cd288 thinks Player A has a problem because he plays differently from cd288, but Player B is A-OK because he plays the same as cd288.

Sounds great, mate.
How many free accounts have you created to hold all the scrolls you have collected?

How much would it have cost to buy a box for every one of those accounts and pay for 1-3 months of subscription for the time it took you to collect them all?

You are correct that is isn't "an exploit" as per the rules, but also, people would not have done this in 2000 because it would be too cost prohibitive for the vast majority of players. So it could be argued that your exploitation of the free accounts is sufficiently unclassic as to warrant this response from the GMs.

tl;dr thanks for breaking quest xp

Question 1: How many (free during live and P99) corpses do I need to make to hold all the scrolls I collected?

See Question 1.

As an aside, if creating an accounts simply for holding items, spells, reagents, etc is exploiting + bannable, many Green players and every serious guild is about to disappear from Norrath in the 6th mass extinction event to hit our planet: The Mule Ban of 2020.

Nah, with the amount of scrolls you claim to have, managing that many corpse timers would be too cumbersome. Not buying it.

Also, GMs have despawned corpses when people made too many in the past, so you'd be risking losing them all.

So, how many free accounts did you make ?

Too many empty corpses in one zone that cause zone lag, sure. You can spread em out across adjacent zones, no problem. Could even do it across multiple toons on main account - you got 8 slots. Don't worry, full details to come, Soon™

I'm sorry you're stuck at 51. It gets better. No, it doesn't.

No player or guild has twenty or more mule accounts. One or two maybe three sure but not the amount that you had to create for the scrolls.

Fact Check: True, and then some.
