Fargrist.
Below is Vivathia in her own words...
~~~
Thank you for allowing me my own Opinion (rant).. yes I even rant at my
husband (aka Fargrist)
As you know by now I'm his other half, Vivathia.. the long suffering wife..
ok, well I don't suffer that much, I just make sure I nod in the right places,
I've sat here for.. I'm not too sure how long, my minds a blank when it comes
to anything SoF related, and I've listened to my husband discuss it (this is
the part where I nod in the right places)
I'm neither against, nor for SoF.. heck, I take my free spins and run
with it, it's got me a level here and there and it's not me a nice shiney new
outfit too. But my husband feels strongly about it and I happily (but silently)
back him for his own beliefs, but do my own thing regardless.
But, it seems that due to my association with Fargrist's account, my
account has been banned, association through the same credit card used to pay
for membership. I really don't know what makes me mad, I can admit to feeling
mad at the man behind Farg for pushing this SoF thing, my main thought when he
got banned was, "what about me?"
(Disclaimer, they didn't give a reason as to why we got banned, so I can
only assume why he got banned and the reason I got banned was the association
with him)
I'm more than mad, I was really
upset, heck I got upset when way way back when I first started and I got trade
scammed and I bought a mith pickaxe instead of a rune for 25K + my adament
pickaxe, when the guy did a last minute swap in the trade window without me
noticing, I did the usual I'm not playing, but Farg went out and worked hard
mining gold ore to make that money so he could buy me a rune pickaxe and
cheered me up.
So I am very upset at the fact that I've lost my whole account. I had some
great times and have some really good memories from the people I met in game,
be it having been a brief meeting or something that became more of a long term
friendship.
So, my point of view is just as important as fargrists and my anger is
directed to the fact I've never voiced a like or dislike about SoF, Fargs side
of his banning is very much SoF related, mine, I wish I knew.
how I feel, I've played this game for 8 years with my husband, our skills
are pretty similar here and there, we've worked(skilled) together, we've helped
each other out, one helping the other out with one skill as the other helps
with another.. there hasn't been one quest done where we haven't done it
together, we've individually solved quest problems helped the other out where
and when needed during quests, we've stood and watched during big fights should
one of us die.
I've never botted, never swore, never scammed or done anything against
jagex rules and conditions.. it's not in me even if the above was allowed, I
like fair play, I like a reason to play, to work hard for the rewards of all I
put into it, I don't care about having the most cash or items in game.. you
only have to look into my bank to see that.
For me it was the content of the game, the skills and quests, mini game and
every other reason that makes a game interesting to me, including a shared
gaming interest with my husband in which we've laughed over many silly
incidents, more so when he accidently attacks me in the wildy or so he tells me
that is was only an accident, or he's escorted me to places I don't like and I
die anywhere and I get to blame him.
The game meant a lot to me, for the laughs and teasings we had over it, I
have so many stories to tell of the adventures Vivathia and Fargrist had,
people will roll their eyes at and probably not find amusing, but it's stuff we
still do laugh about. So many "do you remember when's" gone for and
with no reason. This whole incident has really take away a lot from me because
of their treatment and the loss of my respect in the company that took over a
game I once used to enjoy playing.
I feel shocked at jagex company for their lack of caring, my appeal denied
by an automated reply.. my ban status updated with "appeal denied".
No one has read my appeal, no one has told me the reason I was banned, I know
no one will, I'm happy for this to go to court, For me its not about SoF, but
about getting my account back, I'm 99.9% sure I wont ever play Runescape again,
I'm 100% sure I wont if Fargrist doesn't get his account back because it wont
be the same playing without him.. but that's a different Story. I still want my
account back because it has nothing but an immaculate record of fair play and
I'm prepared to fight for that.
I can only think Jagex assumes we're a couple of kids who wont make a fuss,
rather than a middle aged married couple, one of us *points at Fargrist* being
hot headed enough to take it as far as he can.
