Okay the beetle was not scrolled. It was bonded. It did have a pack full of stuff some stealables and other items. I have had that same beetle since um..2003? I know I got it after the beetles had come out and it was my second beetle cause the first one got killed before it bonded. It used to be a three slot beetle and I took the quest so it'd be a one slot. my thief was RIDING IT when it poofed. The account in question is 20 years old anything else? it took place in my keep near Wrong dungeon in Trammel.
Many times I log in to find my characters dismounted when they were mounted when i logged off why would this be? Could this have happened here ?
Just a question, the character that was riding the Beetle, was it from a subscribed account or was it a character from an EJ account ?
Because, EJ characters cannot log off while riding loaded Beetles, only if the Beetles have their pack as empty...
If an EJ character logs off while riding a loaded Beetle, they would get dismounted, the character logged off, but the Beetle remaining in the Game and, eventually, getting wild and all that....
Interesting questions.
Was it a paid account that turned into a EJ Account?
Sounds like an exploited pet may have gotten kicked out of the game.
Okay let me explain. Back when they introduced the new pet taming stuff at the same time Beetle were reduced from 3 slot to 1 slot pets. However some really old ones like mine and some others I knew did not convert. So what the GMs had us do is go take the taming quest which would cause the beetle to turn into a 1 slot. No cheating or exploit. Now if this wasn't legal its not my fault I took as such being from a GM. I hope that explains it. Also I spoke to a GM just a little while ago and it is being escalated. Hopefully I'll have an answer soon.
