How to stop a stalker?

Anywho OP, most you can do is hope he eventually gets the idea and finds someone else to bother if the GM does nothing about it. I will admit I'd be super upset if this happened to me.

Yeah, it works just like it did in FFXI. The other option would be for the OP to transfer servers, make the same character name on their original server and then transfer back which would also force a name change but it'd also cost $36.

If you think doing something that works is a terrible idea then yeah, deleting their character is a terrible idea. The downside is that it could take a few weeks for them to restore a character. They say it's not 100% successful but I've never had an issue with it. They even say it's a "one time deal" but I had the same deleted character restored three times in FFXI lol. I realize this isn't FFXI but they have the same rules and guidelines for it and I've already went through the process. As for teleporting; you can search for players so that wouldn't work.

you should buy a pre-paid cell phone and agree to text with them. Then when it gets hot and heavy, send them some nudes, but send google image results for STD searches. If that doesn't work, then he's an unbeatable stalker and his power is over 9000.

The search will only return a name and a link to the profile information. Is does not tell anyone where they are.

And why would you let a stalker make you got offline via character deletion, even if for 1 week, and wait for a restore? Isn't this a bit drastic. You might as well unsubscribe for a month then. Medicine like that is worse than the disease.

My girlfriend has this issue too but instead of one there are many. She is just going to wait until they bring out the namingway cards to change her name, although I have a feeling they will just find her again.

It occurs to me that even if the stalker is banned or something, they may come back on another character and still harass you, if they were really determined. >_<

But if they make a new character they might be able to just jump to Mor Dhona and find you before leveling for a while, if that is any respite.

But really OP, I suggest ignore them for now, even if they follow you around it won't ammount to much in a world of instances and fast teleport.

I'm speechless lol.
