what about casino license? you can earn it, you can lose it, bit of work for the staff, but clean server....

I agree, it's not hard to put a rule that says only licensed casinos are allow to run on the p99 server. Licensed Casinos have to be tested by a CSR or GM and have stipulations like must have been active for 2 years etc easy to do... they rather not do it..

You want a classic EQ response?

"The ruling/ban is final. Deal with it."
"Someone corpse camping you on a PvP server for 24/7 so your corpse decays with all items because you were dumb enough to insult the said bard? Deal with it."

I really appreciate the 0% chance of ever happening Luclin-era npc casino teaser he gave us.
" In the future we may add gambling NPC's to provide a safe, server friendly way to gamble here on Project 1999, but for the time being there will be no sanctioned gambling on either server."

And so a few pages later we learn that in fact scamming is not the primary reason for this ban, but RMT money funneling is. I'll buy you a jump-to-conclusions mat in celebration.

Have you ever played a card game with friends for money? Made Bets etc? If so, that's illegal. You're not going to have the police knocking down your door for it though.

in all seriousness, i never understood the desire to "gamble" with other players EQ. so i have no way of understanding the level of any disappointment this has for some players, if any.

personally, i liked getting a RNF thread every once in a while from a tool bag that got ripped off and thought anyone was going to help him. it makes me laugh laugh laugh all the night long. i guess its less funny for GMs, so i understand the ban.

Why are people surprised that a form of entertainment being taken away has made people mad? If anything, the shame should go to the dolts that cried about being scammed.

We hope that this change will make for a safer trading community and help protect the players on our server.

Well that's a nice sentiment but it's well known to most of the server that casinos will do anything to protect their reputation and are considered the most reliable people in the tunnel to help someone with an item or plat transfer. I've done 1000 of em.

Welcome to less safe trading community.

Best part of the thread is the "discrimination" and the guy who brought up Rosa Parks, but there's also the guy comparing congress to EQ EMU, while at the same time being a moran saying "Is attacking a blue con mob ok anymore" so much good stuff!
