I am being threatened by lLadenseeeraaa_, saying that they are going to ban me and I am afraid because I have not done anything illegal since I accepted the conditions of the game.

    First off is the person even a PPP GM if not they can't ban you

    First off no player has the power to ban you. 

    HOWEVER from personal experience I can vouch that although they can't directly do it they can get it done indirectly  by.


    1. Asking all their friends to mass report you. Basically a majority rules type thing sometimes even them lying will get them to rule against you. 

    2. Kissing up or working with GM's (extra effective if a GM is a  player

    3. CA chatting with a GM outside of the game plotting on their enemies with LIES. (NOT SAYING OUR CURRENT CA'S ON PAPAYA DID THIS. but on OGP some of them not all absolutely have done this and I have Screenshots as proof from other CA'S warning me on what they were saying to GMs...) 

    I suggest you remind said player that by implying he can ban you or get you banned is GM IMPERSONATION and if he does not stop you will report him and remind him impersonating a GM or pretending you have GM instruction or GM power is punishable by a PERMANENT BAN  1st offense. Also remind him mass reporting  is also known as  "targetting" this can include sending mails telling friends to mass report or offering favors in return for reports against a player and is also punishable by a ban. 

    Screenshot the threat and send to GM to let them be aware of the situation and at all costs DO NOT break any rules this will ensure your ticket is valid. 


    I'm only telling you this because I went through it with certain players before good luck and God bless.

    Strong47, join the club we meet every Wednesday at Burger King. There are idiots in this game with nothing better to do than to try to get others suspended or banned. I know this from experience in Netmarble, OG Planet, and yes even this new Papaya company too. I suggest you just start blocking the idiots or sail in private mode. Since I started sailing in private mode the trolls and personal threats/insults have lowered significantly. Also is first day of Hanukkah today so be happy everyone!

    It is not true that only GMs can ban people. Others have indirect means to ban players. They can report him on a false accusation of multi and get him banned.

    Imo you should screenshot and report that person who threatened you.

    If someone is making threats to get you banned, as it happened in my case. Take screen shots of that player and what they are saying to you. Then submit a support ticket.

    Next thing I would do, as I am speaking with experience, is get a change name application, the mirror which allows you to change your appearance and gender, and also a secret defection permit. Now these things are UWC shop items. Once you have those items, leave your company that you are in, remove all your friend's names from the friend's list and set yourself to private (block all). Then find a mansion that is not occupied in some city (they usually say Mansion on them) and go inside. Use the mirror to change your appearance, use the name change to change your name, change your ship name if you have changed it already, also change your personal message if you have one in it (community > set status > personal message) then when all that is done, sail to another main city and use the secret defection permit to change to that city. Do not rejoin your old company and do not ask your old friends to be your friend still.... after you have done all this, then you can continue to play the game. If the person keeps looking for you and making threats, DO NOT pm them!!! just take screen shots and send them to support in the same ticket.... to let the GM know that these players are still trying to find you to harass you....

    Or you can just create a new account and start fresh if you don't want to pay money to get those things.... Another thing is to make a new character on the same account and use a shared storage permit to transfer everything you own to your new character.... if you decide to make a new character, use a name that is nothing like your original name.... Once your old toon is empty, delete it forever.

    That is the only way to stop them from the harassment. I am speaking from experience. I had the same issue. I reported it. The players that were doing it to me have continued to try to find me and harass me. Yes, they have played for many years and most people believe that they are "Holy and Righteous". that is why you need to start fresh under a new name, new look and new nation.... keep taking screen shots and sending them to support. Let support know that you have had to change these things to stop the harassment. The player will be investigated and punished, that is a guarantee.

    In my case, the player has said multiple times that I was banned from the game. Those screen shots have been taken and sent to the support team because I was not banned, they are lying like they have done before. Do not trust them or associate with them ever again. If they have something in their shop that you want, go find it somewhere else. Don't give them any reason to think anything other that they have won. They have not. Their days are numbered and support will deal with their treachery.

    No noooooo nooooo

    Under NO circumstances do you change names change companies mirror and stuff like that. That is the WORST possible thing you can do. 

    By doing those things you make it seem like you are trying to hide and MANY MANY scammers do that after they have scammed a player to try to get away with it and trust me GM's and players are watching and can discover you. 

    Also just so you know doing all that never ever works because what people do is block your character on an alt and then when you change name/appearance or whatever  guess what it ALSO changes on their block list and will instantly identify you this just make you look more guilty.


    Best advice is to tell the player to stop the threats and lies about banning because it's GM impersonation. Then screenshot all of it and report the threats to a GM  any attempts to defraud or hide will look suspicious and will NOT help your case. DON'T DO IT.


    Good luck and remember it's not what you know... It's what you can prove.  Sad but true.

    Correction you can change name appearance anytime you please BUT I STRONGLY advise you NOT to do it especially when someone is accusing you of scamming until a GM has been alerted that is all...
