Funny. And they probably wont get caught.

With the game down, whoever still has a char in eq 1, Adventure night is tonight at 9:00pm est.

Could they be alts? How would you go about checking?
Exciting time tonight for Guild Hunt, lots of fun.
Sylphan has done most everything else and now finally working on his epic
We joined a raid and slew the dragon to help out. Then time for a DON in the "Accent" fun place it was and a good group we had also.

while trying to find out why the update this morning I found this on the EQ2 forums...

The EQ2 servers were brought down Sunday afternoon for an unscheduled update. Unfortunately the downtime ended up being around 2.5 hours, longer than was anticipated. We apologize for disrupting your weekend play.

As many have noticed, a dupe exploit surfaced that caused visible disruption in the economies of the servers. This bug has been fixed, and the offending accounts have been banned and their ill-gotten currency removed from the game.

The wealth rankings on EQ2Players will update automatically over the next couple days and should then be back to normal.

If you own an account that you feel was banned erroneously, please contact our customer service department for assistance. We cannot respond to account issues on the boards.

Again, we regret impacting your gameplay, especially on a weekend. We hope you understand that protecting the integrity of the game is a matter of great concern for us.

Most of those very young wealthy folks were created August 5 or 6. To make the Wealthiest 100 in less than 2 days... I'm not gona say Impossible, but definetly improbable. Guilded folks could be Guild Banks, but most of these folks were Unguilded.

You would think the only way it would be possible is if they were a high level tradeskiller and even then to get that high in 2 days is crazy...

As for guild banks... why would anyone create one now when the expansion comes out Sept. 12 and we'll have a vault? I mean, yeah I thought about it and considered it just so I could unload some of the stuff some of you have warned me about that way I'm not completely swamped.. lol.. but to actually do it is another thing
