Thanked 287x in 170 Posts Gil: 10,529 Bank: 56,917 Total Gil: 67,445 Donate | Re: 7 Lu Shang's in 15 days I followed the link to see the sales history on Lu Shang itself, and I noticed a sale by another player named "Bhafa". They both start showing sales transactions at about the same time (within a week of each other). The names are so similar. They've both sold a Lu Shangs recently.
Too many coincidences.
My guess is that someone created a series of chars starting with the letters "Bah", because that's the first 3 letters of the server. I'm on Lakshmi, and I remember seeing a bunch of characters all using the same female hume char model, named stuff like "Laksba" (Lakshmi, Bastok, A-character), "Laksjb" (Lakshmi, Jeuno, B-character), etc. I guess naming conventions make it easier to manage their resources, especially if they have them spread out over multiple servers.

Thanked 5x in 5 Posts Gil: 2,271 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 2,271 Donate | Re: 7 Lu Shang's in 15 days This may be an indication that our good ole Goblin Bounty Hunters are being effective if a fish-bot is dumping his Lu's. ie. he has multiple fishing mules each with a Lu, sent them to all 1 Char. and is dumping them. Of course maybe they all got an Ebisu instead lol. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 04-05-2007, 10:50 AM | #6 (permalink) | | Fence Sitter Brain of Knowledge Join Date: May 2006 Location: UK Posts: 1,342 Style: Dark - Version 5 Thanks: 53
