Viper appreciation thread ('tuber controversy')

by bockhorm » Wed Mar 16, 2016 8:14 pm

I think we all ought to show our appreciation to how Viper and Nostalrius handled the 'tuber controversy' in the end. It's very nice to see that they can reconsider and show some serious and well-needed consideration for people who, without a doubt, were wrongly banned. The easy way out would just have been to be quiet about this and let time pass by. I'm very happy to see they did not!



For reference (scroll down): viewtopic.php?f=76&t=38215&start=120
Greetings,

Last weekend, 3 players were banned for duping specific quest items in Felwood. After the research done by players, it appeared that this bug isn't a major one and as a consequence, cannot lead to a permanent closure of an account.

As a result, those 3 accounts are now unbanned. The following items gathered will be deleted from their accounts. From what we saw of the accounts, some of them already have a "last warning" applied prior to the ban, so please check the Terms of Use and feel free to report any abnormal issues in-game. A log has been applied to monitor abusers and a fix is going to be applied in order to prevent any players from abusing this mechanism again.

Best regards.

I was so sure that they wouldn't bother unbanning. I'm glad that they took the time to do extra investigating and came to a reasonable conclusion.
+1 Good job on making the right decision.

Where can I read Viper's post? Only found quotes from it, and nothing in the Announcements section of the forum.

It would be nice if account warnings went away after a while without violation .. like a year.

I have a warning on mine from long ago when I was a noob and I don't have Monkeynews' fanbase to protest for days on the forums if I get banned for something like this
