This community is beyond three strikes.

You fuck up once, you get a long suspension, you fuck up twice and you start over.

At I think the best thing for Emu PvP right now is for it to die and hibernate for a few years so as many of the utter trash move on. It'll also allow the taint that surrounds every PvP server and makes it avoided by most nostalgia seekers to disperse so they won't immediately be deterred by the trash.

I don't know what the hell it is, but there seems to be a tight core of assholes that just drift from server to server and seek to burn it down and both complain when they die and take perverse pleasure in seeing them ruined.

I mean as it is, this community is like the SZ Jihad chain of boards that were funny to read for a short while, then become oddly interesting because of all the demented and vicious personalities tear at one another to becoming stall and a bore because every second thread and every second word in every thread was n*gger as if the taboo around that word still made it funny to say.

It's hardly surprising that several SZ Jihad personalities have been active in Emu-dom all these years.

What this community needs is no longer banning, but ostracism. You don't simply lose your account and start over, you get prevented from ever playing on the server again.

The novelty of that is that is doesn't have to be an absolute barrier because if they come back hiding their identity they either get had in time and shit canned or they're forced to cut the crap, fly under the radar and lose the most precious thing they have: their EQ-personality/schitck. They either give it up to get their nostalgia fix or they play account Sisyphus over and over once they get discovered.

The nice thing about that is they either act properly or they finally stop playing this fucking game and remove one more person that has been driving countless others away for years.

I play a caster because I for goddamn sure ain't gonna play a melee with shit xp and no box.


Fo rlz




nihilum didn't get shit on for cheating. Holo got shit on for cheating. Amelinda even stated that Holo cheating was a strat stolen from Nih cheating.

So given that jack shit happened to Nih, the very point of this thread is beyond retarded.

Boxers gonna box. It's gonna happen regardless.


A couple people being banned doesn't mean everyone is banned. The percentage of boxers is huge, and it's mostly the people who sit in plane of fear gearing people who are offline. So it's not like Amelinda is going to find the bulk of them.

As long as they get their ip exemption revoked, I see no reason not to allow them access to one account.

Ban them a week or whatever, and that's sufficient punishment. I mean, if they aren't a douche bag id rather have one more ex-boxer than one less player.

It's not like a 2 boxer is trying to cause anyone else problems.

nihilum cheaters for weeks n weeks,, plz remove all dragon loots from that guild,, they have exploited in all games since the dawn of mmos,, some1 step up and permaban these cheaters,,

this is just asking for more people to box imo.

Oh, no harsh punishment from boxing you say? Well, i should at least attempt to get away with it.

The worst that happens is i get put back on the same level as everyone else after a week or two...


same thing with MQ and SEQ. The people you screw are the people that don't use them.

I agree. None of things you are talking about can happen to an innocent person. Boxing, MQ, SEQ all require that you knowingly break the rules or give someone your password so they can break the rules for you.

This server is being run for us by a small set of volunteers and anyone that willingly cheats doesn't deserve to be here.

Just Permaban them and move on, in the end more new people will try RED knowing that it has strict rules and that they won't commonly have to compete with players that "cheat" to win.
