My account is TERMINATED

[Buffervarkie]

Hello everyone.

I just want to inform you that my main account has been terminated. Which means i will stop playing DAOC offcourse.
After 3,5 years of work, i won't come back to DAOC ever again.
My ranger hit rr7L1 today.
I heard about this bug that makes you get 2000 - 50000 rps from 1 kill, and i tried it out 1 time and it worked giving me about 35000 rps for 1 kill.
My account got instantly terminated because they state i did something similar before. They referred to an incident of 3 years ago, when i was still playing Prydwen. And my ranger and an infiltrator friend of mine did a Duel afternoon which gave me 10000 rps or so in duno 2 or 3 hours. So essentially i got banned for 45000 rps, what a bullshit :-).
As that seemed to have been against the COC/ROC, i received 3 days ban for it. The ban lasted 22 days, because GOA had account server problems, so i was the dupe of it.

If they terminate my account for that, then I find this not deserved.
I didn't really plan on stopping daoc yet, but this offcourse gives me no other option.

I will also post the mails i received from goa, and the replies i sent them.

I wish you all the very best.

Greetings

Varkie

Well, i'm a programmer myself, bugs can get into programs, but for trying this out, taking away the rights to use a program, that's not very nice to be honest.
I admit my mistake, and i can promise you i won't do it again.
But what i state about the duels of 3 years ago, saying me I did this before, is a lie. And if you do something wrong, you get instant termination, that's not fair.

I was allways very happy with the way GOA worked, but this i find exagerated, sorry.
There have been tonns of other players that used 3rd party programs like radar, which was a real offence vs other players, cuz they could find you anywhere, and lots of those haven't even been terminated. So I find this very unfair, compared, since i only tested this out, and didn't play on retrying. And no other player gotten any negative effect whatsoever of me testing this bug out.

Have a good evening.

Greetings

Alexander

Ok, i'm gonna be honest, i heard about this bug.
And i wanted to try it out once, because i didn't believe anything about it.
So i admit i have made a mistake, but you permanently close my account because i "did this before"?

3 years ago i duelled a friend in albion prydwen, just for fun, gave me some rps from time to time, his name was Ocolus or Oculus, my ranger was Rangedvarkie.
But that was really for the fun, it's nice making duels and wasn't meant as bug abuse or wanything. Then that time i received 3 days ban, which took 22 days, because there was a problem with the accounts server or something. I accepted that, because indeed i didn't realise doing duels with other realms as against the COC, and only realised it afterwards.
Now you say to me that i did illegal RP farming before, and i will accept being punished for this, but terminating my account i find exagerated.
If you really wanna close my acc down, that's your decision offcourse.
But i'm a good player, got many friends ingame and i'm really against cheating that inflicts damage or negative effects to other players.
But for trying this out for 1 time which no other players get any ingame-negative effects from, getting permanent ban. Sorry i don't find that deserved.
My ranger is strong enough to take on descent fights, without any cheating, i never cheated before.

You can ask many other players in the game what they find of me, like my guildmaster Hurraichbintod, Kindrid, Codacx, Dutx, Halder, Fuddle, Mvv, Janzor, Formi, Ylay, Meutre, Moehlon, Buffdaddy and many others.

I'm not very happy after being such a long term customer with goa, and after all the work i have put in my account, and if it is permanently banned, i am quitting the game, i won't restart a new account or anything, not after all those years of work.

Yours sincerely

Varkie
