Please read the WATCH OUT part if you don't feel like reading the rest.
WATCH OUT:
Estevan2...watch out for him.
A few months back, he didn't know a crap about duping, begging others to teach him. Now that he knows a trick or two, he thinks he owns Mabinogi.
He claimed, to me, that he knew more about duping then Alwaho...Even though Alwaho had been modding before Estevan2 knew how.
He asked me to trade him my Hebona so he could "dupe" it. I'm sure he's been using this to persuade others to trade.
Don't trade. He doesn't know how to dupe...all the methods he leeched off of are now patched. Granted, he does know how to do other cool things, but not dupe. He claims this "new" duping method is involved with crashing the channels, even though this was patched LONG ago.
Just watch out...
PERSONAL STORY:
Okay, this probably isn't important to anyone.
I doubt anyone will find this helpful/useful. In fact, most will think of it as a waste of time, on my part.
I play on Tarlach server, and my IGN is hanamomo.
About 3 months ago, Estevan2 started accusing me of keylogging. Some of his friends got keylogged and he accused me of being the one who keylogged his friends. The thing is...a little before the accusations started, I had been hacked; while I was away, with no access to Mabinogi. Upon coming back and changing my info, I realized that my account had been pieced to several instances of keylogging. I ignored this, and kept on playing. One day, one of Estevan2's friends, Serris0, got keylogged. Apparently, while the keylogger was on the account, he was selling Serris0's items. One of which was a duped, pink flashy, Nuadha set. So I bought it. I payed my own gold for the set. I was overjoyed, I'd been looking for one for a while.
Everything was fine until a few days later when I find out Estevan2 posted a threat on nexon.net, with "proof" I was the keylogger. His only proof was the pink flashy Nuadha set.
I ignored all the crap...until now.
Today, Estevan2 came up to me, responding to my party (I was buying a Caladbolg.) He wanted to trade it to me for my Hebona robe. I told him I would want two of them. He then claims he doesn't care because he can easily dupe them.
Then out of nowhere he asks me if I know the keylogger, because he needed the keylogger's help. So...after all the shit he put me through...he said he needed the "keylogger's" help. Not mine (even thought he was convinced I was the keylogger. Oh the irony.)
When I told him why he wanted the help of the keylogger he claimed that he wanted to negotiate with the keylogger to get his friends info back. Which is plausible, until you consider that this happened 3 months ago. So why wait 3 months, then all of the sudden feel the need to help your buddies?
That's my personal story. He ruined the game for me...I just wanted to help bring the issue to the light, for whomever was told I was the one who keylogged them.
Sorry about the long post.
