5k Bounty for Classic Research (Are You a Wayback Machine Pro?)

[pasi]

I've literally given away plat for people to convince me which item to order off a Jimmy Johns menu. I don't think they give a shit if you pay a 5k incentive for information to improve the server.

Y'all take RMT too seriously. Haven't been much on EQemu, but most emulator servers offer RMT direct from the GMs/devs.

ow you can read into this and say "well of course it could've been changed from 2001-2004". Yes, that is within the realm of possibility. But outside of a developer quote in that era (which as far as I'm concerned doesn't exist, I have looked), you will never have definitive proof.

First off, it could also have changed in 1999-2001, and that might still explain things (eg. if people set beliefs in 99, but din't update them when things changed). But to the main point, I realize you can't prove a negative. What I was hoping to find was ... look back in the day it was "common knowledge" that skill-ups were independent of success. This "fact" was repeated many times in old forums. Whether it was true or not I can't say, but it was a belief held by many back then.

So if people were spreading bad information, at some point the correct information became known, and at that point there should be forum posts of people correcting the mistake. Alternatively, if the belief was correct at some point and stopped being correct there should be evidence of that. But the whole community of tradeskillers with belief X should not be able to switch to belief Y without some record of it, and that's what I had hoped that someone could find (or if someone can find a way to access the old EQ traders forum posts I could probably find it myself).

What a big surprise the guy(Baler) who made the thread about people violating the name policy comes up again as the official "P99 Stick In The Mud™". I'm imagining a frail, pasty-white body typing away about how people violate extremely trivial matters on a 15+ yr old elf sim.

[Baler]

Yeah let's just ignore all the past rule violations people have contemplated in the past. Screw baler am I right?

PS. If the staff let this slide. I'll be buying and selling every example I've posted in this thread.
It will be a new age of scamming on P99.

These are all examples of information outside the game.

top secret threads 10k per thread.
forum rip of Blue Guild xyz, 100k.
Private Streaming Guild X's guild chat for 1k per hour.
Guild officer list 10k extra.
selling exploits/bugs on blue 100k

Exactly what this thread is. Paying in game plat for information outside the game.

---
It doesn't matter if OP is a 'good guy'. He probably likes me considerably less now, but like I said. he unknowingly dove down a rabbit hole. And there are rules because BAD EGGS... have caused there to be rules.

Rules are Rules,. like it or not.

And if I'm the only person who get's a slap on the wrist for this thread than something is amiss.

[Baler]

I've explicitly stated I hate rmt'ers and I have zero interest in buying or selling information outside of P99 in which I would not be able to naturally and through normal means be able to obtain in game. Everything I've presented is examples of ways in which people would use 'buying/selling information outside the game' to profiteer through in game plat transactions. Some of which could in fact be rule violating in their own actions.

for the record i didn't pm baler and it was just gonna be goatse anyway

This says you only have interest in RMT'ing for information that you could find out in game on your own. That is all the information..... everything could eventually be found out, by you, in game. Be it guild officers, guild raid strats, bugs and exploits, bannable offense gossip, etc. So....... who dove down a rabbit hole now.....

Edit: doesn't the naming policy say something about sticking to names that fit a high fantasy format?

Can't really see one of these rolling around norrath.... but maybe my imagination isn't good enough.

[Baler]

Great rationalization Dreenk317, NOT.

My point is valid. And just because the "good guy" is at fault doesn't mean I'm wrong. I talk a lot and it gives a lot of people opportunities to spin my words into poison. I want the best for this community and I see an opportunity for true evil to spill in and take advantage of a moment of weakness.

Balor is the final, and most powerful, incarantion of the Leveler that is seen in the current age of Myth: The Fallen Lords. He is in command of the Fallen Lords, six sorcerers general of terrible power, who are trying to destroy the world with an army of undead, trow giants and terrible beasts.

My nickname is over 20 years old, in which I've used on roleplay hardcore enforced mmorpgs servers. You're grabbing at fireflies and missing. But it's the response you want. *spits*
I'd like to add for everyone else that this quote is from a wiki and not some kind of e-pean post.

I've said what I have to say. It's up to the staff.

Good, then stfu. You arent even a mall cop, this is nothing more than trolling. Go make an rnf thread where your BS belongs. Let the people who actually care about the topic talk.
