maybe the camp is always taken when they get on ...

Evidently, and if people continue buying those items.... Those Camps will remain taken....

They are. Relatively. Sure, they're not hurting people, but that doesn't make them not scum. RMTing is like playing a game of Monopoly and buying Park Place without landing on it for real cash. It damages other people's experience of the game in the same way. That's scummy.

Easy for you to take the moral high ground isn't it!

Yeah.

These people may have broken the rules but probably budgeted hard so they could afford the pixels. Maybe kids/pets/grand parents starved in the process but at least for a few precious moments.

Pretty sure not. But if you think this, then it defeats you're theory that they are not scum. Only a complete and utter bastard would hurt their family over a game. That's no different than scoring your crack instead of feeding your kids. Even worse, if you consider that with even EQ addiction there is no chemical dependence.

But no, I'm really sure the vast majority just have disposable income. Maybe even too much disposable income.

RMT would never have gotten to the level it had if the timeline was not so messed up on this server. Sure it would still be around, just like it was on classic, but it would be a mere blip on the radar compared to what has transpired over the last couple years.

Fix the damn timeline. Wipe this bitch, and make everything right again. With any luck Velious might actually be ready when it's supposed to be this time around.

And yes, the same problems will arise eventually due to the server reaching the end of supported expansions, but at least it will truly be "classic" again to experience all worlds as they were once upon a time. Then when the time has come, wipe it again, or just end the project.

Here we have a real opportunity to make it truly classic again. Isn't that why we are all here? Who really wants to go into Velious overgeared, overnumbered, and top it all off with some loot rationing scheme? That's boring, predictable, and is easy mode EQ. Most players didn't come here for easy mode anything, at least I didn't.

While there would be some drama and /ragequit fallout from this I can only imagine how damn cool it would be starting on a completely fresh server in P99.

But I would do it again. I would do it again, including the RMT, in a heartbeat. It made the game more playable during a time when I didn't think I could handle leveling up a new character due to time constraints. This game is amazing and brought me back to a time in my youth that I truely enjoyed. These days I dont have the same time to put in that I did back then but I do have a whole lot more money, so you can see the allure

Yeah, I got fed up of camping the damn thing after several weeks of 10 hour days in the King room. I didn't need to buy it, it was just a time saver.

Myth busted. Rot in hell for your crimes.

This.

I didn't log on after the ban until late yesterday and I was nervous because only the day prior I had transferred 17k for a guildmate.

Fortunately I was fine but I seriously wondered if I might not have unwittingly been caught up in shenanigans.

Why would you want a server reset for RMT banned people to be able to start over on and profit again?
