A new server would be cool

[Aenor]

Listening to the stream about RMT. It confirms what we already knew. The entire history of Red99 was rendered non legit by rampant RMT that the staff belatedly made strides to address. Not going to bother playing on the current Red server. Appreciate the staff stepping up its efforts to address RMT, but it came to late to make Red99 legit. Look forward to a new server in 2019.

Ok thanks.

Let us know in 2019 if you ever got a piece of gear from waiting in line on Blue.

[Sk00ba5t3v3]

I wonder how much RMT is on blue. I would imagine probably at least 10x as much as on Red?

[Sektor]

I was guilty of doing this, glad I stopped.

[daasgoot]

if you listened to the stream you would have heard deru say that there is way more RMT on blue than red. Also that Nizzar was caught for RMT in 1 case, but was not suspected to be a huge RMTer.

next excuse?

[Recycled Children]

Make your own server?

[Farzo]

I was guilty of doing this, glad I stopped as of lastweek.

Yep, super mad about not having pixels. Actually I detect a lot of mad in this thread from those who are mad about having the legitimacy of their pixels cast in a bad light. Don't worry about me, I'll see you in 2019. Enjoy your RMT'd gainz.

How exactly does RMTing an item make it invalid? It was legitimately looted off a legitimately killed mob. Not like people are going Sektor style and paying GMs to make them items here.

[Gnomegrown]

same idiot still starting teams threads

[Beethoven]

The entire history of red99 is rendered non-legit? What about me and many others i know who worked for what they have and will continue to do so?

RMT stuff is messed up, but come on now, lets get real..... ANYONE can play here and get legitimately geared and be helped by other legit players who never gave so much as a thought to paying money for anything here.

Don't blame some bad apples for why you refuse to play on the greatest EQ1 PvP server of all time since live. There has been, and always will be a massive player base who have always, and will continue, to grind away and enjoy this server the way it was meant to be played.

Don't get sucked into propaganda people

No offense to Haynar because the guy is putting in allot of hard work, but he never played a red server. A blue programming red is like watching a surgeon operate in a pitch black room.

Nihilum members rationalizing RMT and saying it doesn't hurt the server never gets old. Keep the laughs coming.

[Mac Drettj]

No wipe ever

Working as intended

[Buhbuh]

I keep bringing up the unpopular opinion I have toward RMT and literally no one addresses it.

So I'm just going to stop and wish you all the best, Aenor. If you're truly not playing here and don't care, you have no more to contribute to these forums, I'd hope.

See ya

[Amuck]

Wipe the server clean, all those who RMT'd will lose hundreds of dollars in items that poofed. threaten the new server with another wipe if RMT is even mentioned. People will stop spending the hard earned money to these fucking losers with no lives farming all day, don't get me wrong the people buying these pixels are idiots as well. Fresh, Clean, Brand New Server FTW.

[runlvlzero]

Wipe it Clean 2014 was my favorite forum account.

[Gnomegrown]

after everything that's happened if they don't wipe I don't see how this is playable

[Mac Drettj]

why would it be unplayable if theres no wipe?

how does a wipe make the game better for you personally?

[Aenor]

Only reason not to wipe would be if staff took a cut.

[heartbrand]

Server better than ever and u askin for wipe?

[Agatha]

i don't see how RMT effects me, i play the most out of everyone on this server, and if someone wants to spent a dollar on EQ so he doesn't want to lvl and gear himself, good for him, and good for the pixel farming obama-care poor person.

shit.

If the staff is serious about combating RMT, they gotta wipe. Cleanse all of the ill begotten pixels.

Can someone explain in a rational way how someone selling an item for real money makes it "invalid" please?

[Niedar]

I just started playing on here, no thanks on a wipe. How you think wipe can solve RMT I don't know. It would probably encourage it even more.

[Nirgon]

RMT problem was cut by about 95% as of recent events.

( on red )

[Aenor]

wiping just means RMT would start again the same day.

If the staff is serious about addressing RMT on a new server it should make all items no-drop on Teams and disable multiquesting. This would eliminate the phenomenon of guild leaders running their guilds as a multi-year RMT operation. You want a fungi? You camp it. You want your epic? You must be present to loot every drop.

Without this measure, Teams99 will simply be a repeat of Blue, Red and every other server in Everquest history. A zerg will emerge and whoever controls the guild bank and access to raids will be able to skim off the top. Instead of two years of Nihilum raiding the same content over and over to stockpile multiquests, guilds would become more personal. Sure, guild leaders could still sell raid access, but it becomes more obvious when the person has to be present to receive their items. Instead of a zerg full of faceless warm bodies, your guild would be people who took the time to help you get what you needed. With multiquesting disabled, instead of Nilly 2.0 spending two years raiding the same content over and over, ideally, once the 6th alt was fully geared, those player would go, you know, PvP.

