Pretty sure nobody here is grilling the fellow

Well I was kinda.

I like ALL the facts when something like this is brought to attention. I don't see an account with the highest character 45 having 45K.

Unless, like SO many seem to do...he made his fortune "buying low and selling high in EC" *rolls eyes*

Maybe I missed something?

He said that his friend gave him an account to strip and sell when he quit.

The account his friend gave him had the highest character level 45.

When I first played EQ I was a tunnel rat (Age 13). My highest level was a 34 druid named Amaruq. Sometime when Throneblade of the Ykesha was out, I traded one for a 53 warrior account. I hated the warrior, so I played on the wizard (lvl 34, ha) and leveled her to 52, which she never grew out of.

When I quit the game I had just under 4 million pp. Not saying that this dude is legit or non-legit, just that it's possible to be 'low level' and have tons of pp.

Plus there a ways of making money that are constant. For instance, i invested 9100pp to level JC for which I've already turned about 15k in profits, giving me a net of 6k and climbing every day. You don't need levels to make that sweet cash.

Well I did misunderstand. The account his friend gave him was a necro. The account he bought had the highest level 45 character.

So it is very possible the necro had 45 K worth of stuff.

Carry on.

It's a shame that happened, but you shouldn't be trying to buy or sell accounts in the first place. It's not in the true spirit of EQ, and I think it's even a little immoral.

Dunno what you mean by "the true spirit of EQ", but buying/selling accounts was happening in EQ pretty much from the start. I remember quite clearly being disturbed by the casual attitude of MUD and UO vets toward account selling when I started playing in '99.

I came to EQ straight from many years of P&P gaming, it simply hadn't ever occurred to me to treat player characters like used sports gear. I still don't like it, even games like in EVE Online where it is explicitly supported by the game company, but I've got no clue how to prevent players from selling off accounts & characters like bags of old golf clubs at a rummage sale. v0v

Hey, i just found this thread. Nilbog, could you clear my name? I never bought plat or dealt with anyone shady, ever. Not on my original Account that had chtulu, my warrior, or this one I just recently sold.

Would like my name to cleaned of this baseless accusation. I'm just the angry atheist on RnF.

Also, since when did I become a cheater? Crazy how shit the kinda gets made up on the spot in these forums. Do a search for my character chtulu. This is the only recent issue that's been had and the FIRST time i've been called a cheater haha.

It'd be nice if someone had evidence that my account was banned for RMTing. I think he's just assuming that, and he never petitioned to ask why it was banned. It was mostly likely his fault and his buddy who gave him his account had RMT shit on it. But of course, that would make too much sense.

I've been here a month. My highest level character is 4. I've made 3.3 million plat, off buying and selling bone chips in ec.

You guys obviously don't know what you are doing.

This cant be true because I have another account that wasn't banned. It was only the account I bought from you that was banned.
