Edit: That's what he meant by 'find you and your perty mouth' in his broadcast. :)

I very much enjoy seeing scammers and hackers get what they deserve.

Haha, I just warned some guy today who I heard had been scamming people.

[Kamasu-WV]

Lyssia was one of the ppl stealin shit? I just saw her in seb yesterday

[Bungo]

Coming from a new player's perspective it sure is nice to see that the staff here handles scammers.

+1 to Uthgaard for laying the smack down.

[Spud]

Uthgaard is vigilant even on Jesus day.

[Ingrum]

Definitely some serious Winning! going on here.

Seems like Uthgaard had his daily recommended dose of Tiger Blood this morning.

Good work gumshoe! Uthgaard is on the case!

[Mcbard]

This makes me happy.

Is there something we can do to better protect ourselves from this? Just don't share account login info, etc?

Make ACTUAL passwords instead of 123456....


Don't let anyone use your account...its your account, your time, your effort. The risk of someone ruining all that you've done is too high.


Don't be dumb.

You ask an awful lot.

On live I was a guide and when we found out that someone had shared their account with someone, we would add a soul mark with that info (permanent record on the account). If their account got "hacked" and stuff was lost etc. It was their own fault and would not be reimbursed.
Sharing accounts is always a bad, bad, bad idea. As is the case with all passwords, keep it complex and don't use the same password everywhere.

Who are the people that are buying Plat with RMT that makes people do this? Its a game. Play the game. If someone has this much extra cash to be spending it on plat, they should really be donating it to the server fund, not the people hacking and trying to crap it up.

Plenty of people have boatloads of cash in the world. This is nothing new.

[Pescador]

Awesome. All the scammers and RMTers out there deserve this!

[Gorgetrapper]

That OR they'd rather pay for this game, back in the old world state, than any current MMO because they're all pretty much garbage.

I mean fuck, if I had the extra cash to be able to throw around to donate or even have a paid subscription to this server I would.

I guess you're right. Really, really pathetic people can have cash too. Its just sad because they're hurting the server they're trying to be all 'badass' on with their RMT Plat. I just don't get it and never will.

[Splooie]

Wow, that is some serious entitlement. Play on a free server, talk shit to those who make it free, and then break their rules.

[Zephys]

Easter smackdown?

I approve.

On live, they had (not sure if they have it anymore) a prompt if your account was logged into unsuccessfully before your successful login attempt. Any chance something like this could be implemented to kind of give us a heads up?

Something like (after you successfully log in): There have been 546 unsuccessful login attempts

[Mcbard]

Perhaps my login username shouldn't be my characters name and my password a simple dictionary word easily brute forced?? Who would have thunk?! ;)

Edit: I made this post in jest and then remembered all of the people who can't solve Windows permission problems and post about how they can't copy an updated spell file to their EverQuest directory.

[xshayla701]

HEY. you shut up. it was confusing at first OKAY???

People are selfish heh. Why donate when they can get themselves a manastone to enjoy.

I don't agree that they're pathetic. Some folks work 40-60 hours a week and would prefer to buy a character/currency/items in a game because they don't have the time to level or farm as someone who is unemployed would. While I don't agree with RMT on this server because it would shut it down, it doesn't have such a negative connotation outside of this community. Go check out the DDO store.

[lanystvyl]

great job Uthgaard.

The game is what it is. It's meant to be played in the absence of outside monetary influence. Some people just can't stand to not be able to play any game they want any way they want. If the only way they can play such a game is by breaking the rules, then they need to simply accept the fact that this game is just not an option for them. There's nothing wrong with that. I'd like to collect vintage automobiles, but I'd have to rob banks to do that, so I won't be collecting vintage automobiles. Simple as that.

Calling them "pathetic" is being kind, IMO.

That's a pretty fail analogy.

Wow such a shame to see Lyssia get banned. I created and leveled that toon a year or so ago and sold it through bob. Guess whoever it was that bought it couldnt handle the power of a Enchantress and decided to throw it all away scamming others :o(
