| They've been cheating so long that they don't know anything else. They think cheating is the default state. They're the kind of people to look up cheats for a game before even buying it. |

| OK, I guess I owe Defiant an answer to his question about why I helped Quincey (aka: Dirty Q) for all those years..... It really amazes me that NOBODY ever seemed to figure out that it was ME that was helping Quincey all those years. And yes Quincey tried to kill my character too...EVERY single time....even as I was dropping the next full set of quest gear for him he was attacking me the whole time trying to kill me to take ALL my gear. But he never successfully killed me even once because I never let my defences down...particularly against Dirty Q. As to WHY I helped him despite being publicly known as the generous and kind player and ALSO openly helping all of his victims by giving them replacement gear too? Well, you sort of answered that with your own last post, Defiant. Within hours of starting just about any HAT and despite clearing maps utterly solo, I was already in a full set of max quest gear. And over the next few days I just piled up dozens more full sets rattling around in all my mule characters too. I quickly got bored on that HAT. And you yourself said the bogus Kray story in this very forum thread was entertaining even if it was nothing but a string of lies, fabrications, and untruths. The key was that it was at least entertaining. The comedy that ensued and the utter rage that Quincey evoked in all his victims was absolutely classic. The flamings Quincey got on the Lith forum and the real and genuine rage he created in those people (over an online computer game mind you) were just epic. I could not have bought entertainment like that for thousands of dollars.....and yet I was getting it all for free simply by gearing Quincey up AGAIN in secret so he could go out and wreak his havoc and dirty plunder once again. And I got to watch it all unfold LIVE. The forum posts that his antics produced alone were priceless. Knowing that I was his secret supplier was the icing on that cake....and somehow nobody ever figured it out presumably because I was super careful to drop him gear either on an unpopulated map or hide it behind a tree and then tell him where to go find it. I mean there were upwards of 15 other players on the HAT while I was giving Quincey his next full set of quest gear almost every single time.....hahaha. Them was fun days indeed. Hahaha....Dirty Q!!! |

| 1) So Gray Fox, you have your answer.....any gear which the Krays didn't get is by their definition "hacked". 2) Btw, any gear which had a mere "+1" for the bonus (even say health +1) but had about 5 or 6 such magic stats would crash the unpatched client. Really it was governed by the number of on-screen display lines the item took....so pikes already take more base lines because they have attack bonus plus they also have a line adding to defence. If memory serves, the limit was about 9 lines of item description and more than that would crash the unpatched client (note that there IS a patch to fix that crashing). So for a hypothetical example: HEALTH +1 seven times (for a measly net health +7) would thus be deemed as HACKED gear by this definition whereas one single magic adder of "defence +255" or "body +30" would not be deemed hacked because that would NOT crash your client program (but is a HELL of a lot more powerful). 3) Stone Curse for one minute....big whoopidy doop.....even using an unpatched (unmodified) ROM2 game you can get 100% resistance to ALL FIVE magic types which lasts for almost 2 hours...mage casting resistance at skill level 255 (and there is NO way for your opponent to remove your resistance other than killing you). If that level of defensive capability is built into the stock game, how in the nine layers of hell can you consider stone curse of a mere one minute duration to be "cheating" or "hacked"? 100% res to earth magic means you are entirely 100% IMMUNE to the Stone Curse spell. And 98% resistance means the spell duration is cut by 98%, so one minute duration would be cut to just a hair over one second. You see, THAT's why magic resistance (particularly earth magic resistance) is considered to be so crucial as a defense strategy if you dare to consider yourself in any way a veteran or an expert at this game. 4) Lastly, the "hack" you're talking about to spawn all those Urds is simply invoking the single player cheat mode while on server play (something which is quite EASILY done, btw). It is also EASY to utterly disable the cheat mode entirely by anyone running their own HAT server (FYI....I publicly distributed the anti-GM Hack patch something like 7 years ago for this very purpose and NightFyre was the FIRST person HAT admin that I sent my patch to). This "hack" is commonly referred to as the "GM HACK" simply because your character now has Game Master (or god like) powers in the game. Anything that is possible to do or to have in ROM2 you can do or have simply by typing the correct syntax in your chat window. Spawning all those Urds was mild compared to what NightFyre COULD have done to you. He simply typed "summon 55 Urd" and 55 Urds would spawn from nowhere and be under his character's command. But he could just as easily have typed the command "kill Kray" and the character named "Kray" would have instantly dropped dead on the spot and no matter how much health Kray had. Or type "kill all" and EVERY SINGLE thing on the map except the one who typed that command instantly drops dead. Follow that with "pickup all" and you now instantly have the loot from every single bag that was on the map (literally EVERBODY's entire gear). Want to see some REAL GM hacking fun on a server.....have multiple players who have invoked the GM HACK dueling it out. You talk about utter chaos.....hahaha!!! Racing each other trying to hit the space bar to be alive again so you can beat the other guys to typing "kill all". Hahahaha!!!! Well, it's fun for about 5 minutes anyway (obviously not so much for the innocent bystanders on the HAT at the time). |

