I'm also in BDA with my Wiz (Khysanth) for Velious fun. Retired my old raiding Cleric Booter (former IB/TR).

I recently reinstalled for Velious (after not logging in since 2012) and found my 60 Cleric stripped of all droppables. GMs said they were traded to some guy named Datlife, eventually they went through Platlord (who is now banned I guess). They can't recover any of the items since they are still in the economy somewhere. Apparently this happened in Jan 2014.

Here are the transactions straight from the GM logs:

Don't think I'll ever bother playing the cleric again. What a shame. Leveling up a wiz now...

e- would kill for some info if anyone happens to know anything. The only people who MIGHT have had my login info were TR/IB officers from ~2011-2012 era. I don't know who were big RMTers back then, Kinsawt maybe? Even if I found out I'll never get the items back though.

The exact same thing happened to me too. I lost all my plat but I got all my items back.

I dont know why it would have been different for you.

Can you tell me which GM you dealt with and do you have the thread/conversation saved anywhere? Or even just your in-game name and when it happened so I can bring it up maybe.

Posted a page or two back about my Cleric getting stripped of all his droppables. Turns out the GMs reversed decision and will get my items back (but not the 50k plat, oh well, I'll take it!)

Probably too much, I'm in Rampage and maintaining a high enough raid attendance to actually get loot basically requires you to be unemployed.

This is why I didn't bother to re-app/join my old IB/TR crew when I came back for Velious. Job... wife... no way I could commit to the playtime I used to on Booter/Khysanth.

If you're worried that the admins can see your porn browsing habits then stop going AFK in groups to jerk off.

I think there are legitimate concerns if it can actually tell what browser tabs and such you have open and is relaying that information. What about people who are able to play from work? There can be sensitive information on those computers. What if you are signed into your bank or medical insurance or something at home? It's also illegal in CA if they are doing it.

So came back after not playing after 2 years and my acc is ban. Petitioned and I guess my acc was used to buy plat about a year ago :X..

Anyhow, thinking about rolling a sham. Any one have any newb gear sitting around they could toss my way?

Same thing happened to me after a 3 year hiatus. You should be able to get your account back... don't bump the petition thread or it goes back to the bottom.

If you're missing any gear that was sold and RMT'd away (happened to one of my characters) you can get that back too. Another petition and 4-6 weeks of waiting for that though.

Ain't that the truth. I just got my War alt to 51 after soloing him from 1 --> 50 as a dumb dumb self-imposed challenge (thanks CoF and Fungi though).

I kind of want to continue AFK soloing him while I'm at work and stuff but don't really know where to go now.

I joined Anonymous from the goon guild. It's been a lot of fun, and yeah you can be uber neckbeard like some members or super casual if you want. There's no minimum raiding percentage like some raiding guilds (I think including BDA?).

From what I know we don't have any ex-Rampage or semi-retired hardcore. We do have a very cool alliance with Divinity, which used to raid with Rampage, so that's a lot of DPS on some targets with their primals and stuff.

BDA is super casual and has no attendance requirements. It's the home of a lot of retired hardcore players (including myself... used to raid with IB/TR back in '09 - '12).

I got my 43.8 shaman doing specters in Feerrott; I'll keep camping these to 46 at least, maybe more if the xp is still good after that. I really want to try to tag along a PoF raid to get my child's tear.

My 27 SHD is currently camped with full SHM buffs at the sister's island in OOT, I want to see if it's possible for a melee class to take the sisters hut for cash/xp at that level. Might end up going to the gargoyle island if that doesn't work out.

Spectres should be good until 47 or 48, I think that's when I usually quit killing them.

Honestly so glad I'm done with P99 and the garbage raid scene. Enjoying the Phinigel progression server. Instances for raid mobs solves 99% of the drama. Instead of "competing" (lol) to tag a mob first or whatever through endurance poopsock races for 15 hours we get to schedule raids like functioning adults with lives and jobs.

If you aren't raiding on P99 I'm sure it's still fun though so don't let me drive you away if you are planning on avoiding the raid scene!

I forget what level you can start quadding but once you do it really is pretty quick. Maybe in the 30s?

They've got some problems but still doable. AFAIK the raptors should be running at slightly over JBoot speed, but right now they're running at SoW speed basically. They also fall through the world sometimes, but not enough that it stops people from exp'ing there.

Oh yikes. Yea when I used them years ago my JBoots were fast enough and they never fell through the world.

I did these for a little while a few months ago and could outrun them with jboots. Just barely though - they're still pretty fast. Luckily I was doing it as a mage/ench duo so we didn't have to kite them around all that often. Only on poorly timed charm breaks.

Overall great exp, much lower hp than most mobs in their level range, not frequently camped, but zero loot. There's a bigass named raptor there that spawns sometimes and even he drops nothing.

Never saw em fall through the world in the ~16 hours I spent there.

Yea I started quadding them on my Wizard I think at 53. Mana pool was a problem sometimes and I'd have to evac and camp, then run back over. The big named one I wasn't able to reliably kill in my quads until the upper 50s. If he spawned I just left him alone and pulled some others. If you run completely OOM, just make sure your lev and jboots are fresh so you can just autorun for a few mins to get ahead of them and camp out.

So whats the raid scene look like? Who are the major raiding guilds? I hate myself just enough that I want to try it.

You do not want to raid on P99. Two guilds monopolize all of the content and the server admins only make things worse with layers and layers of bullshit rules and favoritism.

Be prepared to join a "batphone" that will send you text messages when a mob spawns so you can log in and attempt to kill it before the other guild.

Not recommended for well-adjusted human adults.

I saw a comment on ~~reddit~~ that

1. The P99 owners sell plat online then ban the people who buy it

2. The P99 installer has remote-access malware

Anyone seen anything to substantiate either of these? #1 is sort of believable because gently caress I'd do if it were me. And #2 I can see as an anti-cheating measure, or maybe hoping to catch some dude with $10 million in an unprotected bitcoin wallet (I'd also do that because I'm a dick want $10 million).

1. They also sell plat online to make a lot of money. This is the main reason why they crack down hard on RMT -- it cuts into their profits.

My game account was banned last month after I called Sirken a snowflake in RNF on an alt-forum account.

I petitioned and have not yet heard anything for 4+ weeks.

Literally banned me from playing my characters created in 2009 because of hurt feelings in RNF.
