It's been good, so long p99!

[Talgurin]

Been a bit more reckless than usual lately, maybe growing tired of EQ subconsciously and desiring to move on, but I did something I only ever did once before which was hop on my other account to, in my belief at the time, very quickly transfer an item. That's all it took to get immediately detected as a boxer and banned within moments. But that's that, been here since P99 launched, faithfully promoting the server and donating for years. However, now it's time to move on. I really hope that other games in the future can be made with the same level of challenge and community as classic EQ. Until I find a game that even comes remotely close to that, perhaps I'll be focusing more on non-gaming related things.

RIP: Wyndso, Vestige, Talgurin, and many other alts

RIP

shoulda just came clean and you prob woulda got suspended. How far did you make em go with the boxing test?

[Talgurin]

I said "Guilty as charged, nothing to test, I was transferring an item" and then I started disconnecting.

It wasn't a drop transfer then? Rules are rules, and apply to us all... banned forever or suspended?

Sad to see an old veteran leaving like that. Good luck with wherever you're headed next <3

[Lune]

There's a good chance he was only suspended but just doesn't know that. It says you're banned whether you are banned or suspended.

Its so hard not to box. Just.. can't... Help... It...

[Talgurin]

I suppose it's possible i was suspended and not banned. Honestly I didn't know there was a difference.

It'll say "banned" on the server select screen but it won't always mean it. I wonder how many players we've lost to that sometimes.

(I got a suspension for making a character called Robinwilliamss or some variation and corpsing it at the EC tunnel after he died, apparently a "RL friend" of Robin Williams plays P99 and was offended - Derubael swung the hammer... nobody said a word when I did it for Whitney Houston, apparently nobody cared about her)

Also a fun fact, if you're banned/suspended on blue, you're also banned/suspended on red... so always a good idea to make a new account for different characters AND servers.

The Robinwilliams prank is a pretty epic way to get suspended. Now when I tried to login I got a message but I didn't read it. I just thought "Fuck it, my account's over, time to say goodbye". I'll go log back in again and read if it says banned or not.

It might be a week's suspension or something, keep checking back.