| Those "One off event maps" were used to distribute hacked gear to players other than The Krays. That was their sole purpose. They always conveniently disappeared whenever we came online. The gear from those very exclusive events was absolutely broken in terms of stats and effects, so much so that it would crash your game just to hover your mouse over it. NightFyre was making shit like pikes which could turn you to stone for an entire minute if touched by it once and handing it out to his cronies. Still couldn't beat us, somehow. Like I said, he also used some kind of hack to spawn several hundred Urds all over a map which we were on. Barthos took them all out and then slaughtered Nightfyre, but it was another absolute, undeniable instance of cheating. |

| Going by your idea of hack, Zinko, the very quest gear is a hack -- because it defies the standard rules in effect throughout the rest of the game. Which is where you implicitly contradict yourself. In fact, can you explain me how was the "prize gear" (let us call it that) from those events any more hacked than the quest gear that you have accepted to play with when you joined the server? -fox |

| lol... cool story bro... I actually do remember what happened on that hat and the gm hack did happen there but it was only the Russians at the time who knew it.. I remember al Russians being banned except ff.. maybe? (and after that he made 3 teams (ultima,clns and darkness) with one team for the Russians (M@rmezetk@ i believe one was called), had lots of fun with them they where way better then the western players! they also helped me get started on the Russian server (very hard!!) anyway.... The Krays where new to the game, and even though they were new.. they kept yapping over their legendary hero guy.. ( he was one of them btw... but lets "make believe" he was real) He was killed very fast...because the krays basically didn't understand the game; The problem as Nova hinted was that they did not understand quest gear and accused everyone who had it as cheaters... We all know how crazy strong the quest gear became on that hat; but not for everyone; the hardest horror maps are to this day i believe still not totally beaten (or perhaps we did it once or something...) but very difficult! and a lot of fun! (I have to admit i really like NF's almost completely new set of maps! and thinking back i might have insulted him quite a bit, and for that if you are reading i apologize.) Nightfyre at one point was getting bored with his own maps though and started to make one off "event" maps with unique maps and items, i remember an eastern map or something... not the best but it gave a nice distraction... and also still no cheating... (there was no need for it after all...) oh.. and i never got hacked gear from him even though we were rom2 "friends". As for your imaginary battle ... It didn't happen..sorry.. The only battle i remember on the shop map was one with the Russians and someone? we where out questing in horror when a cry for help came on msn! (lol) so we ( 2-3 players headed to the shops and started some battles but the Russians had way worse gear then us.. (but a lot more tricks!) i believe we killed one and couldn't get the other ones.. Also I'm quite sure Q killed you guys a million times.. and even Nova or me stepping in to stop him... (Quincy was a brilliant pker/bag stealer/backstabber with no honor to speak of (in the game off-course) (except maybe his weak spot for nova?) He either didn't care for quest maps and questing or he wasn't good at it... but he didn't need to be.. because he was very good at finding "lost" bags in quest maps :) and accidentally blessing and invissing spiders...) (lol and brilliant clan name | POLICE ... Classic. And Killing Nova? yeah sure.. Nova (thnx for the compliment btw NOVA!) was probably the best quester in the game..ever (a lot better then me i admit).. before you guys where in medium Nova would be in Horror.. when you finally mad it to horror, nova would have cleared it all and gotten bored and started helping Quincy (for some reason?..perhaps he enjoyed the mischievous behavior of Q? (would like to know Nova :) ) As for killing James or Steckle (waddup!!!)..so what? they were just getting started back then... if it even happened.. anyway James (Tool?) did not quit.. we played on loads more hats after that... But i must admit, like Quincy you guys (zinko and P.w) where funny with your bold story's of bertho (or something), we got a lot of entertainment out of that... nice job, and i mean it! A lot more happened.. and i might have made some errors here and there... forgot to mention some important people in that story... its a long time ago. good times. I still play games with friends (couch co-op mostly) with nice graphics, smooth game-play, endless action, open world etc,, but their has never been a game before or after that i enjoyed more than rom2, in no small part thanks to all the very friendly people I've had the honor to play with (some of who are sadly no longer among us). Perhaps I'm the only one but I've had nights where we would just talk and have some good conversations and barely played the actual game ( its called skilling...duh) Ahh...Good Memory's, Defiant |

