item transfers

[Dacien]

I'm just curious, what possessed you to trust such a risky character?

[yualin001]

fbss , IFS and hooded black cloak were the main ones , rest was basic twink stuff like hp rings nothing noteable

bah totally misread your question , nobody I knew was on and all the high lvls I asked refused to do xfers so took a risk [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

The person sold items to innocent buyers. He spent the plat.

The person who committed fraud had been punished.

You learned an expensive lesson.

Did that spent plat go up in smoke towards hookers and blow? You've already established that he lost "over 10k" but both players being punished is a win-win I guess. Maybe in Ele's mmo dystopia he could sue the deceased's estate for damages

I'm not sure how you could Alt+Tab while running EQ from 1999-2001 and come back into it successfully without using EQwindows.

That is the whole reason people printed binders full of maps and item stat lists or used a second box to look stuff up while playing, because you couldn't access any other programs.

2002 EQ Druids thread talking about multi-monitor set ups not working without EQWindows, not being able to ALT+TAB. http://thedruidsgrove.org/archive/eq/t-1876.html

Yes I remember taking special interest in this being a programmer at the time. Microsoft threatened to pull the windows compatible 'logo' because eq took control of the pc at the hardware level and refused special key combos return control to windows.

They said they did this to avoid hacks but MS said tough. It was all over the forums when they finally caved. I don't remember the exact date but as always you gots proof.

That guy is just misremembering either the timeline or that he used a third party tool.

I once dropped a bag of stuff on the ground and it was there when I got back. Another time I tried it and it wasn't. Was only 150 plat worth of stuff.

Seems silly to transfer 10k without finding someone with a reputable guild tag.

I've drop transferred my fungi a few times.

Someone I'd never seen in the guild turned up today and wanted items transferred... definitely not, not after the shit some people have gone through handling "hot" items :/

I dont see what the big stigma is. If you play with logs on and you are not doing anything wrong the worst your going to end up is a few days playing a alt or god forbid actually have to go outside. Proof with logs/dates/Times is all that they need to clear you it just might take some time which everyone should be thankful for. If they didnt care RMT would be worse then it is still.

Holy sh*t, I wonder if it was the level 8 who PM'd me the other day asking about getting PL'd and name dropped you as his *friend*.
