Wait a min, they aren't banning all houses with bod vendors are they? Last I knew that was stated legal by the dev team... I hope there is a way to tell if they have been scripted or obtained legit or else I'm going to have to take my bod vendors down!
[/ QUOTE ]
It's fairly obvious that they are scripter houses, unless you've got millions of gems, hundreds of millions of the different resource types, etc... I don't think you'll have to worry much
I hope they hit the barbed kit vendors and the valorite runic hammer vendors that are on every shard as well.

Draconi,
Please leave those plots burning forever to serve as a reminder for players that were banned, current players, and future players.

I disagree. Placing should eventually be allowed so honest players can benefit from selling their wares in Luna.

I'm sure Draconi would do one person's holdings at a time to make sure he cleaned that person out before he moves on to the next one. I'm sure he's got a hell of a demolition schedule planned.

I love how everyone on Cats and on here seem to think this is some big beginning to mass bannings of cheaters when realistically, it will most likely be the same thing that happens every time EA does something like this... they make a big theatrical show of it or boast about how they removed 4billion gold and do nothing for another 2 years while these people just come back and do the same things again.
Granted, it would be nice to see changes happen and them start cracking down on cheaters, but I'm not getting my hopes up due to the likelihood of EA actually following through with something, judging by a long past of disappointments.

[/ QUOTE ]Incorrect. The first house to go up in flames was NOT owned by the "known scripter/broker". It was owned by one of Napa's own, who had in fact recently peppered Fel Yew Gate with duped fountain deeds. The 2nd house on Napa (which is not on fire yet, sadly, but the vendors have been stripped) WAS that of the "known scripter/broker".

Lets see...I would give all of the gold I had in UO to get rid of scripters and cheaters. Maybe think that this is a positive change despite you getting burned by it?

Just occured to me ... we have chocolate for V-day, right? We have campfires blossoming throughout the land. All we need are graham crackers and marshmallows!

It's one of the risks you take when you vow never to use a smiley again.
On topic, I think this is great. Not only the actual happening but the creative freedom involved.

I wonder if this is the 'Live Event Content'.
And I'm very happy to see this, but I'm somewhat taken back.
I know the owners just sitting back and laughing. How many years? How much $$$ would have been made? If I were in that possition, I wouldn't be upset, I would be laughing my head off.
Now, if they can keep thins like this from being setup, let alone for the time they have been, I will have faith.

After noticing those identical-on-ever-shard houses with the BODs and resources were getting cleared out fast, I checked the one on Baja. I wonder if they'll all explode the same too
