Last night I received a tell from a GM saying and I quote:
"Your character will be banned within the next hour"
I asked:
"Why?"
and he responded"
"For coming up with the idea and basic process of duplicating items via lag spikes"
I created a new character this morning and when I tried to access my other character that was scheduled for ban I got this message:
"This character no longer exists because of one of these reasons:
Data loss
or
Banned"
I suggest you quit duplicating items if you are because as well as getting caught your character will be gone.
As I heard from /anon: /anon says that there is no way to track this problem.
INCORRECT!
In Diablo 2 and another game called The Realm they implant item numbers (cannot be seen!) so they can tell if duplication has taken place. If the number is f.e.:
1589724
and they find the same exact item or a variation with the number:
1589724
That item would be deleted and the character would also be deleted without notification.
Also from what the GM said in other terms:
ANY GAME ACTIVITY CAN AND WILL BE LOGGED INCLUDING MESSAGES AND /TELL'S BUT WILL BE DELETED OFF OF OUR SYSTEM IF NO MALICIOUS IDEAS OR PROCESSES ARE FOUND!
This is a warning! There may be more! This is all I will say... For all of you high levels DO NOT DUPE OR BE PREPARED TO BE BANNED IF THEY CATCH YOU! Thank You!
