Not to say the lost lvls and lost plat won't hurt...But...for example..take a certain monk who was known to farm fungi tunics.

All he has to do is sell a few items he got while hacking and he is right back up to speed money wise.

Not everyone keeps their currency liquid. If I had gotten hit with this disciplinary action I would have lost maybe 1/20th of my wealth...not much of a setback.

However, getting rolled back to kunark launch will:

A. Suck ass for them

B. Remove money and items accrued while hacking (If they were doing it since kunark launch they were doing it before as well but there has to be a cutoff and the Devs don't want to permaban the accounts which I can understand to a certain point)

C. Benefits those of us who were not hacking by removing their items from the game making the ones gained legitimately more valuable.

D. Makes them have to regrind keys, lvls, factions etc - As is its a 3 week setback for hardcore players and a slap on the wrist money wise (someone said the plat avg was 8k per account?)

Just seems the item penalty falls short. What if I had gotten caught hacking...but a week prior to the ban wave I was lucky enough to have invested 2-3million plat into a fungi staff? Crap I lost lvls...but I still got my staff bought with dirty plat.


Anyways..I doubt they will change it but food for thought. Either way well done Devs.

I Support this 1000%

I know of a guy that got suspended and such. He doesn't have much plat, but I happen to know he has at least six manastones.

Strip the characters entirely.
Delevel them to 1.
Put a title on every character they make on any of their accounts from now on. "Caught Hacking"

Let's stop letting complete fucking shitbags run around anonymously.

most hacker have mult accounts they would never keep there bank roll on account there hacking with.Taking there plat taught them nothing and I'm very sure laughing there asses off right now.

Here's my question:
How many have logged in since the mass suspension using MQ2 then? There has to be quite a few who didn't know of the bans and just hadn't played in the last two weeks...namely those returning to college or coming home from their internship at Argonne National Labs before classes begin.

That would be interesting...

Douchiest class: Bards

Clerics and druids are the top two classes with cheaters.

Bard and enchanters are second most. However, there are more clerics/druids/enchanters than bards, meaning bards have the highest % of douche population in Everquest for a class. I don't think anyone was surprised there. However I was surprised that more necros (4th after monk)

Naw, douchiest class has to be Ranger

I mean seriously, all the other classes have higher %'s, but 2.24% of the hackers were Rangers. That has to account for almost every ranger on the server!

Would explain the sudden increase in lv60 accounts for sale...

As posted by many others, make the cheaters burn on a stake.. Delevel them and a tag on them saying cheater should suffice, OR post all the names, I think The true legit players deserve to know.

Sad people have to cheat at a game that's 12 years old..
