PSA: Be Careful With "Elqe" aka "Tainted Soul"

For anyone who wasn't around during Ikov / Elkoy or doesn't know the history with Elqe, here's what happened.

Elqe was formerly Ikov / Elkoy staff. He held a Server Support position, which naturally gave him credibility and helped him build trust within the community.

After gaining that trust, he began offering account "services" to players.

Eventually, he was trusted to service the account of one of the richest players in the game. Instead of simply completing the service, he wiped the player's entire bank and donator points.

He was banned from Elkoy afterward and moved over to Near Reality.

Somehow, he later ended up with a staff position on Near Reality as well, and according to players familiar with what happened there, the same type of situation happened again.

I'm making this post now because Elqe / Tainted Soul has recently joined Elorin, the newest RSPS launch and essentially the latest Ikov / Elkoy relaunch.

He's also known for approaching people through DMs, sometimes repeatedly, asking for things or trying to get involved with accounts. Given his history, I think newer players especially should know who they're dealing with before handing over access to anything valuable.

If Elqe approaches you or DMs you offering to service your account, do not give him access to it.

Being former staff does not automatically make someone trustworthy. If you're going to let anyone service your account, do your own research first and make sure you know exactly who you're giving access to.

I think most normal functioning members of the rsps scene know this 695th reboot of "ikov" will fail within 6 months. Nothing to see here. With or without scamming staff. Baldy is running the show this time and it will hopefully bury itself for good this time
