Right? People who post here years after they quit are so sad.

Anyways, let’s say you admitted to stealing a virtual item worth $3,500. Because you did. Doesn’t that make you a felon, Nyclin? Did you report the income to the IRS? Are you a tax cheat, too?
Lmao red flag him!

It was at this point I decided to no longer be kind to the casuals as they have extreme short term memory. They did this to themselves, unfortunately.

Wiz on live... would port anyone I disliked or got annoyed with to plane of hate... sometimes this was full groups mid-fight in seb... once specifically when fungi dropped, I felt no one deserved it.

I stole a custom cowl of mortality, flayed barbarian skin leggings, fungi tunic, cloak of flames and a few other big ticket items from multiple people that shared accounts with my brother who was in their guild.

Was about 14 with three of my 14/15 year old friends on live during PoP, no idea which server. We scammed other players pretty badly, I feel awful looking back.

Bazaar was notoriously laggy for old ass computers back in the early 2000’s. So, naturally, we would be selling a Crystal Chitin Chestguard (I think there was a more expensive item with the same graphic) and because we were lagging sooooo badly, the Accept button wasn’t working. The buyer had their money in the trade window, we had the ~8k chestguard they wanted in the window, they had greened the trade, but, man, the lag was just so bad.

“Let’s move to the the wall, maybe that would help?”
Yeah good idea.

Repeat that a couple more times. Still too laggy.

“Okay just be really quick and maybe that will work.”

They opened trade with the 8k, we popped in a Brown Chitin Protector, the garbage 50p chest, they accept, we accept, and HAUL ASS!

Never ended up getting suspended or banned, there was a big announcement prior to server login warning of scams describing our exact method after we were at it for awhile. We stopped after that...

when the bazaar first came out, I was broke as hell. I started a little casino and worked my way up to winning about 10k. I turned that into a Ikky BP, and bought a bunch of steel BPs. Id put the ikky bp up for sale for 7k and shout its for sale, wait til i saw someone doing the ol running and staring at you as they right click, and right as they get to me I'd swap the items, they'd see the obscure price like 6999 and buy, walk about 20 feet..... and turn around lol.

I got up to fungi level and was doing that at 100k a pop, as they were going for 140k, etc etc. Did that for a bit and also ran a legit big bet casino where I did pay everyone out.

One time there was a level 1 casino with a strange name. He was doing huge bets with people and had like 1 mill plat he was showing as his proof of payout ability.. I waited til he logged off and made a char with the same name but two letters reversed. Got in there and was being legit for some and then not paying out others. Made a lot that day.

Another time we had a lvl 30 ogre running a casino in the baz. Me and my brother ended up getting him to join a group right as his port was going off. We got him out to Butcherblock where we had 4 people waiting as well. We all nailed him and then my brother got final blow and looted and said "SHIT! He destroyed all the plat [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] ".... Everyone was bummed... then I look and my brother casts sow and starts slowing crawling away XD .. Got about 500k off him.

Sold all that plat. I was 12. Really helped my credit score though.

On Prexus I ninja looted a white scale off Gorenaire for my Bard's epic. I ran a lvl 1 iksar on my brother's account all the way from Calibis and camped him in the spot where i knew she was usually killed. I waited for a guild named Domus Divinae to kill her, logged on the iksar, sat inside the corpse so i couldnt be seen and spammed loot until i finally got in. Snagged the scale and camped out. Logged back onto my main and sent a tell to a friend in the guild asking about the loot and he complained it was bad, no book no scale. They never suspected a thing. I waited a few days to make sure, then transferred it over to my bard and got my epic shortly after. Told everyone i got lucky and found someone selling the scale, which at the time would never happen.

I was in a top tier guild on prexus for a long time. Became pretty good friends with a couple people and we started to share accounts. When i quit i stole all their droppable items and ebayed everything. Made about 4000 dollars in the end, which at 16 years old was fuckin awesome. I later checked and everyone i stole from had their gear reimbursed by GMs so i don't feel too bad.

I did the fire pot scam a lot when that was found it. Back in the day you would drop plat without any confirmation message. We found out that if you sat in fire, the fire animation would count as a wall, and when you tried to transfer plat it would drop to the ground. So i would spend time sitting in the EC fire pot selling a fungi tunic for a cheap price, tell unsuspecting buyers to come to the firepot, and then when they drop their money i'd snag it and log off. My little brother went to almost every server and did it. Eventually they patched it, but man we made a lot of money doing that.

At some point in velious my friend had a lvl 52 ranger with epics that he quit playing. So we would trade his account for high ticket items, and then wait a day and use the original CD keys and steal the account back. Worked probably 8 times or so before everyone in EC was saying to avoid trading with Teain.

I probably have some more i can't remember. I was a little shit kid
