Reasoning for the ban:Illegal wealth transfer of event character gear.
What happened, in your view:On the night of 27/02/21, I joined in with the Nordic raider event during which I was spawned weapons and armour to play with. Notably of all of the items, a Black Gambeson with Cape was spawned for me to wear. I was told multiple times both personally and generally by Wulf at both the start and end of this event NOT to wealth transfer ANY of the gear spawned. I played out the event alongside everyone else, without wiping my character at the end.
The following morning of 28/02/21, I proceeded to log back on to my event character and transfer the item Black Gambeson with Cape to my main character, Ehri. I had been told very specifically NOT to do this. I had also been told that my logs would be checked following the event to make sure I hadn't wealth transferred anything. Regardless of this, I proceeded in wealth transferring the item to Ehri from Bjorn Shertsson.
I then spent the afternoon and evening of 28/02/21 running around the server finding my various IC and OOC friends. I proceeded to show them all the armour which I had transferred and ask questions such as "epic armour, right?". Everyone thought I was a total fucking idiot. This is all that I really did with the item, I took some screenshots in it also which I uploaded to my Steam profile because I thought it looked cool. Right at the end of the evening, Wulf teleported me to him and was incredibly helpful and clear in explaining to me what I had done and that I was to be banned. It was the most straightforward staff interaction I've ever had.
I honestly do not know what I hoped to gain or was thinking during any of this. I thought it was pretty funny and gave absolutely no thought to the consequences of what I was doing of the effect that it may have, especially on other people such as my friends. I wasn't taking any of it seriously and just thought it would be a laugh, though I've had two weeks to reflect on this and have realised it was actually just really stupid. It's crazy just how stupid this entire situation was on my part.
I'd like to add in here as an elaboration to my last point that I am sorry to my friends - specifically Wulf who had invited me to the event during which I had a lot of fun. What was just something funny and stupid on my part ultimately forced him to punish me and I'm sorry for that. I know I've joked around a little bit in the Discord regarding the fate of my character over the past two weeks, but I am taking this whole situation very seriously.
How will you avoid being banned in future:I think it's clear that I sometimes struggle to take things seriously enough. It was the same when I was banned for meta-gaming - in both scenarios I hadn't considered the consequences of my actions. I've had two weeks to think about why what I did was ridiculously stupid, and my friends have chastised me OOC repeatedly during them. Honestly, I will not do something as ridiculous as this again.
It wasn't some mastermind scheme to steal items and break the server, just me being absolutely idiotic in my behaviour. So - I won't do it again. Or anything else as moronic as this. I'm sorry and will take better consideration of my actions.
