Effigy of Traitor?

[AshOfCaine]

Okay, I know i have been out of the loop for a little bit so was taken back when I saw a house plot burning in the corner of Luna by the PAS Corner Market. What is with the Effigy of a traitor scarecrow in the middle of this burning plot?



A quick search leads me to believe that in around or before December OSI would burn down the houses of perma-ban players, is this correct? Will the fires burn forever or will the plot become open for house placement again in the future?

They did it on several shards, some shards had more then one house in Luna burned down. What happen was they caught scripters with several accounts across several shards and closed the accounts and burn the house down on all shards these people were on. More or less a warning them leaving the house burning, but these is talk that they will release the area someday after a housing patch and all those burning plots will be empty.

From the February 15, 2008 Five on Friday:

"So, what with all the exploding houses in Luna, I'm a bit worried about my own stuff. Should I be?"

Not if you're not cheating! We're dead serious about banning people who violate our Terms of Service, but we are also committed to careful research and thorough investigation. If you're in danger of getting your house blown to smithereens, trust me, you know about it.

There is one caveat, though (isn't there always?) If you have a vendor on another person's house, and that house gets blown up, your vendor will also suffer a gruesome fate. Vendor contracts are buyer-beware - make sure you know the reputation of that Luna vendor you're about to tie your name to, and be cautious if you don't know them personally. Customer Service will not restore a vendor lost in this manner, nor will they reimburse for losses.
