Hey there, make sure you haven't left out any IGNs you are actively playing.

To ensure that your case is handled to the best of our ability I'm counting on your cooperation when answering the following:

• You have a very impressive forum buy and purchase history starting from Jan 6, 2021, how were you able to fund buying and selling such items despite creating an account not so long ago on August 13, 2020?

Hi Dasha,


The first character I created was Skumbag, my first NL which I deleted upon realisation that HP washing was pretty much mandatory. Skumbag was used primarily as a merch mule until I wanted to reuse my main IGN for my shadower and deleted the account because I did not want to pay RP for a name change.


The second day of playing this server, I gached a 111 ST from NLC, which can be found in my previous forum screenshots. I wasn’t even able to use the super megaphone at this point in time. This was able to get me started in buying and selling random items I found from FM or merchant shops.



My goal as a new player was to make around 500 mil daily after a couple of weeks of playing, which consisted of selling silvermane ETC sets, selling leech, multiple APQ runs, heartstopper farming, and merching.


To detail the funds I had to wash my first NL (mintjelly) to 16k HP; I had 160 base int until level 180. This required a lot of runs being carried by my real life friends and guild mates from Fendi. During this time, I won an Ice Flower from Russian Roulette by GM June. With the money I gained from the sale, I decided to all in and scroll a couple of items. I was able to scroll a 80 att red craven (sold to Skelarr in game) and 14 att FS (upgraded to 15 att later). I don’t think a 16k HP NL with 3k MP is hard to achieve at all at level 198.


To fund my washing on Aave (3rd NL) and Skumbag (Shadower), I received a large amount of funding from said real life friends who quit. I started Royals with a group of over 10 friends (imaryyjanee, redbeanpaste, xroy, hwann, sinp, shinobixd, luckycrit, magiccolor, jvan0314, ts5795354, urekmaziino, khunran, purplethanos, iscearn, holyboi and more) who stopped playing. Out of these 10 friends, we won a Flower Crown (xroy/hwann), Sachiel Sword (jvan0314/ts5795354), and Ice Flower (myself) from RR all tagged by June. The group that started with me no longer play the game and gave me a considerable amount of funding in the form of gached items, APR, random equips, etc. A few of them still continue voting just for fun to CS and pass me some of the items if I happen to be on the group discord at the time.





I also received a large amount of gifts from guild members who no longer play. I was given a large sum of items prior to Loopy’s ban. He passed me his sets of balanced furies (8) and a borrowed RC before he was banned. Sojubeiiy, yunbi, RichardKim, and a few others still log in occasionally to check in and talk. They have still been voting and would pass me APRs or items if I wanted them. I was also given a free 9 att sock from Minh (pandahero2) for giving him a CS for the last slot since he wasn’t playing anymore.


I got lucky with scrolling a couple of big ticket items: 18 dex spec goggles (Sold to @SolarSystem), 2 22 gloves (Sold to Benu and one was downgraded in game so I could fuel my scolling addiction), 20 cape (15/4 screenshot on forums and the 20 att was traded for a 18/2 which turned to 13 att L) and a 21 FS (Sold to @geybrian). The current 16 att BFC is not mine and belongs to @chikyubi, which was mentioned in my sale post, to pay off a loan of hers during her self ban. I also received 5 bil loan from @chikyubi for a 22 BWG which I bought from forums and downgraded to a 21 att SCG to pay off loans for the recent CS/WS fails. With the sale of the 21 FS I bought a 95/19 DPS from (@willekrona) and a 18 att RS from (Thickie in game). I CSSed the 18 RS and scrolled it for a 19 att sock.


While I was given a lot of mesos, I also earned a considerable amount myself from bossing, merching, selling skele leech, farming, and grinding a lot of the events. I was doing 3-5 APQ runs, quad CWK and quad HT (sold 9+ MW during the bonus EXP event) on a daily basis. I pretty much lived on Royals for the last couple of months and it’s rather demoralizing knowing that the hard work I put into this server leads to an unwarranted ban. Thank you for your time and please let me know if you require additional information from me.

 

I hope we both can have a productive conversation because so far I didn't really get a clear answer to the questions I asked you.

You have created your account on August 13, 2020, This means you had 265 days to fund your bishop, mage, HP washing two NLs (16k HP and 24k HP) and a Shad (24k HP), your gear set 19 WA sock (downgrade from 21 WA shoe), 21 BWG (downgrade from 22 WA), 16 BFC (downgrade from 20 WA), 95/19 DPS, skill books and untradable items. Please answer the questions below as well as conducting a timeline from when you first joined until today so I can have a better understanding of your time management.

