If you no longer allow account trades, why do you allow server plat trades?

Since there was only 1 character per account allowed on FV, people would often get bored of their character, bank all their armor and then re-roll a level 1 in full planar, which allowed for some crazy twinkage. It was a huge appeal for some, and a huge turn-off for others.

The server also briefly had a Trivial Loot Code ruleset, where a mob wouldn't drop any items unless you could get XP off it.

I could see some fun in that

Most of my EQ career was on FV...loved the loot ruleset. Only downside was 1 character per account. And the Roleplayers...

Lvl 1 twinks in AoW gear was a beautiful thing

But if there is no boxing or ebaying, is it really classic?

Plus there is no Taiwanese on this server cause there is no money in this game anymore

Ban all gear, all it does it cause trading, and all plat/gold/silver, copper only for merchant transactions

food/drink must be summoned

Should just allow people to transfer blue characters to red (not the other way around though).

This needs a GM response... thinking about trading plat from server a to b if I get scammed will GM's restore lost plat items? Or bring back account trading selling please. Can I sell an account for plat? What is the difference liquidating droppables and moving to another server where you did not kill a single rat? Fair to new players? Either server should be scratch non of this moving your assets from blue to red or red to blue.

in the same regards, make it one or none, since the account traded was banished due to possible scams how is red plat to blue or blue to red any different...

+1 valid point

closest to classic

I do like the idea of server transfers for chars though, that seems pretty classic after reading the patch notes whenever a new server came out. Although putting a Phara`Dar geared toon over on red seems a little unfair considering that it doesn't seem as though they see a whole lot of high end vp [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] red could use it.. as for MQs it seems a little ridiculous that several lowbie rogues run around with epics, but then again someone gambled a lot of plat in a potentially shady trade to get it, the exchange seems somewhat fair considering the potential for great loss as this type of exchange can't occur fully in a single transaction through a the trade window(rogue epic costs like 1/2 a fungi lol)

as for trivial loot I'd be interested to see that (not here but ykno, just seeing it in general)

*edit* after thinking about this a minute longer char transfers would need a few stipulations, ex. a level minimum or something to prevent a lvl 1 taking their char move over to the other server with a bunch of gear or plat.. a char worth moving, 40+ maybe, idk... thinking again and this sounds like a bit much. If you had the wealth to move and with the way that rmt is kept in check here mayhaps it would work, but would need some kind of limitation, like 1 char per account or something.

I offer red = blue escrow on Bob.
