Tim hit it on the nose.
It was after you left, Fury. I found your Ordenstaat quite amusing.
I was in fact the one who reported them. I noticed the multis because I saw the religion founded, and wondered where 500 gold came from. I did some research, and found sequential User IDs, identical secondary-realm patterns, and numerous other indicators.
Not all of them were banned. About 5 remain, and they are all priests, wandering around the continent (which remains suspicious to me: 5 brand new characters all playing priests?). They RTOd a region near Sallowtown a while back to try the same stunt again, but it didn't work out, it seems.
But, in general, Tim said everything I would have said.
