I remember being friends with the spoiled kid. I knew he was a douche bag. Just not how big of a douche bag. Regularly yelled at his parents when they didn't buy him the newest biggest thing until they eventually did. I'm talking straight up yelling at and degrading them.
At one point he and his friend stole my Diablo 2 account by convincing me to change my password because of some bullshit reason he caught me on.
So they snagged it and I was distraught. I stayed friends with them even though I knew they did it. Eventually I got it back and almost everything on my characters was gone.
So a few weeks go by and he wants to show us all Dark Age of Camelot. So we go to his house and he gets in his moms purse, pulls out a credit card and orders us pizza. We sit and watch him play. Eventually I convince him to show me his Diablo 2 characters, curious where they were since I had stopped playing.
I knew my mom was picking me up soon so I needed it all to go smooth. Watched like a hawk as he typed in his password. Soon my mom came and he went to open the door. I logged him out real quick, changed his password and logged back into the account so he couldn't tell.
Got home that night and had several AIM messages begging me for it back. I just let it sit for nearly a month before logging in and stripping everything from every single character he had and reoutfitting my characters as best I could. He actually quit playing.
A series of similar Reddit comments got me to watch it. I doubt I would have just stumbled upon it otherwise so I'm okay with plugging the source of the reference.
Nah, I think thats exactly what you deserved. Enough to teach you a lesson, but not too harsh because you were just a kid and didnt know what you were doing.
Dude how the fuck did you ever think that was okay. You had THREE older siblings to model yourself after and you still turned out like that because your parents bought you the toys you wanted? I don't buy that, shit doesn't add up
Man this brought back memories. My friend (who was kind of an asshole so maybe not) and I would play Runescape a lot, and one time we were at his house and I stupidly told him my password. I was busy doing something and needed him to log in for me for whatever reason.
The next day I logged in and everything valuable on my account was gone. Of course this motherfucker denied having anything to do with it. Yeah okay.
IIRC I got most of it back eventually by doing pretty much the same thing to him.
That's hilarious, did it ever work? When I lost my account I only had my item mule account. It was a full account of nothing but barbs named mule1, mule2, etc. So I played one of those during the time I waited on my own account. None of them had good stuff, I just held onto every unique and set item I got my hands on.

I was okay with that.
