It's interesting how the responses to this thread have been. Basically if you are a new poster (< 300 posts) your response is probably going to be of the "gee, sorry to hear about your wife" variety. Conversely if you're a forum regular you're response is way more likely to be of the "really, another plea to the community after you broke the rules and 2-boxed?"
Not sure what that means, other than that these forums make all of us regulars jaded, while the new players (perhaps naively) think the best of people.

The most interesting thing about this thread is that it isn't in RNF yet...
Seriously, if the OP is trolling then it belongs in RNF; if the OP isn't trolling (and I do have sympathy for his RL situation) then its a sad story and someone put him out of his misery and move this off server chat to the RNF section. | ||

All you skeptics with your "Im glad you're banned, go die in a fire" mentality is really unwarranted. the Initial post wasn't asking for anything like a reversal or even flaming the staff. It's not like the forum is any sort of investigator anyway, the staff will find out the truth and act accordingly.
He essentially said "I did a no-no and got a 30day ban, which I will deal with, but I'm sad to hear my wife's account got deleted" It was later cleared up that accts were not deleted in this manner and that was that, yet people jump on the thread acting like this OP was trying to sell us all something, telling him terribly hateful things. Even if OP is lying, the sort of crap people are posting is just overboard. | ||

A) there were never free accounts on live, so comparing that to P99 is really apples and oranges B) boxing two accounts on the same computer was a ban-worthy offense in the classic era Using two separate accounts, with two separate computers, with two separate internet connections (which meant two separate phone lines for most people), was extremely rare back in '99 ... but that was allowed. But if someone to wanted to play two accounts on the same machine/connection, that was impossible with the native EQ client. There was a 3rd-party program (EQW) that let you do it ... but 3rd-party programs were banned. So yes, if you paid $20 a month, plus you bought two computers at $1000+ each, paid $40 a month for two internet connections, another $40 a month for two lines ... then you could box legally. But that's not even remotely comparable to the free accounts on P99, which you can play ten of on the same computer/internet connection. So really, boxing bans were classic.

Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say Ni at will to old men.
Guy had a lapse in judgment / comprehension and that sucks. You people need to get a life.
