How can a single person be so delusional. You broke the rules and you got banned.
You've literally been pushing the envelope for a while now and you're so petty that instead of accepting the punishment for breaking the rules you're going to make dumb claims about corruption.
Please stop wasting people's time.
The "do not scam other players" bit was in the rules since way back when, and it was actually on March 17, 2019 that we updated the rule to clarify further:

https://www.novaragnarok.com/wiki/index.php?title=Rules&oldid=14920For you to claim we changed the rules for you is not only ridiculous, but laughable. You're not that special, kid.
It is no secret that [GM] Tokei and the player Arias are friends. That does not imply or mean corruption. I'm sorry you have such a jaded viewpoint, but Tokei plays on NovaRO regularly, and he happens to play with Arias quite a bit.
Arias has been playing NovaRO for many years now, and spends many hours farming for the equipment that he has. This forum post not only disrespects and attempts to undermine the work that the NovaRO team puts into the server, but the effort that players such as Arias put into the game to earn the gear they own.
We encourage our GMs to play the server on legitimate characters, as it gives them a much more informed view on current topics, and keeps them engaged and motivated to continue to improve the server, not just for other people, but for their own experience as well.
On the topic of the item being recovered, we actually recover a lot more items than the regular player would assume. The wording in the rules page is in place because not every case is as cut as dry as yours was, and we cannot guarantee an item's returned in every single circumstance. Thankfully for Nishii, you were extremely blatant in your breaking of the rules and obviously have no regret, with your strategy to contest the ban being asking for "proof". We often times recover items sold to NPCs and dropped on the floor as well, as we know accidents can happen and as long as somebody else isn't negatively affected, we see no problem fixing their mistakes.
Additionally, I do not keep track on whether a player is a donator or not when handling a support ticket. Handling support tickets is very time consuming, and taking an additional step to check if someone's giving us money would not only be extremely unfair to other players, it would be a massive waste of time. We value each and every player, regardless of their status as a donator, and offer equal support no matter who they may be or what our personal thoughts on the person may be. That is, every player that isn't attempting to grief others and break the rules.
In closing, you promise proof in your thread title, but all I see is a bunch of irrelevant screenshots that "prove" Tokei's and Arias' friendship, something anyone and everyone in NovaRO will happily attest to.