• When have you made your bishop and mage? What maps did you sell leech on? What characters did you use to mega for buyers? How often and how many hours of leech do you estimate to sell overall?
• What type of funding did you get from your friends besides the Flower crown and Sachiel sword? You mentioned a discord group and assuming you all play together there must be many conversations and them discussing passing some of these items to you! Could you please attach a few screenshots of such conversations?
• When has Loopy traded you the balanced furies and RC? When have you been gifted a free 9 WA FS? Any screenshots of these trades?
• On what date you have scrolled the following: 18 dex specs, 2 22 WA gloves, 20 WA cape, and F1 fs, and how many WS and CS you have used in the process of scrolling each of those items? Who did you buy them from and for how much?

I would like to assure you that if this ban is indeed unwarranted it would be lifted, With that being said I need you to answer these questions before I forward this to the admins.

Thank you for your time.

None of my bishop/mage gear belong or was purchased by me, they're full 'borrowstory' or gifted. To clarify, the 16 ATT BFC is not mine and I'm selling it for a friend as mentioned in my for sale post on the forums.

Here's a rough timeline of my playtime on Royals:

I joined sometime in August slightly before my forum join date by creating the account 'Skumbag' a nightlord that was then deleted a while later to reuse the name for a future character. During this time, I participated in the anniversary event every 4 hours to make money as a noob. I would also farm NX from area bosses on a timer to gach and buy/sell items to merch as a beginner to the server. During the first 1-3 weeks of starting the server I only made 100-500m daily. I was also able to gach a 111 ST mentioned previously which sold for 2.5B+.

I created a mage shortly after to farm/make additional income on. The two accounts were married so I could APQ twice a day. I've farmed over 4000+ apples in total with the help of the valentines event and 7-8 married characters total. Many people can vouch for this. During the APQs I would also stopper farm on my mages to generate some extra income simultaneously while APQing. At this point I was generating roughly 500m a day from miscellaneous farming methods such as selling silvermane sets, farming, selling ulu leech, merching, participating in events, etc.

Once I reached a higher level I was doing daily HTs when it was still profitable. The logs should show a considerable amount of MW20s, GEN30s, and TT30s sold or having splits received for by party members. I was also doing daily duo/trio zak to get better helms and ended up looting a decent amount of chaos scrolls and GEN20s. I also ran a quad CWK daily with my guildmates to receive either 1m to 3b worth of items. I have always been chaos scrolling with the splits I received and scrolled a 14 att BFC as my first cape I scrolled from a 5 att BFC from CWK. At this point I was farming, merching, 2 HTs, CWKs, 2+ APQs daily. I was also borrowing gear from my friends and guildmates at the time which can be found in the trade logs from players I can provide IGNs for if needed.

As mentioned, I won an iceflower from RR and used that to scroll my 14 ATT FS (later upgraded to 15) and some scuffed ROAs (received clean as partial payment for iceflower). With the remaining mesos I received I scrolled an 80 ATT craven (4B).

Later on, I started selling leech or farming instead of APQing as often because it was more efficient in generating mesos (I still APQed because I found it more relaxing to do). At this point I was amounting more than 500m daily. At this point during one of my daily CWK runs I found a 4/7 spec goggle and scrolled it with chaos scrolls and it became 18 dex which I sold for 20B. With this extra money I decided to scroll 4 SCGs and 2 of them were 10/4. I ended up finishing the gloves and selling them to use the money for merching.

During this time I was saving for a new cape and saved around 30-40B in scrolls/items for just my cape. Instead of buying one I decided to scroll 9/10 att BFCs which can be found from my trade logs with different users. In the end, I scrolled a 20 att cape and the rest of the capes were scuffed and sold for cheap which can be found in the logs.

Continuing to farm on and earn money on a daily basis I was working on buying/scrolling a shoe. I ended up saving 20b or so and decided to scroll some FS and buy 7/4 FS. I was able to scroll a 21 att FS and it was a much more expensive item in comparison to the other items in my item set so I decided to sell this for 90B in mesos/cs/ws. With this money I was able to upgrade the RC to a DPS and buy a new shoe.

