The ban threads:

The level of pure MAYAD in the first few pages of the thread. People were shocked, appalled, & enraged that SE followed their own TOS and banned people who were cheating. Not just lame ass cheating but item duping, pretty much the most egregious sin in MMOs. I still lol about it now.
Those threads to this day showed just how fucking arrogant some of the player base was. I mean over the top thinking their shit didn't stink until they finally got caught and punished for cheating the system.

Quotes from members who were here at the time who literally were shamed into never coming back for the most part.
Fucking Niki.... lol
Man going back to those threads is like a time machine, all those people who don't post anymore.
Niki's posts were the best.
Actually, even better were the ones claiming the non-one-percenters would wither and die without the enlightened ones to figure out content for them.
To this day, I keep reading the first few pages of that thread for entertainment during lunch when I feel like it.
Still got some respect for the guys who actually admitted they were in the wrong.
That was indeed a glorious night.
Niki server jumped to buy that macc staff off me from one of the ZNM's for like 20 mil. Shit was so cash, literally.

Which ban was the 22nd january 2009 one? Was it the Salvage one?
If I recall that was the biggest ban to date?
Sweet lovely memories
Yes 1/22/09 was salvage dupe ban, not sure on "biggest" but certainly the "best"
The 2015 "banwave" was pretty god damn funny too though... but it wasn't a one day thing, it was more spread out
Read through some of those threads. I knew it happened, but I didn't know about any of the drama the ensued.
Damn, SE took the time to look at a years worth of logs. Take no prisoners indeed.
Has it really been ten years? Remember reading that thread as it unravelled, kept refreshing every 2-3 mins. Reading back I can’t decide what my fav quote is
Damn I thought this would have been something relevant.
This line made that thread, did Mini ever start over?Most likely to take own life because of this=Minidragon(Bismark)
Several waves of ban, spread out. Not sure if the total numbers were the same as the Salvo banhammer but they were multiple bans and spread out so it's not the same. Plus the game wasn't really at its peak anymore so it had, let's say, less impact.
bans for what tho
RMT i think, maybe bots
