LM-17

I'd imagine Minidragon killed himself this morning.

I mean he obviously spends 24 hours a day in the game, so his life is basically over.

Can anyone confirm if he did in fact commit suicide?

A boy has the right to dream.

I find it amusing how some of the banned are saying "lolz enjoy your dying game now everybody" when a decent proportion of the people who have been banned will either continue to play on another account that they've aquired/will aquire, or will just start a new account. This won't affect endgame at all, apart from a reshuffle of linkshells on some servers. Not to mention Odin's issues with having too many people online at once, this game may have peaked already but its far from dying.

As for the punishment itself, the ToS were quoted and are very clear on what happens if you exploit a glitch (I myself had never read the ToS like a huge number of people here I'm sure, but ignorance is not an excuse). However after hearing some responses from friends who have been hit and spoken to GMs, this permaban verdict may not be final but I guess time will tell in 3-10 days.

As for the punishment missing some people and it not being "fair". You took a gamble and either lost or won, but you can be sure that anyone who survives this won't be trying it again. Who cares what happens to the duped alex, SE won't do anything about it and nor should they.

THIS, THIS, a million times THIS. You have to agree to play by a set of rules ever single fucking time you log in. How can people think there was ANY other remedy?

Not only do the call center/gms have to deal with a bunch of people today, but they get to do it all over again in 3 days. Love it.

Why don't you off yourself and find out yourself. If he did he most likely has already slain Jesus and plotting his plan against god himself.

I'm not sure if it would be possible for you to ride dick any harder...

One day, about a year and a half ago, I took a walk.

I walked by the bank, and found a big hole in the side! And inside? Well, there was a big pile of money!

So know what I did? I took some money!

The next day, I walked by, and the hole was still there! So I took some more money!

I knew I could tell the bank about the big hole... but getting more money was more important to me... so instead I told everybody I knew about it! Then they started taking money too!

I did this for over a year... I had lots of money! So did my friends! People were sooo jealous of all our money!

Now I'm in jail. The cops say I was stealing. oh QQ oh QQ

Now I can't even take walks anymore.

oh QQ oh QQ oh QQ

BUT IT WAS THE BANK'S FAULT!!! oh QQ

[Snprphnx]

We still need niki to post, he/she/it was one of the many that said wouldn't ever get touched by SE's banstick.



You left out the part where they said to REPORT glitches/exploits, not abuse them.

last time i tried to report a glitch to a GM, he said to contact the tech support via email. When I sent the email, they replied asking me to inform an in-game GM.

This was for the PS2/3 issue in sea where aerns TP moves can cause an error code which requires a full restart. An issue since sea was created, 4 years later is still in existence. Then again, maybe if we had reported the salvage trick, they would never touched it... damn, fucked that up

I got LM-17 which turned out to be a perma ban. Kinda sucks lol after 4 years of playing without any warning or strikes against teh account they just ban me like that. People who got like 200 mil of SW however dont seem to be getting banned, 3 days suspention onry. I guess everything gotta end sometimes.

LOL

[Akucaen]

I fucking lol'ed at your sig bagel.

[Balb]

Simply. Marvelous.

[Scuzzelbutt]

Well hopefully SE will release there new MMO tonight so everyone doesn't /wrist ><

[Mandze]

This is going to really ruin the game for a lot of people, even those of us who weren't involved or were not banned. My friend list was pitifully short when I logged on this morning. I wonder if SE has stopped to think about how many OTHER people will leave the game because so many of their friends were axed this morning? If the majority of the friends they banned don't make it back, I kind of doubt I'll keep playing for much longer-- the game stopped being challenging or whatever about 3 years ago, and the people are really the only reason to play these days. :/

Carbuncle seems to have been hit pretty hard this morning.

They will be back when they pay stupid prices for shitty Level 75 characters so they can keep their fix going.

Sounds like a good time to sell my char...

Don't cry Mandze ; ; I can bring at least 3 of us back with terribly gimp toons lol! Thank goodness for friends giving me their accounts when they quit.

This has to be the fastest growing thread in BG history. I can't fucking keep up.

pretty sure "bg shadiness" grew faster