| That also reminds me of the time Nova dropped loads of little bags around a clearing. He kept typing "HAHAHA" and no one knew why. We just thought he was setting up a trade of dropping unwanted loot. Then everyone realised that he had just used bags to draw a massive swastika on the ground. He seemed to think it was hilarious. Questionable morals to say the least. |

| I remember Nova getting called out for cheating with that beard. Rather than admit he was cheating or that there was anything wrong with that, he simply said, "Life is unfair without facial hair", as if that's any kind of excuse. Life isn't fair, but it's nothing to do with facial hair. Look at the Native Americans. Can't really grow beards, but that's not why they got their country taken. They live on reservations now and have huge alcohol problems in their communities, but their lack of facial hair is genetic. They can't help it. It's just fucking racist to say it's because they can't grow beards. |

| NF wasn't putting them on maps as drops, he was creating beards with several hundred Body on them and then handing them out to whoever was up against The Krays. For a long while, Nova would brag about doing a full run of maps with his 800 body beard, saying that the levels had been "Cleared by the beard". That's how bad it got. |

| "It's not cheating, everyone does it!" Spoken like a true cheater. The Krays have never resorted to cheating. That's the one thing you can never accuse us of. And there was a Kray HAT, which brings me to another Barthos memory. Nova challenged the entire Kray clan to a fight, any time, anywhere. He said that if he lost, he would pay up (with real money). We told him we didn't want or need his money but accepted the challenge. Anyway, a time and date were picked. The battle was to take place on the Kray HAT. Nova no-showed, probably because it was the first fair server to appear in years. Cheating is cheating. There is no excuse for it. |

| Beard is actually not some new category of wearable items, it's just a necklace looking like a beard. Its portrait in inventory looks like an iron helmet. BTW, it looks ridiculous on anyone but 1 or 2 types of mages (you can choose appearance of your mage during character creation). | ||||

