I am NOT a hacker, i NEVER hacked and NEVER will hack, just so everybody here knows.
But here’s a fact that might scare you [if u have high level characters in MS]
YOU DON’T HAVE TO HACK/SCAM TO GET BANNED!
You just have to be near a hacker; talking to a hacker for it to happen.
Heck, the GM could pop up on your screen and just THINK you are a hacker. No megaphone announcements, u don’t even need to be doing anything. GM thinks u are hacking, BAN! you’re gone.
I heard from people at other forum sites they weren’t hacking nor scamming and they got banned. Being a high level can be suspicious enough even if you are a true legit player.
Other things- if you reported somebody who you thought was hacking and wasn’t, that false report can be enough to get you banned later on.
Mind your conduct and how you’ve talked to other players, if u got mad and said something nasty on megaphone or not, that will also put u at risk in the future.
Hackers hack, and if they don’t get banned, they will be banned later on, maybe tomorow or maybe in a month.
Sure there are only a few GM’s per server and they are all spread out, but then there DOESNT HAVE TO BE A GM CHARACTER ON YOUR SCREEN. Gm’s probably watch you without needing characters in the game. Keep in mind you are under watch every second you play.
Sure we are not perfect. So people mistakingly reported suspected hackers [and you probably have been falsely reported by others]. ppl swear all the time on MS and say nasty things to eachother. But we are all humans
and we are not perfect.
Anything you do can get you banned, especially during a GM rampage.
This message is my idea of common sense.
LEGIT PLAYERS ARE AT RISK OF BAN TOO KEP IN MIND
You can also get banned for kill stealing and cursing.
Yes.
It’s true.
I saw a hacker in Lost Time I and he ran away.
I got his name.
He was using vac hack, so all the monsters were on one platform.
I was about to move on when a GM popped up. (I DIDN’T TAKE PICTURES, I’M SO STUPID)
He saw it all and asked me if I was hacking.
I said no (obviously), and i gave him the name.
A warning window pops up, saying something about not hacking.
Then I see his (hacker) name in a Notice about a bunch of hackers getting banned.
I felt good, and at the time I felt freaked out that i was gonna get banned.
But I’m level 42, I can’t touch those teddy bears.
I guess he realized that.
GM’s are smarter then I thought.
(If I could summit a picture, I would show you the notice of the hackers names.

nice
the scariest thing happened to me the other day. i was training a new thief at henesys when my screen cut out and i had to log in again
A notice came up saying my id and p/w was invalid. [ban]
I logged in a few minutes later and it worked and i was playing again *phew*
