There is nothing in the rules that says I cannot create a new account, I was just curious if lately they had been unbanning people to get more money coming in.



Yes. Mythics last resort is to un-ban all the cheaters who have ever played, just to create a revenue to keep DAOC alive. IMHO, if you were caught hacking\cheating. You should be IP Range banned forever. Fortunately for you, I do not work for Mythic.

IP bans are *NEVER EVER* a good idea... for any reason...

IPs are not unique per person, they change constantly, and some people are behind proxies or shared IPs ... (most aol users share with up to 100 other aol users)

and then theres ipv4 -> ipv6 gateway... if someone is using ipv4 and the target end (mythic) runs ipv4... mythic would only see the ipv4-ipv6 gateway... so banning the address will ban all users of ipv6 from that ISP....

if someone bans my ip address.. i'll just rotate to one of my others (i have 1 dynamic, 4 static) or i'd just release the dynamic one and let comcast re-asign me a new one...

either way.... ip bans are pointless.. they dont realy ban anyone... and they have the potential to cause massive collatoral damages...

one of the big IRC networks accidently IP banned all of canada once.. it was hilarious....

Whats wrong with cheaters coming back? It's not like the software works anymore so they wouldn't be able to use it.

Well someone cheating impacts their ability to have fun, so he's got a right to care about cheaters. That being said, trying to be e-tough on a message board and make fun of someone is pretty lame too, so...yeah. No better then the OP.
