Nope, never Spellsword there.

Flav is in Spellswords.



It's true we usually don't need to go outside to fill up a raid evening. but it can happens
But we do invite people when we have free spots... There was a few Maniacs and one member of Ghallanda Rerolled in our Saturday evening raids.
You just need to be on the right Teamspaek server or in the right channels, it's extremely rare when we just pug spots through LFMs.

I like wow and have every class to 110 but I’m always mind numbingly bored after only one month of playing. I did try ESO a while ago and it was ok. Might try rift or DAoC for some nostalgia.

Apparently.

I guess since he got banned from DDO and his toons got deleted, he decided to make a clean break with the game, including at least this DDO forum.

Do not try the patience of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocation of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

SSG: "Delete all the top players. This'll really help get the game goin'!"

I wasn't part of this fiasco. I didn't know about it sooner, else I probably would have been joining in. Temp bans or removal of epic PLs was warranted. Deleting characters of people who've played this game since the release was not.

A)  Almost no top players were deleted.  Also number of players deleted was a small minority of the player base.  The narrative that entire server populations were wiped out is false. 

B)  Nah.  Totally warranted.  Make getting caught cheating hurt.  Only people advocating for weaker punishments are ones who want to cheat in the future.

A) Straw man argument. I never said any of that.

B) Subjective. One could argue that it would have been better to remove exploited PLs, give out temp (long) bans, and fixed the game so it wasn't so easy to exploit in the future. Old game = lot's of security issues, but please, this is pathetic.

This is SSG's choice, I'll respect that. I'll continue playing on like nothing happened, as nobody I (personally) know or play with was deleted or banned.

Bullshit. I don't know that I've ever participated in any exploit and have no plans to do so in the future, but I completely disagree with this punishment. This game doesn't have the population to be turning away players for stuff like this.

If I had to guess, it may have been the fact that I applied the dirty sock title to him and his sock. Perhaps you remember his sock from seven days ago?

You are assuming that the same number of players will continue to exploit.  I suspect that fewer players will be willing to risk character deletion to skip a few PL's or get an extra stack of mats in the future.

Maybe this was not the right exploit for the hard punishment but it was coming.
If SSG took the time to check out your toon, I don't think they stopped at xp. They took a good look at your inventory and bank, too. Maybe even shared bank. And if they found something fishy, I am sure they tipped the scale to deletion.

Or they just rolled a dice. Who knows?

But you're still over simplifying. There are plenty of people vigorously opposed to the death penalty. This does not mean they intend to commit a crime fitting that punishment in the future. 

My biggest problem with this whole situation is that it was/is an intentional trap by SSG.

The Orien high-skulls community had ostracized me within 2 hours of coming back to the game after a year-long break. Went to Cannith instead and am teaching newbies, who actually appreciate the fact that I'm around. If you're saying the people who acted better than me were cheaters and they're all banned, then I'm over the moon and I want SSG to make more exploit traps.
