Actually shocked they don't.

On Live, the server GM's were ruthless and would openly mock after banning "big names" on the server for breaking the rules (hacking usually on Live)

Would probably prevent some of the bigger names caught in RMT from partaking, since we know online reputation means a lot to some of these people.

On live forum if you even mention another character's name you're suspended.

They could be hacking and caught on camera, but you'll eat the ban if you bring it up for discussion.

I don't know how it is now, but I'm talking pre-2006/2007ish

Sounds like someone doesn't raid.
Sounds like someone has some good sense about them.

Not a defender of RMT by any means, but it is inaccurate to suggest it isn't classic. EQ items were being ebayed from shortly after launch, leading to the various articles and academic papers about how the EQ economy was situated somewhere between Bulgaria and Russia in terms of GDP - e.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/sci/tech/1899420.stm Anecdotally, I met a guy at a party at U of M in 2001 who claimed to have made >$100k ebaying fbss' in the early days when he could charge $3k a pop. Probably an empty boast but not impossible...

Then, as I understand it, the plat to dollar conversion plummeted after the whole rog dev/fake banker in befallen scandal. https://www.takproject.net/forums/in...befallen.4337/

Prohibiting RMT is definitely better for the game, but there are those moments when I think about the time I spend farming guards for my fungi as contrasted with my billable rate in the real world. I have to take a second and remind myself that I actually enjoyed smashing guards, or the napkin math would be seriously depressing.

Thank you for all the hard work, for giggles posting a hit list in the future with names would make it all the more sweater.
