The official RMTer Goodbye P1999 Thread

RMT might not make you Hitler, but it does make you selfish and disrespectful.

I get that... But there are also many people that have real lives, play, and don't break the rules. They get to continue their casual play without losing all of their legitimately earned items/platz.

Yeah like me for instance a self made Druid IRL too

I still can't believe that people actually spend their real money on plat or items. I mean, I can understand donating to the server because you think it's awesome (or whatever). But do people really care that much about having the best of the best items? C'mon! It's supposed to be a game you play for fun, I can't imagine that spending money on items and getting banned is really all that fun. Just play the game! O.o

Which makes me wonder.. how exactly is this server funded?

Good luck competing with the guilds here composed of people on unemployment and government benefits.

There's a great saying about fools and their money.

I forget the details, but you're a complete and utter fucking failure at life if the best thing you can do with a hundo is buy a fungi tunic on this server.

RMT is never going to stop. There is a demand so there will be a supply. In another 2 to 3 months its gonna pick back up again, then another 5 to 6 months from now there will be another ban wave. It'll just break the community again and allow a few select individuals to walk away with peoples money.

The only way to fix the problem is to release more content (velious), and regulate it and/or tax it (pay for server shit so the staff/donations doesn't have to). Taxing in a sense could be hard to do though cause it could pose legal problems for Rogean and the staff that run P99.

Something has to be done though unless the staff just likes playing the white knight card and doing "the gods work" of banning the "evil" rmters over, and over again...

The moral indignation in these threads are hilarious. You're all playing on a reverse-engineered server! A company spent a lot of time and effort into making this game and you're getting all of this for free! So everyone playing this game is a "dirty whistle" as one fellow likes to repeatedly say. To the others who are just flabbergasted that people would pay money to get an edge or have more fun in a game are either naive or stupid. Take a basic economics course. Most problems come with two solutions, you can spend time or money. If I have more money than time then I will probably take advantage of this and do whatever I can to have more fun with the limited play time that I have.

Yes, it's against the rules, but it was questionable how well this was being enforced (this is not the case anymore). When I bought plat there were multiple websites selling every item in the game as well as large amounts of platinum. To a newbie this sent the message that RMT were being paid lip service rather than being strictly enforced. The only people who really suffered were the buyers. The sellers made all of their money and probably knew the ban was eventually coming.

Anyways, I'm kind of relieved that I was banned. I could feel myself getting sucked back into the Evercrack, a true testament to the work of the staff. Oh and to all the moral high grounders yes I know I'm a complete scumbag and everything I've done in my lifeless is worthless, and you're correct in assuming that my parents never loved me.

you realize it's the combating rmt that allows the server to stay up right?

p.sure the whole "eqemu" thing is at the very least sanctioned by Sony and at the very most a service provided as an affiliated poopydoopydoo by them


That is to say, it's not like someone copied EQ files, hacked them up, recoded them to be classic, and tossed them onto a website and Sony just HASN'T NOTICED their massively profitable inellectual property being used on a massive scale out in the open

You should probably check your sources.

[moneysee]

It's definitely not legal, Sony has just looked the other way FOR NOW. Maybe they'll come out with their own God's Work banning [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
