Nowhere did it say that Java was banned.

I am dumbfounded that people are complaining that these people were treated unfairly. What? It's not harsh enough for Gnimral but too harsh for Mrperson13? Backstab bug does not trump infinite xp bug... yeah, no. I think what the real issue here is that MrP. is receiving a little favoritism from the player-base...


Wait what? Wtf did I do?

A backstab bug? Haven't played a rogue since Gnimral and she was uh...crap.

EDIT: On second thought, I think I know what you're confused about. I wasn't Bree/Bria and never abused any NPC rogue backstab bug :wink: That was a Ruud.

Obviously again it falls to having this huge gap between what we as players and what dulrik feels is important.


I disagree as well. Stop ignoring the players who largely don't care enough to post - because they don't cheat (in ways most normal people would consider cheating) and are happy that players who do get punished.

And anyone still carping on about the whole Bree thing - whatever you all think, no one ever proved he knew about the bug so far as I know, or at least no proof was provided to the imms. I've no doubt that if rock solid evidence existed that he'd tested the backstab on that NPC and still used it he would have had a character deleted.

I'm actually pleased the imms don't use Algonesque/DA levels of "proof" to make decisions.

I deal with these things all the time. I rp'd these problems with my current char (not knowing places I did OOCly). This is all besides the point though. None of this is at all on par with the subject at hand.


Let me put it this way, if any immortal really felt like it, they could watch you for a week and find some instance of multiplay to delete you for. Did you roleplay not knowing the layout of levelling zones too? How nitpicky do you really want to get?

No one is really questioning the deletion of the characters involved, it's the so-called permaban that is at question here. It matters very little in this instance, however next time it may be you or someone else that actually wants to play this game :P



I welcome anyone that wants to watch me, and if they find me using any info that I should not be using with my character, I invite them to delete my character and siteban me. I'll get as nitpickity as you want. I know well that there are people out there that don't cheat. There are just a bunch of people who do cheat, and admit it, like you, and these two under discusion (though in my opinion what they did is far worse than any of the things you listed. You do have to be 18 or have a guardian sign a release for you to play an 'adult' game.)

{edit} Not trying to be harsh, just discussing this. Also trying to make sure I am clear, which I am not sure yet that I am.


A couple of things.

There is no one that doesn't cheat as a player in some way, shape, or form. No one. It's the nature of the beast. It's like saying you're not a lawbreaker, but occasionaly you go 1mph over the speed limit, or cross the street outside a crosswalk. You're still a lawbreaker. That's the entire point here. Everyone cheats, however it's the discretion of the immortals on staff on what is worth enforcing and what isn't.

This game wasn't listed as an "adult" game until after those offenses, even though Welverin and his ilk had been around for a very long time. It's good to know that actually breaking the law(contributing to the delinquency of a minor) is less severe than a game rule in your mind.

As I said before, Dulrik's punishments are almost always going to be the most severe that you'll find so it's not exactly a surprise that sitebans were passed out, but it's not the first time someone has found something and abused it for xp. Firestorm's tavern comes to mind, the hole in the wall in N'Kashya, the archery butts, Owyran Volators, and more. The only real difference I see is that there were NPCs involved in these cases.

Does that make a difference? Sure it does. However, an escalating ban system that most PTP games have implemented would be much better. Leave all the piddly stuff the same, make a penalty volcano for repeat offenders/egregious offenders.

Yeah, I didn't say nor was I trying to imply I was definitely banned. I was just curious if his ban would effectively mean I was as well because I'm noobtastic as far as technical sort of shtuff goes. While I'm sure there's a way to get around it even if that's the way it works, I don't wanna make matters worse by seemingly circumventing MrP's ban so that I could play. So I thought the best thing to do was outright ask that way there's no question of 'Oops, my bad. I didn't know.' ;)
