Brand new player Never played OSI, gets given a free disk, Hey get ya arse into this game I will set ya up m8! come on!!
Brand new player gets offered that sort of cash for a house that was given to him/her.
They arnt stupid, they are new, and not aware that the server has soem people with very low morals on it.
I have done that a few times over the past months, only a couple have taken me up on it. So dont say it does not happen.
Noah's Ark said:No one "deserves" to get scammed. Telemarketers take advantage of the misfortunate and elderly all the time, doesn't mean they deserved it. There are loosers in this game just like real life..and for that you have to beware.

Survival of the fittest. I was never stupid enough to do anything like that when i was new to UO.
And when people do, they learn from their mistakes. It's just UO, it's not real at all, it's not like he's now evicted and living out of a trash can.
If he quits the server, no big deal. He was stupid anyway, and we have enough stupid people in this playerbase as it is.
The effects of a minor scam like that isn't going to cause mass hysteria and make everyone quit the server, so it's really not a big deal as some of you are making it out to be.

That there is crossing a fine line, scamming... is scamming, its easy to prevent if you think ahead.. getting hacked, well if you're stupid ( again think ahead) you'll give out your pw.. but if someone is desprate enough I'm sure they could "hack" using some pw cracking app. If they use an app of somesort, there is absolutly nothing you can do, except hope the fool didn't use an ip spoof. So, you can get his account banned.Rogueci5 said:So you would not mind at all if tomorrow somebdoy hacked into your account and deleted every thing in it?
Now I know I would not really care, but I would be annoyed at the time lost. And its not real life no, but acting like an A**hole in game reflects on your RL morals.
And I think the loss of players from the server is bad, because it Reflects on the server, I have lost count of the boards that say "UO Gamers?? no they are a bunch of A** HOLES!! man stear clear!!
