Casinos

[Olscratch]

Tookie's uninstalled. Nice job on the anti-gambling crusade Derubael, Tookie was one of the coolest guys on the server.

Casinos are problematic for a number of reasons. Many people were getting scammed out of them as well as hiding other server forbidden activities behind them (use your imagination). Not only are these reasons enough but many EQLive servers DID prohibit their operations, and several MMO's in existance don't allow them either. Obviously as the behavior of the internet has evolved since 15 years ago, rules need to be adjusted to match.

So not only do you refuse to give specifics on what is allowed and what isn't, which is akin to congress writing laws that nobody is allowed to read, except for the title, but now you refuse to give the reasons why the law was written in the first place? Awesome transparency there. Are we really at the point where we have too many people playing on the server and so the solution is to do everything in order turn people off?

This is not a congress. You are not a tax paying citizen.

Unfortunately while there were plenty of legitimate people running casinos, for every one of them there were several people abusing the system. We can't single certain people out and say they are the only ones allowed to run casinos.

We are sorry for ruining your Everquest gambling experience. We realize that at this point in time the number of players we will lose due to this change may just vacate the box completely, but we vow to continue on despite the odds.

Wow so snarky and edgy

Can you teach me how to be as cool as you / dougie?

It took about 6 years for someone to feel important enough to make a decision on 'scamming people.' Seems to be a really important, hard-line decision imo.
Gotta save those precious seconds of those very important, very busy days! Can't be bothered wasting your time in *Everquest* of all places.

Never mind the 35 year olds shitting their own pants in VP every week, begging someone to wipe their ass!

Seems like only casino operators are having trouble with interpreting this rule. What a strange coincidence.

You are such a smug lame ass, dude. Stop talking.

Congress is not the only place where specific rules are placed so that there is no room for imagination and people know specifically what actions they are allowed to take. There are a million examples I could give from the real world, but how about one a little closer to home. When I launch the EQ Titanium client, the first thing I see is a EULA. This EULA is not overly vague. It is very specific about the rules regarding how you may use the software. I know you know these rules very well as you must stay within them to keep the server from being shut down due to violating this agreement. If they had written the EULA in an overly vague manner, P99 might not even exist. Or you might have put in a lot of work to create it and get it going, only to have it shut down because some new guy at SOE decided to interpret it differently. In fact, without specific rules, you would have not known how to structure the server in order to stay legal. And now you're handing down rules for your server that are so vague that nobody will know if they are breaking them or not. Do you see the disconnect here?

Dude, please un-install/delete the game.

The IQ of the server population is going to rise for about 10% with you gone.
