RE: Apologizes to the server
No one said that aries couldn't stay or that we didn't want him around nor anything about waiting for a future action to "get rid of him" or anything of the sort. I had, in fact, nothing against aries personally beforehand, I encountered him occasionally while playing and can't recall any problems between us, as for now I'd say I am quite displeased with his gross lack of judgment, but I do not harbor any particular hatred toward him.
Not all previous "account banned" people decided to leave, many stayed and worked hard to regain what they had lost as punishment. We do take previous offenses into account, but that doesn't mean it's a trap, real justice system works like that too, if the person learns from their mistake and behaves well they have nothing to fear.
My own feeling were in fact not mixed up, especially since the decision was taken by the rest of the team, since it was aimed directly at me I asked them to decide and then agreed on their sentence.
Perhaps we have been more leniant long ago, but we got reproached for it, by the same people who now reproach us of being too severe. We want to provide a good environment for the players, thus why we deal with rulebreakers who tarnish that environment for others.
@Ayu unrelated to this matter, but wth 30% cut? Hardly, we saw a small change in number and then the server continued to grow afterwards.
In this particular case I'm the one who told aries to make an apology, when he asked "what he could do", thus making the "but he apologized" point a little moot since it didn't completely come from him, although he did show desire to rectify things. Unfortunately an apology doesn't erase an offense.
As for the "hack" on Aries' account, proper checks were made, and no external IP accessed his account, so whatever happened to his item/exp was done by someone in house either if he left his ro window unattended or if sibling/friend at this house had his info, thus it does not fall into the category of hack. We repeatedly asked information about items of significance so we could track where they went but never got an answer.
I actually contacted Aries a few days ago about these recent events wanting to talk to him about it, but my message went unanswered, if he or the other 2 banned people in the same case have something to say they can let it be known, our pm box and support ticket are opened, but for now that's enough for everyone unrelated to the case. Thanks everyone for your input, be assured that we did read all feedback thoroughly.
