Even before I installed Titanium EQ and stepped into the world of Project 1999 I knew, from the forums, No RMT. (Just like No Two-Boxing.) But I quickly learned that there's no reason to RMT anyway. The Project 1999 community is superior to the original EQ in that the majority of folk are very very kind and will help a newbie any way they can.
From my very first character, I've received lots of great newbie items and lots of plats whenever I'm in my newbie zone leveling. Once, I almost fell out of my chair laughing when, out of the blue, a dwarf inspects me and says: "Mother of God! A Real Newbie!!!" He then handed me 1,000 plats and ran off.
So I'm wondering if one point of your PSA is that I need to be careful because someone might give me plats or some item that came from someone who dealt with someone who got it from Platlord.
Last night a nice player gave away 1,000 plats each to 15 winners by /random 100. He also gave away several very nice items. I thought it was great fun, but I would not have participated if there was a chance that what I was really going to "win" was a ban from the game.
What would you advise? Thanks!
