Your sick in the head for having your guild leader's phone number. The game isn't that serious. I can understand maybe ICQ or Aim.

To Blizzard, Sony, Mythic, etc., the only true account holder is the one with the secret word or cd-key. If you didn't give that to them, you just let them "borrow" the account.

The cd-key or secret key is the standard by which an account is passed from one person to another.

Seems about right. Based on your other threads, your guild basically babysat you through instances that were normally well above your level because they needed healing power. Plus, as you also demonstrated in this thread and admitted, you are tempermental and stuck up. From the guild's perspective, they invested a lot in you, then you decide to quit, and likely you were already mildly unpopular for your attitude but tolerated due to the fact that you were a healer. Obviously they don't have a lot of healing types in the guild, or they wouldn't have bothered doing this.

So yes, I'd say it's about right. Kind of a jerk move by them, but understandable.

You got it backwards. He got to where he is/was on his own, then helped them (being the only high-level priest in the guild).

Way to go outside the bounds of the game to get even. UO was a PvP game. Everyone who played that knew it. Back in the day, house deeds weren't unloseable, so people knew to use caution when placing a house. PKs were VERY prominent in those days. Just because your friend was ignorant, and got taken out by some people playing the game it was meant to be played doesn't mean you should CHEAT and take their stuff. You realize you're a cheater, don't you? You cheated to win. Because you couldn't win any other way. Way to go, big man.

UO was a PVP unrestricted game... a thought that even Richard Garriott should have been smart enough to realize was sheer folly. Anytime people can do something that's wrong and know for certain they'll get away with it, they will.

PKs weren't prominent after the first six months to a year, GANKERS AND GRIEFERS and teams of GANKERS AND GRIEFERS were prominent after the first six months to a year. Difference. I met PKs once in UO. They wanted me to pay a toll of 100 gold to pass through their forest, or else they'd kill me. That's a PK. Setting a trap on a pile of gold in the middle of nowhere... that's PKing... running rampant and killing everyone you come across, which is what the aforementioned smile did, is not PKing, its unrestricted griefing. Especially when you do it a team.

I took great pleasure in tracking down individual PKs myself, with no cheats or hacks, and killing them. I took even greater pleasure in tracking down known griefers and griefing them for a change. I was the Long Arm of the Law, and you can take your "cheated to win" bullshit and go away former-PKer and cry in the corner.

I didn't "cheat to win" "because I couldn't win any other way". I cheated and destroyed the livlihood of gankers and griefers because Origin wanted to truly "play God" and let the community form their own law. And guess what - we did.

Jesus, you need to walk outside once in a while. There are more important things in life. Stop wasting more time trying to get an account back that you werent even going to use anymore. If you were going to keep paying the monthly fee even though you werent going to use it, youre a moron.
