Default Bye P1999 from Sandows

Just to the few of you out there who knew me well enough from grouping, etc. My account was banned for RMT, in retrospect I feel like an idiot for not trying to find out if it was against the rules or not. (I legitimately didnt know) I had multiple other players I grouped with along the way tell me about Platlord and figured...well if other people in game are doing it, why can't I.....it must be ok.

I bought 15k (twice) and twinked a lowbie rogue and got some gear for myself...I finally wasnt the only twink in groups. I had no interest in doing any more RMT, no reason to go crazy but for once I felt I wasn't undergeared in every group I was in.

I guess a lot of people probably already know RMT is a bannable offense, I didn't...again I guess that is my own fault for being ignorant/not being on the forums all the time. I just relied on information from players in the game....you know kind of like back in P1999.

Just wanted to say goodbye to those of you I shared good times with, I don't have enough time to think about leveling up another character from scratch after already doing it once. I am really going to miss this game, I hope this saves someone else from doing what I did.

damn. is rmt really this prominent?

i kind of feel left out.

i also kind of feel like a winner for not spending money on a 14 yr old emulated version of a game.

for real though sorry to hear that man, can always start over, though i can see why you'd not want to.

i wont troll, lesson learned. my only question is how does one think this is not against the rules? like seriously, its like buying drugs from a guy at a corner and not knowing it was illegal. if it were not against the rules, i assure this project would have the business on lock-down and making $$$$

Kinda hard to use that as a example. Drugs are illegal in RL and your always taught not to buy/use them. Today's MMO's make it ok to spend RL money on games so people just sometimes think its ok to do it here.

Didnt use paypal, used google wallet. No red flags for me, guess I have to live and learn. I'm still very upset about losing my character regardless, not blaming anyone. I genuinely hope this doesn't happen to anyone else under similar circumstances.

Well Sam...it could be the fact that pretty much every current MMO has RMT built into it =p
