This is one of the top issues for P99's raid scene, but I don't know how to begin to address it. Characters don't DIE on this server, they just get new owners. On Live, when you quit, your character, all the work put in to him or her, was gone. The server needed fresh blood and new items because old characters and old items would be removed from the system when a person stopped paying $10/mo. The game world never benefited from it again. Here, if you quit, someone buys your character and that character can now be used to track, camp out at another raid spawn, etc. Its so damned easy to acquire new characters: Rare Trak loot and epic items go for twice the amount of most L60 stripped characters, PP-wise.

This does seem like a problem, imo. I can sort of understand why it's okay to sell/trade characters for in-game stuff, as it prevents outside sources of profiting from these sales, but it just seems so scummy, wrong, and not classic. Buying and selling accounts was never okay on live, and it hurts the server. To me it's worse than having these characters available on RMT sites, because at least if you buy from a place like that you know you are taking a big risk and your account will hopefully be permabanned for being traded off.
It's really a shame that accounts are actually encouraged to be sold, bought and traded by the staff here, but maybe they had no other choice
