I remember when Kluwen RMT'd and over 500 accounts got banned, and then almost all of them were unbanned. The tactic that Braknar used back then was to nuke every account that Kluwen ever logged into, including my own, and then unban anybody that petitioned that either 1) didn't have any RMT looking transaction whatsoever, or 2) were able to prove that an RMT-looking trade or transfer was not actual RMT. Almost all of the 500 accounts were unbanned.

I don't know if Llandris learned from what Braknar discovered was a massive headache and was more careful about 110 accounts he banned. If not, he is likely in the middle of unbanning dozens of accounts.

Does that mean the innocents that got caught up in a blanket banning didn't have incentive? Personally I don't, but I would be willing to bet that most p99ers could use the cash that they would net from RMT.

Point being that on p99 I can guarantee that most RMT bans are people that technically had an incentive to RMT but did not RMT and got unbanned if the GM at that time was being fair (like Brak was).

I'd just like to know why llandris or any gm would feel the need as you put it to be careful when choosing accounts to ban. Isn't it his server? Pretty sure they could ban 800 and never have to offer any reason if they saw fit.

Real answer is play by the rules or suffer the consequences. You can look up consequences in a dictionary or Google as I know most Young bucks haven't any idea what that is.

I read the rules before I logged on in 2009. Because I also played on EZ where u had to box 8-12 to get stuff done.

Over my many years here, I've encountered soooo many players that didn't know we had rules let alone a Eula custom tailored to p99 with p99 rules. Fairly sure by now most know the rules. And if any gm or acting guide decides to Target you and u cannot comply, I say kick rocks and enjoy the black screen.