I was still grinding, selling leech, farming until around 2 days before my ban at this point I am generally making 1-2B daily. During this time I was taking loans to scroll more and take chances on upgrading my att set. Unfortunately, the scrolling ended up going downhill and I had to downgrade the 22 glove to a 21 to pay for some CS/WS loans as well as having my cape go to 13 att. The other loans I usually took on I paid back around a rate of 2B per day from selling leech/farming/merchant shop. All of this did not account for the other gifts of equips/APRs/gach items from my friends as well.

When have you made your bishop and mage? What maps did you sell leech on? What characters did you use to mega for buyers? How often and how many hours of leech do you estimate to sell overall?

I don't know the exact date I made my bishop and mage, but it was months ago. I believe a GM or admin can check this information easily. I'm banned and cannot login to my accounts to view the first quest I completed. I sold leech on ulu2 before moving on to sell leech at skeles. The characters used to mega for buyers was a mix of all my characters; many of them were whispers to buyers from smegas as well. To pay off my loans I often leeched 5+ hours a day at skeles and can get vouches from guildmates and buddylist. This amounted to 700m-2b worth of mesos gained on these days.

What type of funding did you get from your friends besides the Flower crown and Sachiel sword? You mentioned a discord group and assuming you all play together there must be many conversations and them discussing passing some of these items to you! Could you please attach a few screenshots of such conversations?

The funding was through APRs, gach items, and most of their equips. This can be found if an admin reviews the trade/drop logs from my friend's account as listed previously. As a collective group we are on voice chat as mentioned previously and we do not use discord to type out messages except pinned posts/announcements. If you want, I can ask them to login to their accounts at the same time or something organized.

When has Loopy traded you the balanced furies and RC? When have you been gifted a free 9 WA FS? Any screenshots of these trades?

Prior to his ban I was borrowing Loopy's DPS / att set and he passed me a craven to use instead when passing a DPS back to him (which was then banned on his account shortly after I passed it back). An admin can find logs of this trade as he has traded me and passed me items to borrow on multiple occasions. This was a 9 ATT RS not FS and was traded to me after passing them a chaos scroll to finish the last slot on Jan 15th. (I only found this date because it happened to be on discord)



On what date you have scrolled the following: 18 dex specs, 2 22 WA gloves, 20 WA cape, and F1 fs, and how many WS and CS you have used in the process of scrolling each of those items? Who did you buy them from and for how much?

I'm really not sure what sane person would track and screenshot all their scrolled items? Can't an admin look and see the CS/WS scrolls I bought? I've bought 100s in total for scrolling / avoiding taxes and it will be in the logs. This would be from trades with multiple characters and shops in the FM. I've had guildmates and friends on my buddylist watch many of my scrolled items while I was scrolling them. Should every player be recording their scrolling and taking screenshots of every single transaction done in the FM? If so, please put that as a requirement to play in the T&Cs of playing this server.

Here are some of the screenshots I sent to my guildmates I could find before all of them quit.





What are the point of logs if no one is going to check them? I appreciate your time Dasha and understand you can't check the logs yourself. Can you please provide me what the evidence for this ban is so I can prove my innocence?

 

Hi Tim,

A portion of the apples were sold on my previous merch mule 'Skumbag' before I deleted it to remake a character with the same name to save RP. The rest of the apples were sold on 'mintjelly' either in the FM, people smegaing, merch shop, or used as trades for WS/CS/APR or top up in trades to avoid taxes.

The amazing collector on 'mintjelly' was mainly farmed through the NX hunting I mentioned previously, with area bosses the 150 cards needed to obtain the medal were relatively easy. 'Aave' was able to get the Master collector (250) medal in around 4-5 days of grinding on my mages and I farmed on and off for the latter 150 needed to finish it off. A couple of friends and guildmates from 'Cozy' helped in the process to make it a bit easier.

Please let me know if you have any other questions

 

Hi Dasha/Tim,

Is there any update on this? It’s been a couple of days since I last heard from either of you.

 

Hey there, The investigation is still ongoing so please avoid bumping your appeal.

 

Hi Tim,

I've explained the reasoning for my surge of items/net worth above in a lengthy post. The night lord was already washed at that point in time. I don't think it's fair to wait 2 weeks for a response when I've done nothing wrong. Could you please explain the evidence or concrete reasoning for the ban?

 

Honestly disappointing to hear that it doesn't add up to you as someone who has never RWTed. I've spent countless hours grinding and just because I was gifted items and helped by friends I'm banned. It would've been better to not accept any items from anyone I suppose. I highly recommend any of the newer players reading this to just screenshot/record anything you do as it seems the GMs here only want to believe what they think. This server truly is a place where it caters to casual players.
