yea, I suspected that too, that's why I won't give up my swimsuits yet at early warning, and kept holding them until for so long.
The reason why I handed my items in the end were because gm mentioned if an error/bug happened to our char and rendered the char unusable, the publisher won't be held responsible in any way.
That alone still not convinced me to give up the swimsuits yet though, until then a thought passing through 'what if the publisher then decided to sabotage chars with swimsuits on them, and make the chars unplayable. In the end I gave up the items by mailing the gm and then the items were seized on next maintenance.
omg sorry, not this whining again, I might write full detail if I don't restrain myself lol
For me, I will not buy swimsuits at that much, that's way too overpriced for a banned item, very tempting though bcoz the char will be one of the few if not only one having swimsuits ^^).
btw thank you for your concern, and I'll still update SmurfIT! to work with latest patches as long as my knowledge is sufficient for doing so.
