I was banned for warping. I have macroquest installed, like 95% of everyone else who has ever played on a custom eqemu server where it's allowed to help box multiple characters. If you'd like, I can send you a screenshot of the folder and you'll notice no warping plugins. If someone was like "hey Reiker I'll give you $100,000 to /warp ingame" I wouldn't even be able to do it since I don't have the plugin, don't know where to get the plugin, and I'm not interested in the plugin.

I used macroquest the first two weeks the server was up, due to being used to using it on other server to take away some tedium (like, /targeting a mob through a wall instead of invising myself and then walking around the wall to /target). I was banned because of a screenshot that had the macroquest window open (which I didn't post here obv). I was unbanned shortly after and explained that I had a clean slate, which obviously wasn't true, as I was banned months later after never using macroquest since the original incident.

That's about all I have to say on the matter.

Would also like to emphasize that I've been playing characters here casually for the past year under various names and have not once been suspected of any kind of cheating.

The "cheating" I've done is absolutely benign compared to people like Abacab who actually log in just to disrupt other players, or the DDOSers. In the light of offers made to Abacab to restore his character, I'm just saying I'd like the same consideration!

Also I'd like to add that although I've had access to a botnet I've never once ddosed the server.
Is this some sort of passive threat?

Like many people at the beginning of the server, he was banned for not having a GM in his guild.

A. You were not banned for warping, atleast not alone.
B. You WERE using macroquest.
C. You were given NOT ONE but TWO warnings. Most people don't even get one anymore, nowadays macroquest is instant ban with 0 tolerance.
D. We just repelled a 4 gigabit ddos, the only reason you would even say something like "hey I have botnet but I didn't use it" is some sort of way of making us more afraid or more sympathetic? I'm not sure what the point of that is.
E. This is not the petition forum. /thread
