Bull has no idea what he's talking about. The castle will indeed fall because the administration intentionally banned & cleared the friends/co-owner list from all of the housing that Telamon owned, with the direct goal of making these establishments unable to be refreshed.LiquidFire wrote:Illmarin assured me this castle would not be falling.
The entire premise of their ban is based purely on speculation, and this so claimed "Scripted Forum Vandalism". The ban was issued because Telamon chose to remove all of his informative posts from the forums, when he decided to leave the server. In some asinine way this was all of a sudden deemed a bannable offense, and additionally was labeled as vandalism..(???) This is also the reason why all of you are no longer able to edit & manage your posts on the forums, because they directly disabled the ability to do so because now it is considered vandalism to remove your own posts which you yourself as the author wrote..
With the official decision to leave the server he split all of his assets amongst a small group of individuals who still actively, or occasional play on Second Age. The rares-museum castle was not altered, only the ownership changed hands, as it was stated that he wanted to keep the castle in its current form for all of the players on Second Age to be able to view. So, in short, giving your possessions away to other players is not a legal act, and will result in the accounts involved being banned, without any warning at all & no factual evidence at all necessary to make this decision.
Events like these are specifically related to why there are very few veterans who continue to play on Second Age, because the administration will ban you at the very moment an opportunity arises. Clearly they had already received sufficient funds from his monthly subscriptions, which were abruptly ended back when the forum moderators (not staff) were abusing their privileges to view detailed information of the paypal/donation logs. Even to this very day, the forum moderators can view all of your IP addresses, even petty moderators such as those for single guild-forums.
Long story short, this is Derrick's server and if he didn't want any of us playing here, he could have easily just said "fuck you" and banned the accounts, that's really not an issue. However instead of just being forth-right, they went about doing it in a shady way, and basically made up new rules/policy on the spot as sufficient evidence to justify a ban, so that the integrity of the server didn't take a hit.