[Aenor]

Too late to make the server legit.

[Gnomegrown]

why are you still talking about teams99

are you that fucking dumb?

[Sk00ba5t3v3]

From what I can tell, staff isn't really concerned with RMT. Just getting rid of players as a result of the highest level of Lawyerquesting.

[Aenor]

why are you still talking about teams99

You got a link to a dev saying teams isn't happening? Because the last time I watched a Sirken stream, he told me development would resume after Velious. I tend to believe what he tells me more than 2014 join date guy who is probably hiding from his rep on another account.

Nizzar was a known RMTer from Blue before Red ever came online. The staff knew exactly what he was doing for every minute of it. Why they played/play dumb, I don't know. But for two years the staff allowed Nizzar to run Nihilum as an RMT operation. I guess they eventually got tired of him. Maybe the donations weren't rolling in anymore because nobody (besides fucking losers like yourself and other dipshits who post on every thread) gives a mother fuck about this server anymore. All cleared up now?

Reread his question and then your answer outloud

[Shutt]

The difference in RMT on blue and red is that on blue it doesn't negatively impact play due to being griefed by super twinks. Don't need a new server, need a server wipe and for the rules to be enforced regardless of those involved, being a cash donor or not. Pay to play killed SOE's server/game, why wouldn't you think it would do the same here.

[mitic]

why does rmt make a server not legit ? same would apply to blue then with over 600 banned rmt chars.

I would understand it if u would talk about exploits but rmt?

[Gustoo]

RMT has same negative impact on all servers.

Misleading statement. There is RMT on both servers. If anything there is less on Red than Blue.

I'm not sure what past GM's uncovered, but the guild-related RMT was only recently brought to our attention with enough evidence to be taken seriously. Again, still less on Red than on Blue, and in Nihilum's case specifically was not that wide-spread. Nizzar certainly was participating in RMT but not in huge volumes and no where near the capacity that it's done on Blue.

I don't really see how this would effect the play-ability of the server as a whole, either. It's not like items were duped or anything like that - they were simply sold for RL cash instead of platinum.

To be honest I never realised Nizzar actually RMTed until I saw the video Sektors posted and saw some of the other R99 players listed in that video... RIP Ganka, woulda been awesome running around with an extra aussie...

How is that possible? Even claiming 0 you don't get taxed 50% in any state. Maybe you have like 15% going to 401K, expensive insurance, a bunch coming out for an FSA or somethin?

You pretty much answered it yourself. $17,500/year in 401k, insurance, federal, and state taxes reduce it real quick. I doubt many max out their 401(k) with that income but easily possible.

[Kaahbal]

So u guys think 3800 USD a month is much?

[Kergan]

It's probably slightly above average income here tbo. Depending on where you live and how much you're taxed, how much you're putting into 401k, insurance, hsa/fsa etc it could be up to an 80k/yr job.

I'm sure a wipe would just mean many people that acquired equipment thru RMT would just pay RL currency for a set of twinkage again.

A wipe wouldn't just clean the server of RMT 'taint' it would also clear many thousands hours of 'legitimate' work/play, which could make clean whistlerers hesitant to reroll.

On the subject of wipes/new rule sets, I always suspect EC mart of being a crutch for many people that weren't able to get out in to the game and actually earn their gear themselves; instead those players would sit on relatively easy cash camps (or RMT) and pay other players to gear them out. I really enjoyed the suggestion of making all items no drop, but I'd make a few alterations.

Most items would be unable to be traded among players, with the exception of items used or produced by trade skills... and maybe basic adventuring supplies like bandages.

Items could still be sold to merchants for cash, but merchant wouldn't be able to then sell these items back to the player base.

MQs would also not be allowed.

... I appreciate this probably wouldn't be a very popular rules set (neither red nor blue) so before anyone calls me out on it, no I won't make my own server :P.

Not huge amounts as in if you were playing this game you wouldn't see a difference with your experience if the RMT had never happened. It wasn't game changing.

RMT isn't as bad as exploiting or other types of cheats. That is the worst for servers and if you are going to complain about anything with this server it should be the early abuse that happened at server start. With that said Kunark has been out for so damn long that pretty much anyone that puts in time and has played for 6 months + has whatever they want anyways so who cares?
