View Full Version : TAKE THE 'NO' OUT OF CASINO

we all know Bush can't melt steel beams/jet fuel knocked down the towers...
but did you know that EQ casinos are CLASSIC? And that the goal of this server is to MAINTAIN CLASSIC?
It's not classic EQ if you can't lose your fake money to some level 5 bard in EC and sob uncontrollably
It's not classic EQ if you can't win double or nothing three times in a row and suddenly have 100K and then beat off furiously to the pixels on your screen
This is a rant. It is posted in the Rants and Flames section of the project1999.com Forum. The topic of this rant is the alarming lack of Casinos in our server which is supposed to be "Classic EQ." I have posted this rant because I am seriously worried for the sanity of my peer and comrade Greengrocer, who was deeply affected by the destruction of EC Tunnel Casinos.

casinos are great. Like most of the shit policies on this server, they would not need to be banned if ataff just refused to remunerate anyone scammed by a phony one.

The removal of casinos has nothing to do with people being scammed. It has to do with people using them as a front for RMT.

Wouldn't that *gasp* make RMT easier to track?
Nah that'd make too much sense.

This. Casinos on live were always fun. The RMT laundry argument is weak (casino operators are literally blasting their name in OOC as a person of RMT interest. Plus why do you actually give a damn about 100% policing RMT on your free, nonprofit server unless it's cutting into your monopoly?).
The reality is it's a nonclassic power trip based on the distaste for casinos that has always existed in a lot of the EQ playerbase. I remember casino operators catching shit from the community back in the day too. They can get spammy and lots of moral police just have a base Christian reaction to the idea. The rule itself is just a matter of there being no-life nerds who make believe that they somehow improve the server by giving themselves little mini-orgasms enforcing superfluous rules, policing the raid scene and playerbase and calling dead people pieces of shit.

Casinos never got banned on Bristlebane, unless it was after I quit during DoD.
Maybe its because the server wasn't filled with shitheads looking to scam.

Casinos are banned in Texas, but they are allowed in Louisiana. Therefore, it follows that while casinos are banned in Antonica, they would be allowed in Velious???

I was a casino operator on another emulated server for a while. Would never have considered scamming, because reputation is everything. It was good time, people enjoyed it, and I had "regulars".
Roulette baby!
/random 0-10
Bet on any number for 10 to 1 payout, bet on odd or even for 2 to 1 payout, bet on < or > 5 for 2 to 1.
0 = house wins always (player cannot bet on 0)
Fun times!

What if each casino operator put "Please remember to gamble responsibly" in their shout/auction? That's how it works here in the UK.

Not as bad as here in my state in the US where one of the touted benefits of gambling is that a portion of proceeds will go to gamblers anonymous groups.

And holy shit was there a limit you can bet? A LOT better odds than most, astronomically better, I would've been visiting your establishment A LOT.

In all seriousness, it's pretty obvious why gambling increases RMT. Gambling addicts will go great lengths to feed their addiction. Buying EQ money on the internet is not much a stretch for these people.
It also might be hard to keep track of RMT payouts from a dev standpoint.

Made 70k in a week running one. They're awesome, and that was just sitting in EC for a couple hours a night before red server went up.
Sucks they were ruined because of scumlords.

It's not that people are RMTing so they can play casinos lol. It was too easy to use it as a cover for moving large amounts of plat around with nothing traded in exchange. Just like Chardok AE, PLing and account sales. 2/4 so far guys lets get this server cleaned up.
