Sorry, I just had to post this so they know Trump.

I have indeed gotten banned from 2 live accounts because of the EMU. I have lost a 59 bard and a 56 monk on live. This is only because I host the website. It really came to a head when the PoP beta was released and we were linked, they were threatening me via emails to take the site down, but they wouldn't unban my accounts, so I told them I only wanted to talk to their lawyers from now on. I haven't heard a thing from them since.

I will tell you this, I use to be a live GM (as in, a Sony Employee in San Diego). I wasn't there for long, but they dont care what you do as long as you dont talk about it on live. They are able to view everything you type in game (it is call /sniff), they automatically catch certain words in logs (such as death threat phrases and such). They didn't actively go after account sellers on ebay, they didn't actively go after showeq users.

Brenlo (Alan Crosby, who is now Head GM) said: "..there is no way to detect showeq, and we really dont care about them. Just do whatever you think if they admit to using it...."

This was when I was training under him. I personally am not scared of sony. What are they going to do, sue me? That doesn't mean much when a person has no money anyway. It isn't like I'll have jail time for it (as it is not a criminal case).
