The Economy is the game to some people. Just like some people want to raise all their Tradeskills or some people want to farm a bunch of outdated and useless items just to say they have them.

This. What a few of you are saying, in that you don't understand the point of acquiring that much platinum, are ignoring that gameplay enjoyment is relative. Some people enjoy the grind, some people enjoy playing the endgame. Some people enjoy random questing, tradeskills, other things that other people may view as "pointless". There have always been people that have and will enjoy making as much money as they can, although admittedly they are in the minority.

As far as the selling character issue goes, I feel like the necessary steps from the GMs have already been taken in removing real life money from transactions. The arguments against being allowed to sell and trade accounts are easily handled by the player base. If you are concerned that someone is not able to play their class because they bought their character, group with them before inviting them to important groups or your guild. If they are bad, don't invite them back. If they are good, it's irrelevant.

If this server is supposed to have a true classic feel, well, this was definitely a part of the game. If someone wants to buy a character, they most certainly understand the risks that run with it in regards to buying a character with a poor reputation. If it isn't infringing on anyones ability to play the game, it isn't an issue that the GMs need to bother with.

The economy is going to be fucked up beyond recognition. Folks are so bored and there's so much plat out there. This is why characters are bought and sold. I expect to see some REALLY insane offers on items for sale once Kunark comes out. It may slow down and prices will become NORMAL again after a while - if we're lucky. IMO go play another game if you are bored, quit fucking up shit for the rest of us [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

That's kind of always been the problem.

There's nowhere to put plat except in the banks of other players.

Could one of you clarify something for me regarding this because I'm kind of clueless.

Say a person starts playing on their own account then buys another account. Then they alternately play each account (not simultaneaously). Is that not breaking any rules?

Basically, is it ok to have two accounts from the same IP as long you don't play them both at the same time?

It is not breaking any rules here if it's purchased with plat and not real money.

And you can have as many accounts as you like, but only one account can be played at a given time. (like, you can log out of your warrior on one account and then into your cleric on another... just not both at the same time)

Ok thanks.

I asked that question because I did create two accounts so two members of my family could each have a separate account. But we don't play at the same time so I thought it was ok.

I began to wonder if I was wrong because I just got IP banned today and I have no idea why.
