    As someone who used to play Lineage II, this really makes me smile.

    I remember killing oblivious gold bots and risking 'PK' status and negative karma, just out of anti-bot spite.

    But this - this is far more fitting.

    y'know, i haven't read that in years, and though i followed it for a few years, i'm not entirely sure i'd made it all the way through the archives. still, Bun-Bun is not a character you forget. good on you.

    Note to those who object to my use of the label "classical music" -- classical music is determined by style, not by how old the piece of music is. Ergo, I stand by calling Emilie Autumn's work tasteful classical music.

    One of my most terrifying experiences was in FFXI. When you get banned a GM teleports you to a very frightening cell under the main city. Then a guy in flaming red armor materializes and tells you you've been very very bad, then asks you nicely to log out.

    Truly horrifying.

    @Malfunktion v2: I dunno. When you're using FleeTool to run across a zone at ridiculous speeds and then a GM shows up behind your character running at the same speed and waves to you . . . That's a little bit more frightening than the teleportation to Mordion Gaol that follows.

    See, now what would be _really_ cool is if after you've been banned, a small animal appears in your place, and continues to randomly wander around doing small animal things. Maybe leave it wandering around a month or so to let people know you won't be coming back. They could be extra cruel and let you continue to sign on as that character, but not actually control the animal. All you'd be able to do is ride along inside its eyes.

    I liked the way a SGM could ban you in FF11. Pity it was almost unheard of them to act.

    I often fear the banhammer right here on Kotaku. Some of my posts could be misinterpreted as fanboy because I take serious issue with a lot of Microsofts policies (IE, paying for material you have already paid for) compared with Nintendo's and Sony's policies (IE, not paying for online gaming).

    I'm also quite passionate about clarifying our rights as a digital customer (content licensee vs content owner) , sometimes to the point where my frustration with the current system makes me out to be a conspiracy breathing nut job.

    I would be truly devastated to be banned from Kotaku especially as I hear there is no appeal process. Hopefully if the sad day comes that I am struck with the hammer it will only knock of my star and give me a chance to earn my way back.

    @Mike Newlad: There is nothing wrong with having disagreements with a companies (or industries) policies, so long as you can accept that there is an opposite end to the spectrum. I actually highly approve of xbox live even with the price tag, I feel like with the revenue it pulls in they are better able to maintain a quality control for the subscribers. But I can see your points and know it's just not for everyone.

    @Mike Newlad: Don't sweat it too much - just don't make a comment mocking someone for their appearance, don't criticize Kotaku editors for what they post, and try to contribute something meaningful - insead of "____ sucks," explain why. By following those rules I've kept out of trouble for a few years running.

    Huh - I missed this one. Happened to me a couple times in a match and I had no idea what had happened to me.

    Heh. Totally would have reported the sunuva if I had know.

    Snitchomatic, I am (when it comes to XBL).
