Everquest 2: The Dog Days of Duping

Some shifty cockass, albeit a cockass with a hefty padded bank account brags about finding a duping glitch in Everquest 2 and exploiting it for the win. That shifty cockass, being Methical waxes about his amazing and infamous shenanigans in humorous detail.

I was going to crack some jokes on how I duped the dupers thread in revenge, and it’s only fair I dupe the thread because they are the most retarded loved dupers I have come across when suddenly the thread was killed from being overloaded.

I thought this quote was amusing from the person who posted Methical’s story. Keep in mind, this is not the duper, which is what my dumb ass originally assumed.

“One last thing, I never learned how to play the game. I maybe got some mule to level 5 or something and I could get citizenship in a heartbeat but I was just in it for the phat irl loots. Too bad meth and kea had to lose actual characters.”

Haha, how jacked up is that? A newbie who only played a mule to level 5 found and abused this exploit. You would think someone who actually played the game to, I don’t know, level 10. haha. on me. :)

This guy is small potatoes, (sorry, but true!) he is nothing compared to Yantis who control millions of dollars in his bank accounts or even other dupers I knew in games like Diablo 2 who duped for a longer period squandering more money under their disposal, but the story is great and funny enough that I went through the effort to resize and make adjustments to the pictures hijacking the thread to post for your vieweing pleasure.

I hope Methical & company enjoy their fifteen minutes. I know I would.

I’d laugh so hard up until the point where I cried if SOE took legal action against Methical. Even if it was too set an example, but I seriously doubt SOE will. As for how much cash he made? I’m assuming at least 100k, and no more than 200k. (Methical stated he at least banked in 70k). He also said in the severed thread he claimed he made a little over a years worth of wages, and more like three years worth of wages for most people.

The dupers may have used game cards to pay the subscription costs for all accounts, but with this information and with what SOE has on record they should be able to go back and track IPS and ban the rest of his accounts. Doubtful considering the exploit has been fixed, all the back tracking would take too long for them to even give a shit. Hell, Smed probably bought some plat off him.

Updated addendums:

Methical dropped me a line and advised me my original assumption about the actual level of his character was wrong and not a measlely low level newb, but actually a level 30 power house, which was a decent level for that time.

This duping occurred back in later December and January, just in case for those wondering. Don’t want anyone thinking all this turgid inflation happened last week.

In the original thread that was posted in the last few days the duper claimed he still has 8 or 9 accounts that weren’t banned. I don’t have any proof, but I don’t see a reason why not to believe him, you make the call.

According to Scott Hartsman the accounts were banned and dirty funny money from the glitch was cleaned up soon after the exploit was discovered and fixed. Methical says that is not the case and he has multiple accounts still in his control and that another blackmarket operator was abusing this duping glitch on every server.
