petition forum is what worked. These will generally move you to the shit list regardless of the situation.

You can't just post in the petition forum and let it sit there. If you post there, bump the thread once every day or two. Posts fall back about 7 pages per day, and if ip exemptions got done that day, you can forget about it ever being found until it gets bumped.

And what he really means is, he's mad that he got banned for 2boxing, and is trying to troll from a new account so he isn't immediately discredited.

The irony is that while attempting to undermine the server, he's still playin... for now.

P.S. Sorry you went to all the trouble of getting a new IP address for nothing!

[Curmudgen]

thanks uthgaard for that advice about bumping the thread. I had a /surname request on there but was not sure if bumping it would be considered irritating or not to the GM's looking in that forum.
