Earlier that day, SnowWhite was pissed when an unsolicited information was posted in the SnowCity thread. This information was from Neji, guild leader of Rebirth. Neji blatantly alleged that SnowWhite was cheating on its guild members by withholding the reward prize for guild creation and using it for his personal consumption.
Personally, that post would have been enough to call the attention of SnowCity members and to discuss it among themselves. But the intention to besmirch Snowy's reputation became apparent when Neji took it further by repeatedly flooding the world chat about this issue in such a way that could really really piss anyone off.
Consequently, Snow pked Neji. But this did not deter Neji. He went on proclaiming his allegations and unabashed insults to Snow. The latter really pissed now, issued an order to kill all rebirth. Angel, Grandmaster, Snow and i think, a minor participation of DeadlyPinoy actively engaged all rebirth in battle.
Rebirth suffered. But Neji persisted on insulting Snow. And so, the pk activity went on for
several hours. It only stopped when the Game Master pmed Snow to stop. Snow issued order to cease the attack.
I thought the issue already died down. Only to find out that later that day, when the characters of the four participants from SnowCity logged off in order to recuperate, a certain person logged in Snow's char and disbanded the guild. The culprit cursed on the world chat while doing this. To make the story short, the culprit took away from Snow, Angel, Deadly, and Grandma everything... from equipments to
pets, gold.. everything. The "hacker" substantially narrated what he is doing and what he plans to do (Angel was able to save his
pet because he begged the hacker not to).
Then a certain character named SnowTiger entered the scene, convinced Xia to train him in order to
get to flea market. When he got to the designated level, he went to the flea market cursing the alleged hacker about what happened. The real SnowWhite logged in using his vendor. Snowtiger on the other hand, fled the scene.
Complaints were filed, questions and opinions were thrown at the gm. One distinguishing response which SnowWhite firmly hold on to is when the gm in responded to him that the GM himself logged in the account and did all these. The GM laughed. However, the Gms later adopted the contention that an unidentified hacker did this. At some point, the gm accused Snow as the one who hacked the others.
The people now are confused and scared. there are so many questions left unanswered and must be addressed to pacify these troubled minds. Who was the perpetrator of the crime? To what extent should the gm intercede in a player's affairs? Is pk not allowed? What is the penalty for such violations if indeed a rule such as this exists? Is putting up an act like that so necessary?
I believe GMs should elucidate us about these things. if not, we are seriously playing in dangerous grounds, a place where mere whims or whines of somebody could cost you your hard earned stuff and cash.
