Punish Harder. Delete items.

I used MapHack on Diablo 2.

That said, Diablo 2 was really an anonymous kind of gigantic video game with an asston of people, all using MapHack. Everquest and especially P99 is a different beast entirely.

I feel that the people who cheated on P99 betrayed our community. These were people that we know, people that we grouped with and people that we argued with on forums. We are not legion.

There were those who had a lot of money... and then there were those who turned that money into items. There is really no difference. About 99% of the items in the game can be bought with platinum. There are those who were highly liquidated, and then there are those who had already bought a lot of items with their ill-gotten gains. For those players, the punishment amounts to almost nothing.

They run around with things like Fungus Tunics and Manastones. They deserve to have their accounts banned, but the server people have decided to let them off lightly. Too lightly, in my not-even-close-to-objective opinion. (I play as hard as hell to win.)

All items on all cheating accounts should be removed. These are the people that we competed with for rare spawns and items on a daily basis, and they had a major, unfair advantage.

Remove their items. All of them.
