I took a break for about 3-4 months. Came back for a few weeks, then went on Hiatus because I was playing to much and I was. :shock:

3-4 months.

OH, and it looks like joymax is banning more real people that are innocent.

@People who haven't been banned yet. You can't use that as an example. The Player Database is huge, if Joymax is systematically banning inactive accounts, then don't expect them to immediately ban your account. That is a HUGE database. Thousands of characters that haven't been used, with about 600 per ban and 30(?) Servers, it might take awhile before they get your inactives.

Do You have a proof that Joymax banned You wrongfully? Back in the old days bplease the biggest botter on Athens also claimed that [GM]Crayon banned him wrongfully. He even created an account on silkroadtavern call "WrongfullyAccused" :wink:. What makes You any different? Except for the fact, that You can have more unverified excuses?

BTW Banning accounts does not equal erasing them from the database. They are only banning accounts but if You try to login even on the older accounts banned they are not marked as non-existant but only banned. So do You have a proof that they are banning innocents to free-up database space?

@1st paragraph, The only proof I can offer is my word as the ban reason doesn't do justice. Take it as you wish. One person or several people not believing won't change facts: I am legit, have always been legit, and continue to be legit.


@2nd paragraph, I didn't post they were doing a database clean up. I said the database is huge. IMO, they're banning innocents because seeing normal (unknown) names on a ban list gives the player a feeling of reassurance. So, your straw man is fail. Note* "Systematically banning", not deleting. Don't infer what isn't there.

A good 80% of "stall characters" are multicliented.

Also, do people even think about pk2 edits? Any kind, not just stealth editing. -.-

If the account is inactive, then why would it matter?

PS: I'm so effing glad I left babel. Back to 9-10 bans a week. rofl.

My first char on greece which has been inactive for a little over a year has not been banned yet. Going to check every ban list in the future. It will be funny if it does.

Just because he parties it doesn't mean he doesn't bot. He can very well bot and just chat with ppl to pretend he doesn't bot.

it's SAD to know innocent people got BAN twice. I, on the other hand, have over 7 inactive accounts and not one was ban.

They could always ban an account then delete the characters to clear up space. Seeing you can't remake names people would never know.

well, one thing i noticed was that online times also has a say about getting banned. Had a friend who played all day long, and at night, he stalled, making his account logged on, 24h over 24h. He got banned. he created another account, and did the same. He got banned again. I guess being online so much time, and with no log outs, classifies you as a botter, at the eyes of joymax...which kinda sucks, cause it cuts the fun of the game..:\