| First, I've little inclination to defend NF (we've had plenty of differences of opinion over the years after all), but regardless what happened on his HAT.... it was HIS HAT. I don't recall the Krays ever hosting a HAT. Hell, even Dirty Q hosted a HAT at one point for crying out loud. If it's your HAT you get to make the rules. Don't like the rules, then don't play there. It's as simple as that. Why cry about it? Second, the definition of "hacked gear" is utterly subjective. Technically, QUEST GEAR could be considered hacked. The multiplayer patch made it possible to have so-called quest gear (i.e. stuff that exceeds the store-bought item magic limits) by assigning the item a price of exactly 2 GP. I would personally suggest, therefore, that the acceptable definition of "hacked" gear has nothing to do with the powers of the item but rather it is gear that was not available to every player as part of the maps in rotation. In other words stuff that was created by the admin (or GM hacker players) and then perhaps handed out to only select individuals on the server. And NF was certainly far from the only one engaging in this sort of favoritism admin behavior. Excepting special Admin challenge rewards, this seems to me to be a legitimate complaint about hacked gear being on a HAT (i.e. stuff that was only available to select players). But as I say, NF had plenty of company running a HAT in such a favoritism fashion. So let's not hold him out as some sort of lone wolf actor. LOTS of HAT admins couldn't resist playing favorites on their HATs (or indeed running around with admin characters to feed their egos). But such is life....get over it. Third, regarding the beard, that item is actually part of the original game for crying out loud (Skraken has the beard). And it's only usable by mages who (btw) are cheated by the game rules into having one less wearable item than warriors can wear that can have magic stats on it. And believe me there are plenty more egregious penalties that mages endure in this game compared to warriors (they don't call it RAGE of mages for no good reason). Having access to a magic beard frankly seems to me at least a partial equalizer factor for mages, therefore. Other than Defiant (who was masterful at playing a mage character, perhaps the absolute BEST ROM2 player to ever play a mage) I would challenge ANYBODY to even try using a mage to PK a warrior. The mage has essentially zero chance period in such a conflict. So give me a break complaining about the mage beard. That's one of the lamest complaints I've ever seen. |

| pretty much covered everything there, i will mention a few details that people seem to have forgot. hacked gear was getting that ridiculous, people actually had stats on a characters beard. NF started handing out hacked gear to everyone but the krays, on an understanding that the krays had to be hunted down and repeatedly killed when ever they were seen on a map. NF continuously lied to every one about the things that were going on, making the barthos and the krays look bad in every way. you all seemed to fall for his bullshite even tho barthos had screenshots of proof. people also beleived the krays to be just one person. if thats the case then barthos is even more of a legend than anyone ever to play rom2. |

| Since I never even played on NF's HAT, I'll leave it to the readers to draw their own conclusions regarding the veracity of all that .... but it was an entertaining read at least. And I'm sure there must be some kernels of truth couched within that yarn. For instance: NF did actually run a HAT for a short while and he was certainly famous for hiding hacked gear on his own characters (though anyone who actually knew him knows that he was never in the habit of handing it out to others). And most of the hacked gear that showed up on NF's HAT probably came from the handful of Russian hackers who were bored during the two weeks that their Russian HAT was offline and decided to have some fun. They nearly ruined NF's HAT with their hacking antics (as any read of the Lith forum posts of the time would demonstrate because the players were threatening to quit unless NF did something about it). Their ruthless hacking continued unabated until the GM-hack (and several other) patches were available. And of course properly hacked gear doesn't actually create a large loot bag on the map. Quite the contrary, in fact, since it's only worth 2 GP. But hey, I enjoy a reading a bit of fiction. -NOVA |

