Uthgaard brought me to Chardok once to train out IB/TMO scum, because they were camp-stealing.

Like literally ported me, gave me sow and aego and told me to fuck shit up.

Yeah this was 2011. Before DDoS protection was on the server. Before many modern customer service tools existed. Before many major plat dupes and exploits had been shored up. Before they realized that they over-valued bad PR from offsite forums. It was very much a frontier setting.

The old threads are still out there somewhere. Most people had no idea what it took to maintain order. Tiggles was a level 25 mage who was nothing on the server. I had no GM tools at that point, but I had the ability to ban and unban people.

I made a few deals with people who had been caught 2boxing, allowing them to get a few items off of the banned characters in exchange for a character (character selling was a legit thing at the time).

I set Tiggles up with a level 60 rogue, in exchange he would act as a plant to infiltrate TMO and find the DDoSers. We had a few other techniques and resources for locating and neutralizing threats that go far beyond what people realize. RMT was a big threat to the server, because SOE was tentatively OK with P99, so long as no profit was made.

But the guy who ran the server's first plat selling website thought he was slick shit, making tons of money by exploiting the trust of his guildmates. Technically couldn't do anything without affecting half of the server's population that he had conned... until he found his bank accounts frozen and his utilities shut off. Never heard from him again after I used his real name, think he put 2 and 2 together.

But I went just as far to help people who needed it. I sat in north karana for three days in between petitions using a forage skill of 50 to do a reimbursement for a stack of plains pebbles once, when I didn't have GM abilities.

Sometimes it takes a criminal to enforce the law in a lawless frontier.
Uthgaard would give me back my Autotune forum account.

And wtf is this shit? Because he has a cartoon avatar of a young girl you automatically assume its kiddie porn instead of a well known character from a popular action anime? I mesn its clearly not sexaulized in any way. Rather I think it's just you being so thoroughly embarrassed throughout this thread that you've regressed to copying Tiggles bit regarding Deru and his fetishes.

I know you're new and you desparetly want to fit in but until you stop mindlessly regurgitating what you assume the guild talking points regarding a particular subject will be you should sit down and shut the fuck up while we discuss the blatant corruption on this server.
Yeah Jimmies rustled extremely.

Uthgaard never paid me in toons, even though I was in the dupe underbelly alongside Phib (sql injectors) and knew the phone numbers and private of info from Phib to Abyss to Platlord.

I feel bad almost, because TMO wasn't that hard to get into back then (well I don't think it was ever really that difficult to get in actually).

I hope he didn't actually come up with a backstory.

I think Tiggles should be retroactively banned for RMT

No backstory was necessary. Just gear. And yeah, at that point, TMO was an entirely different entity than the TMO known today.
There were times when Beovvulf would go around giving random people guild invites. Like, 10-20 new people would just pop up in guildchat every so often.

I'm glad you attempted to find my penis. Because all of this was posted later on in that same thread on pages 30-45 or so.
Who would have thought your dick shadow would bring everything back full circle years later?
