Yes.  The shared bank was much like the first bank upon release... you could zone around and have it on screen.  Open your quest rewards and drop everything into the shared bank, then reopen the quest end rewards (same old list, but everyone has more then 1 alt)  and do it again. 

Best part, was only banned for a month!  Well worth it imo since I kept all the items

Heh, not sure if it would be considered an exploit per se, but one good old "bug" from back before my first new mod after joining (Oct 2, 2007) they fixed with the mod that did away with death penalty xp.

Back in those days, having just started out, I never had near enough money to waste the 80,000 ish gold for a large bag.  But even though those small blue gem bags and small red collectable bags were always meant to be bound (there was only to character pre EU) and thus could not be mailed, that only applied while empty.  Yup, you guessed it, put one or more gem, any kind, in a small gem bag, and you could mail it.  Same with collectable bags.

This of course led to the ability to roll up a dummy throw away character just to run Eponia's quest with the optional necklace for the barmaid objective, get a couple smal gem bags, mail a couple gems to the throw away char, put em in the bag, and mail it to whoever you wanted.  Delete character, rinse repeat.  I had a mule character with six small blue gem bags and four small collectable bags that mainly was there just to hold them for new alts I made.

After the next mod, this trick no longer worked and having no need for the bags on a mule, I deleted them.  However, I have a couple characters running around that still have two small gem bags.

Favorite Old Exploits:
-Bypassing any cooldown on any spell or ability
-Using Fly from Reaver's Refuge, entering Shroud, and flying directly to part 5
-Scroll Farming via... scrolls
-Guild Rep farming via Create Undead in Epic (best used with cooldown bypass)
-Infinite Boots of Anchoring/Dragonscale
-1750 Tome without having 1750 favor
-Infinite Eldrich/Tempest/Sovereign runes

Current Favorite Exploits:
-Automatically UMDing any wand or scroll, even if not trained
-Window Farming
-Dual-boxing , then logging out the character with the XP potion to save duration (log back in at the end of the quest)
-Avoiding both XP penalties for re-entering quest (group and individual)

If you want details, please give me an exploit I don't already know about.  I know a LOT more exploits than I posted here, but some are too juicy to talk about publicly (such as which raid(s) can have their endchests ransacked).  Contact me via PM.  I'm trying to keep this account separate and untraceable from my regular DDO account in case Tarrant comes snooping around...

actually since most people here are reusing old forum names, he can trace to your character if he wants to and tag you

Yeah, I am the artist formally known as Rumbaar.  It's online, all identities are stolen ... I stole his.

your forum names are linked to ingame characters. in this age, its very easy to place a marker on your character so they can easy trace your actions. anything remotely exploitive can be used against you

My favorite was the Heal Scroll working for Wizards, made my fleshie fun, when they took that away I had to TR into a WF.

Cant live without that self healing lovin.

so long as you dun use it they do not have ammo against you. but if you somehow stumble across it, out comes

If you worry that someone may know you post here then this might not be the place for you.

Your point then is lacking. 

If I can help out, as a volunteer, a detective buddy of mine learn the identity's of their marks (100 percent accuracy) - a poorly trained monkey can link an account here with an account on the forums.

But that isn't important.  If you are doing nothing wrong, then you have nothing to fear.

Whoa, did the same exploit for Boots of Anchoring work for Dragonscale armor? Kinda wish I'd known that one at the time

The DT rune one was a pretty good one at the time as well. Made DT crafting worth it

I'm a pretty vanilla player.. sure, I hold the odd quest portal open to save running back to the npc..

The only one I am sorry I never tried was flying through the shroud. I wish I could have seen that...

I remember some people used to exploit the reaver (does not work anymore)..

someone come to the door with almost no hit points, then take off a con item and die... but first he would open the door window.

a cleric would cast a raise, but before the dead guy took it, he would use the open window to enter the quest...immediately end up in the 'dead lever' room..

then he would take the raise..