| Perhaps my favourite Barthos memory was the time he exposed cheaters, destroyed a corrupt HAT, and ran NightFyre, red-faced and crying, back to his shitty dwarf on WoW (non-PVP server). It really is one of the greatest stories attached to Rage of Mages 2, and it details arguably the most important chain of events in the history of the game. It began with The Kray domination of the previous main HAT, an event which shocked the player-base to its core. The Krays were relatively new on the block, and yet they had taken absolute control of the HAT, crushing all who stood in their way, especially NOVA. Unable to stop the ascension of The Krays, other plays opted instead to abandon ship. The HAT came to be inhabited only by The Krays, and was subsequently shut down. Most remarkable of all was the fact that The Krays were only two people, Zinko and P.W. Soon The Krays were the talk of the town. The Lith ROM2 forum was set ablaze with speculation. Who were The Krays? Where did they come from? Were they really new players, or old players in disguise? How had they conquered the game so easily despite lacking experience and numbers? The players, convincing themselves that the terms of the previous HAT were unfair, clamoured for revenge. They claimed to be able to defeat The Krays so long as a HAT enforced certain, strict rules. They called for an end to bag stealing as well as an end to PVP in all but horror maps, among other things. Essentially, they demanded that ROM2 become something else so that they may have a fighting chance against The Krays. Enter NightFyre. NF stepped into the fold claiming to be a neutral party. He proposed a “fair” battleground for “The Krays vs Everyone Else”. In fact, the “fair” battleground met every demand “Everyone Else” had made. No bag stealing, no PVP outside of horror and so on. The game was rigged. And then came the trump card. It was at this point that The Krays recruited their third member. Known the world over for his dominance of every game he ever played, Barthos saw a unique challenge in conquering Rage of Mages 2 with the deck stacked against him. The Krays conquered NF's hat soon after. But the story doesn't end there. Hacked gear began to circulate the HAT. Those who opposed The Krays were soon equipped from head to toe in hacked weapons and armour, none more so than Quincey. Someone was cheating, but who? The Krays watched from the shadows as their enemies duped their hacked gear and power levelled. Someone had flooded the game with hacked items, and that someone had been very careful in regards to who received them. Then came the biggest PVP battle in the history of ROM2. Caught trying to dupe hacked gear, Quincey, Defiant, Nova and others were forced into a fight to the death. The fight took place on a shop map, a map which had been designated a non-combat zone. Fearing exposure, the cheating players pounced on Zinko and P.W. with all the wrath of their hacked gear. The fight went all over the map, with Defiant and co. hiding inside the shops whenever things went against them. Quincey, however, was able to keep fighting constantly due to his super hacked gear. His health barely faltered due to his hacked stats, and his damage dealt was far greater than should have been possible. The Krays had to fight a tactical and defensive fight, but ultimately it was a losing battle against a cheating player and his cronies. Then Barthos joined the fight. Down went Defiant. Slaughtered. Down went Nova. Crushed. Down went every other cheating crony except Quincey. His super hacked gear gave him lasting power. It gave him super strength. The fight went all over the map several times over. Zinko, P.W and Barthos against a cheating player with greater stats than those three combined. The battle lasted no less than an hour. Eventually Quincey fell, dropping his bag of hacked goods. Barthos took the hacked items and promptly hid them on another map just before it refreshed. The hacked items were banished. One problem still remained. Who had provided the hacked items? Without finding the source, cheaters could prosper again by way of a new batch. The Krays had to find the culprit. And they did. Not long after the epic shop showdown, Barthos noticed a suspicious number of players on an easy map. He entered to find a naked Quincey there with NF. The two stood still in silence while Barthos surveyed the scene. And then he noticed something. Hidden behind a nearby tree was a huge loot bag. Barthos made a run for it. Inside were dozens of hacked items. The hacker had been found mid-transaction. It was the admin, NightFyre. Exposed and embarrassed, NightFyre again resorted to cheating. He spawned several hundred Urds (Final boss of Rom 2) across the screen and had them attack Barthos. Barthos killed them all. Another HAT conquered. The Lith forums blew up with evidence of corruption and cheating. Suddenly NightFyre had become a scapegoat for every failed battle against The Krays. The players turned on him. They forced him to admit his crimes while sharing none of the blame. It was an embarrassing moment for NightFyre. He had tried, unsuccessfully, to defeat The Krays by cheating, and, worst of all, he had been caught. Now his own friends turned against him. He had destroyed his integrity as an admin. No longer could players join a NightFyre HAT without worrying about cheating and corruption. His reputation was ruined. NightFyre left ROM2 soon after, never to return again. He left in his wake a general air of distrust amongst the player-base. Who could step up as a new HAT admin? Who could be trusted not to cheat? Only The Krays. But that is another story. |

| As we all know, Barthos is the greatest gamer to ever live. We've been lucky to play alongside him, guys like Quincey and Nova have had the great honour of being killed by him, and we're all very thankful that he, alongside The Krays, was able to make ROM2 into a game that actually meant something.
