Two very simple solutions:

1.Ban the sellers.

2.Send out a 1 time warning. (to accounts that were made in the last three months)

This would have been easy and much healthier for the server, it would have kept 600 more people playing the game.

I understand you didn't want to waste your time and purchased in game money to speed up the process. I am completely impartial to your actions. Rules are clearly stated, the developers reserve the right to ban whom ever they want when ever they want. This is their server not yours. All I am saying is follow the rules. It is indeed a healthy server still look at the numbers.

I think there are other emu servers out there where you can use GM commands and summon whatever items you want. If you want to show your friends the game and need to give them gear to do so, why not play one of those servers for a bit?

It comes down to time, we don't want to put the little time we have to invest into a server we would not continue playing on.

all this time forumquesting could have gotten you some levels and plat.

Lol this RMT'er is mad. And apparently can't comprehend that [accounts =\= players].

1252 players online right now. Server looks just as healthy as ever. Great job staff!

I have looked at the numbers, 1100 on at the peak. That is at least 25% less people than it could have been if you just count half of the accounts banned.

To that I say in 2010 when I started playing on this server there were about 600 - 800 people playing. Population has about doubled. Especially Since the new PnP has gone into effect. I do understand you are upset but you broke the rules. I don't know what else to say accept sorry and please start again if you like, it is truly a fun server to play on.

Am I supposed to feel sorry for Mattdog64 that he started playing on a server without apparently reading the rules of conduct on the server, broke the rules, and got busted for it? I can't tell from his posts.

I mean, damn, when you visit www.project1999.com and you're like "Hells yeah, I want to play me some old-school EQ!" and you're like "How do I get this started?" and you see the link over on the left that says "Getting Started", you click it and come to this:

3) Global Server Rules

2+ Boxing
Third Party Tools, Exploiting
Language, Profanity, Harassment
Training
RMT (Real Money Trade) Sales
Naming Policy

It's like you had to purposely ignore the global server rules. So you're saying it's okay for someone to exploit or 2-box if they say "Oh, I didn't know it was against the rules."? Come on, man.

If you just began the server and needed help figuring out how to install it, considering you have a slim chance of figuring it out on your own, usually you go about doing so by using the guide in this link:
http://www.project1999.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2651

Now, mind you, I hear what you are saying, and it isn't that I don't care, but if you look at the bulleted list at the BEGINNING of the guide, it has somewhat of a 'Table of Contents' that gives you an idea of how to navigate the thread and find the information you are looking for. Clearly, you can see a few of the listed points as a LINK, which used to drop you down to said portion, but alas the links are just leading back to the forum homepage... but regardless, let's all assume you aren't an idiot, because we like to give new friends the benefit of the doubt.

Let us scroll down to the second post made by Rogean in the thread, which is the post highlighting our current conversation.. it is listed and bolded/underlined as

3) Global Server Rules

Underneath it, you can find a list of the server rules, one of which includes:

RMT (Real Money Trade) Sales

If you take a moment to read the couple of sentences underneath it, I believe you will find your warning you are looking for. This:

"Any trading of any in-game objects for real life currency, including but not limited to coin, items, and characters, is not permitted. People caught performing these transactions will have all characters involved banned."

Now for my thesis, I know I said earlier that it wasn't like I don't care, but I think I can safely say that the majority of us playing on this server DO NOT CARE.

Have a good one... In fact, let me rephrase it. Maybe you can buy yourself a good one, because you clearly do not want to take the time to earn it.

This announcement and the subsequent bannings sends a much more clear message than silently wiping out a few seller-holding accounts along with their respective buyers every week. There are a lot of people waking up this morning and realizing there is no such thing as a safe site or a safe way to buy items or platinum on p99.

Server seems to be pretty healthy.
