Nothxu = Stripped

[Nothxu]

I appreciate the kind words from everyone. Here is the history from the petition forums.

Here was Derubael's responses to my original petition:

Couple things:

I still have my doubts that your account was legitimately hacked. I will look further into that side of this to be sure, but actual account hacks are exceedingly rare.

That being said, we don't discuss punishments with players who don't own the account that's been punished, unless that player agrees to the release of that information. Suffice it to say that nobody is running around playing with your items.

Lastly, I think I stated earlier in this thread that as a general rule, we simply don't reimburse items lost on Red 99. There are a number of reasons for this - for one, people shouldn't be sharing their info to begin with, and for two, I have no way of knowing what the circumstances were surrounding your gear being moved to another character. For all I know, in situations like this, someone could have told someone else to take the gear off their character specifically to get them banned. There are simply too many variables.

I know that you look at this situation and think it's clear cut, but it's not. We have to look at the big picture here, and if we start reimbursing items with you, we have to start doing it with everyone in the future. And in the past. Or else it's favortism. So getting you your items back opens a huge can of worms I am not inclined to deal with.

I will, however, still speak with Sirken and see what he thinks. If he's willing to deal with situations like this in the future, then maybe we can do something here. If not, I'm not going to be able to get your items back.

My response back:

Thanks for the quick response Derubael. Some quick points:

Maybe hacked isn't the right word, but someone may have been able to guess my password. The name of the account is the name of the monk, which could have been easy to guess. The password is something I frequently use in other games / forums / etc. Not the best system I know, and I have since changed passwords around, but that is the situation.

Thanks for the comment. It's good to know someone isn't running around in a level 20 in unrest with my T-staff and CoF and AoN killing new players in unrest.

The reasons for not reimbursing items makes sense, but I also know there have been characters that have been restored in the past. MellowYellow rings a bell there, and he wasn't someone who you would call a good influence to the server. I have been nothing but a positive influence to the server and had something really shitty happen to me.

Your responses help clear some things up. I hope you are able to make an exception in my case to the general rule. I think the items I lost are also top tier items, it's not like I am talking about a fbss etc here, which should warrant an exception. The pure time investment in the server I would hope is considered as well.

Thanks for speaking with Sirken about this. I really appreciate that. Please let me know what you all decide.

PS. For what it's worth, if you all decide to not reimburse the items, I will most likely stop playing on the server. I am telling you that simply so that you know this is a very big deal to me, simply too much time was invested in that stuff (I think I spent the most time server-wide camping the T-Staff before I got it, and was one of the last vets to get the AoN due to bad luck). It wouldn't be right to ask for those items again from the guild, and I don't think I have it in me to farm another T-Staff.

I understand the frustration, and yes, in the distant past items stolen/stripped on red were reimbursed, but we haven't done one of those in many, many months - maybe even years.

It's just too much of a pain to sort out what's what. I'll still put it to Sirken to see what he says, but I would not expect anything different.

Sirken's Conclusion:

we looked into this and sadly theres nothing we can do about the items. also this is why we tell people not to share account info.
