The moral indignation in these threads are hilarious. You're all playing on a reverse-engineered server!

To the others who are just flabbergasted that people would pay money to get an edge or have more fun in a game are either naive or stupid. Take a basic economics course. Most problems come with two solutions, you can spend time or money. If I have more money than time then I will probably take advantage of this and do whatever I can to have more fun with the limited play time that I have.

Yes, it's against the rules, but it was questionable how well this was being enforced (this is not the case anymore). When I bought plat there were multiple websites selling every item in the game as well as large amounts of platinum. To a newbie this sent the message that RMT were being paid lip service rather than being strictly enforced. The only people who really suffered were the buyers. The sellers made all of their money and probably knew the ban was eventually coming.

Anyways, I'm kind of relieved that I was banned. I could feel myself getting sucked back into the Evercrack, a true testament to the work of the staff. Oh and to all the moral high grounders yes I know I'm a complete scumbag and everything I've done in my lifeless is worthless, and you're correct in assuming that my parents never loved me.
Dumbest post in a thread full of stupidity. Congrats! Sony doesn't even have the code for a classic EQ server anymore, this server isn't stepping on their toes - they even know about it. And Project 1999 is run by a small staff with limited time/resources. There is RMT in huge games like WoW that employ hundreds of people. Pretending that RMT was implicitly tolerated by the admins because there were many avenues to do it is ridiculous. But you already knew that. Good riddance.
