A Disturbing Rumor

I overheard a Disturbing Rumor today.

Someone named xXSTRIKEXx told Paragon Hero Neos that he has father who use to play this game a few years ago, and that his father's character is lvl 54.

Quite Frankly, I think he was just fooling around and trying to be funny. But the Kid said that he wasn't lieing, and even sounded serious about it.

What do you guys think?
You think he was just fooling around, or was he being serious?

Because if he wasn't joking around, and that he Father does have a level 54 Character, that could potentially mean we've got a hacker on this game somewhere. Or his character was made around the time the game first came out into creation.

Anyone have any opinions on the matter?

somebody was yanking a couple of chains.

If somebody is actually posting a level higher than 50 they probably:

A: Hacked the game client to send false information to the server

B: found a /really/ obscure bug.
Neither of which would go long without somebody doing a /petition and notifying the gm's.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Seriously, are you 12?
One person tells you something and you get worked up enough that you need to get opinions on the matter? This isn't a "Disturbing Rumor" (capital letters added for extra drama, I guess). This is some nimrod flapping his gums and you believed him. Or at least took him slightly seriously, which was way more than the conversation warranted.

This thread is now rated 'T' for teen.

Y'know, I heard a rumor that any time you see a scantily clad female toon, that that's really what the chick running her is wearing in real life. >.>

/about as likely as the lvl 54 rumor
//equally as disturbing, too
///what rumors have YOU heard?

Also: Six years of casual play begins to look an awful lot like one year of hardcore play.

I'm pretty sure at least half the people on the board by now know how to get to level 52. 54 is kinda a toughie though.



(I thought it was pretty weird the way the numbers change in appearance after level 50 too!)

*snicker*

that actually made me laugh. I love that black-magic marker font, what-ever it is.

I also find it interesting that his level 5 character is ableto enter into the Rikti War Zone. Especially since everyone can only enter while they're level 35 or higher.

Then maybe you will find it interesting that the level restrictions were removed on almost all zones as of Issue 16. That could explain level 5 characters going into the Shadow Shard to buy jetpacks.

Let's just close the topic. I just overheard that it was all a lie from the Kid. He mistook it for another game. He was refering it to another online game, World of Warcraft. He also said that his father has been playing World of Warcraft for 20 years, which I also thought was a lie.

I guess we might as well close the topic now.

That's why you see them around the Icon Consultant all the time.
