How is Lillu unimpeachable?

Obviously the "true to form" model here is mainly what you want since it is very popular. But one thing I will definitely suggest is addressing the "time" factor that most RMTers seem to be concerned with would definitely be a start in the right direction.

Lets face it, we played EQ when we were a little younger and probably had less bills than we have today. Why not deliver a product that will help fill that sunk time gap?

Just saying. There's money to be had. Creativity is just standing in the way to please a broader audience. And what better reason to do it for other than more resources?

You have no idea what principles are do you? Its just about maximizing earnings potentials and expanding your market. What a hollow way to view the world. Pretty sad.

Please spare me the cognitive dissonance. Its reality. You think we think back to our childhood experiences so fondly just because!?!? Get a grip man.

And whether you may not "prey on others" as you so much detest, worry not. You are being preyed on regardless. Down to the very penny of income in a typical life-span. The percentages of discretionary income spent on porn down to the hours of sleep needed to making sure you wake up and repeat it all again. Its a fuckin science. The predator knows his prey.

Pretty sure I'm not the one displaying cognitive dissonance here. You seem to be the one protesting over sour grapes. If it bothers you so much that a few people actually want to have a not for profit hobby, then take off. No one is forcing you to try to rationalize your poor decisions. Not sure why you keep on insisting that everyone in the world share your pathetic view of existence. Not everyone is about the money grab. Its very hard for someone like you to grasp, but there is typically more joy and satisfaction achieved by doing something free for other people then trying to formulate ways to profit off of every single action you take. No one here asked you for money. In fact they asked that you please do not spend money.

A bit disingenuous to speak highly of doing something for free given you are clearly benefiting from someone else's charity in this case. Wake up will ya.

Oh. You can't read. I'm sorry, I didn't realize. Nevermind then. Carry on.

Will you please just go away, limit your shitbaggery to real life and leave us to our peace? Here, you do not possess the predatory prowess you so covet. The project staff wield that power and like it or not you are the prey. You lost. And more demeaning, yet you were warned beforehand. You were bested and the one who bested you had no interest in doing so.

To the rest of your ramblings, I understand the distilled primal world view you embrace and the fact that in the absence of an greater power the only rational endeavor is self betterment. Unfortunately for you and perhaps contrary for the rest of us, we are social creatures and have to varying degrees evolved to derive satisfaction from that of others. Yes, I know scarcity demands that one person's gain is another's loss, but that assumes everything is valued the same to everyone else, which we know to be false.

Thanks for your world view. Trust me, if it were in-fact a surprise to me that people like you felt this way, then I would also be surprised that there are "haves" and "have-nots". As for vividly describing my "defeat", Let me remind you that I am a grown man who takes risks and it would be entirely unrealistic for me to assume that every risk I ever took never ended up in a loss. So that I can handle.

So while you sit in your ivory moral tower and hemorrhage your life's resources till you die, you apparently aren't grown enough to understand the "Risk" experience as well as I do.

To those who are on this side of the fence, I would rather pay money to keep RMT out... O wait, that is what donating to the server is for.

So if you are like me and enjoy this game for what it is, a damn fine example of pre-kiddy gaming that takes itself seriously enough to be enjoyable for those of us who cannot find a half-decent game in this world of shit title after shit title released from multinational corporations with no soul... Then you should donate too
