IB selling off all their Loot and Accounts, why?

[Silentone]

Are you guys leaving the server for EQmac?

-And if so why would you wan Plat? hmmm.......

-I mean the only other explanation would be you have bad repuations, you're sellling off your accounts to make new characters so you can walk around w/o hanging your head in shame?

dolla dolla bill yall

[Ereet]

You know, as someone who was demonized by a lot of people in IB for selling off a few "guild items" when I quit, I find it interesting how some of the same people now seem to have no problem with it.

all your $$ are belongz to me

[Szeth]

Look at it this way. If P99 can die the way it has this past week. So can P99.

And if jesus could be resurrected to walk the land as a zombie who talks to snakes and some floaty head in the sky... who knows what a Velious release can do.

[Szeth]

second p99 should say eqmac

[KentalCowtipper]

It would be nice if the GMs keep an eye on this in the coming weeks.
Shouldn't be too hard to log all transactions 100k+ and then to look at what those toons did with the money.

You're right - 100% no reason to sell your toon for plat unless you're rerolling another character. Which for some reason odd reason I doubt they are doing...

For example:

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=65929

"Highest end items for sale. PP only".

What is the purpose of clearing out their guild bank (seems like it is IB's guild bank- he says "Manastone(s)" and "Orb of Tishan(s)" because he doesn't know exactly how many they have) if not to make phat stacks o bills?

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=65915 - Szeth

http://www.project1999.org/forums/showthread.php?t=65914 - Cyrano
(doesn't say his toon but is 100% of his gear)

Each of the 3 above listed sales has the potential to generate 100's of thousands if not millions of plat. It can't be that hard for the admins to track transactions of this level and make sure the plat is not being sold for real money.

[Kinsawt]

All of my items are my own/bought. The guild bank items I have are as follows:

RBB
Gauntlets of Fiery Might
Blood Ember Legs
Blood Ember BP
Bladestopper
Puppet Strings
Shield of Rainbow Hues
Staff of Forbidden Rights

Just, since you're keeping such tight tabs on me.

[Diggles]

that's after you sold, right?

[Ereet]

Kins, clearly I have no problem with people selling items they earned while they were raiding so I'm not trying to put you on blast here, but you're also selling a Dragon Hero Bracer, which I know there are not a lot of on the market (probably just mine). Again, just think it is funny that I was turned into some greedy bad guy for selling off my items in light of what is going on now.

[KentalCowtipper]

So Kin.. enlighten us. What the point in liquidating everything you own for platinum? Anything you could possible want to buy to reroll a new toon with you own or could own trade for.
You can easily buy a new 60 toon or whatever level you want with any one of the various items you're selling (its an impressive sale list I'll give ya that - just missing a Pre-Nerf Staff and some Trak BPs & VS Legs lol). No need to sell all your items unless you're quitting.

And if you're quitting what use do you have for all that plat? Hmmm..
So what are you going to do when you amass several million platinum? Give it away to noobs in EC?

A far more likely scenario-

Big money big money no whammmy!

[Kinsawt]

Yea, that was bought bro. There are a lot of people selling guild loot, it's definitely their right too. But the guild bank isn't being touched, and I'm not one of those people. You know this.

[Ereet]

Couldn't find a $100 bill image that wasn't like 2,000 pixels wide?

[Swarws]

Maybe I will give the whole guild bank away in a single /rand 1000 in EC to a single person.... I bet somenoe would be happen winning 50 million plat worth of gear in a single roll..

YOU NEVER KNOW..

Never forget..

[Swarws]

Happen = Happy.

Sorry typing quickly at work..

[Jimes]

itt: RMTers trying to pretend like they aren't obviously RMTers.

[KentalCowtipper]

Yeah.. no one can tell what you guys are going to do with all that plat. Im sure you'll give away millions to random people in EC.
:D

Only way I imagine them not being caught with transactions of this size would be if someone in their guild knew someone in a position of authority and somehow a portion of the proceeds changed handds.
Of course no names mentioned....

I support RMT and think its a viable source of income in this economy. TMO are such losers that they worry about everyone on the servers lewtz. How about u all stfu and mind your own buisness.

If IB really is selling off all their loot, then I have to ask... how much for a white dragonscale? And how much for a singing steel BP?

Yes some IB are fed up and selling their shit. BFD. If you aren't the seller or a buyer, I don't see what damned busines it is of yours.

[Silentone]

almost 1 year ago, must have been rough for you was right about when you got caught boxing and stuff and were put on suicide watch..

[IronLikeALionInZion]

brb. gotta take a dump. too much pbr, last night. cord wont reach that far.

[bman8810]

If they are intending to RMT (which seems like the case) then I wouldn't expect to see a transaction occur for several months; i.e. sell it, let the plat sit for a couple months until everyone forgets, sell it.

[IronLikeALionInZion]

bman sounds like he has done this before

or his

tin foil hat

just dropped

[bman8810]

Common sense is common.

[KentalCowtipper]

Nah Cheatashan he's been in TMO for a while. Not his fault you don't log on your own toon but instead let him be passed around like a 3 dollar Bangkok hooker amongst your former/current/currently imploding guildmates. I was wondering about Eashan in VP last night.. the real Eashan could have trained much better. Of course thats probably just due to the third party programs you were using in addition to boxing.

[bman8810]

And I would hope my mages' gear would be better than gatorscale sleeves + a torch of alna if I had RMTd :P

[Szeth]

No, just the opposite. You would sell ALL your stuff for RMT and thus have nothing of value to wear.

[bman8810]

RMT works both ways. Considering I am still playing, why would I RMT all of my 45 mages gear?

[Estrang]

That's the benefits of being in a position of power in any organization.

It's the mmo version of discretionary earnings. Distribute as you see fit and in this case it's personal gain.

Just feels like they are doing a publicity stunt to get the server admins to notice them more. I guess they just aren't used to gm's not pandering to their every whim.

How quickly we forget the threat of the mass exodus of TMO last time something went against them....

Let's face it, no one is out to get anyone. No matter what decisions the gm's make, the losing side is going to get pissed about it.

[Harrison]

Lol remember alarti's meltdown on the forums?

That shit was fucking amazing.

It's nothing but melodrama.

I don't, refresh me; coming from someone in a permanent state of meltdown it means little.

Let's face it, no one is out to get anyone. No matter what decisions the gm's make, the losing side is going to get pissed about it.

The difference is the order of magnitude....tmo wanted to leave when there was rampant corruption on the server stemming from ib players cheating/hacking/exploiting and getting short suspensions. Not to mention 2 gm's(1 former and 1I then current) providing early access to ib players for raid readiness. Not to mention 2 boxers who were not being bothered because they were friend of server admin.

To compare that to a situation where ib is taking a 2 day longer suspension for a more serious offense with 100% of the evidence and their complicit partner guild getting off free . Ya not even similar.

[Harrison]

Insulting staff now? You're so butthurt it's hilarious.

Former staff who left or were removed. Also, waiting on that meltdown you were talking about, or is this yet another baseless harrison post?

RMT's are actually good for the server health. They allow people who value their time more than their money to play on this server by getting rid of the barriers to entry (boring grinding). There's no real reason to actively look for people engaging in RMT's unless you want the server population to continue to decline.

This doesn't matter unless the people running the server are selling items and platinum for real money.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperinflation

This is completely irrelevant. Enjoy your econ 101 class though!

[Nakara]

Nakara you're an idiot, RMTers put the entire server at risk of being shut down just for one persons greedy ambitions to profit off this project.

Sorry but unless the people running the server are engaged in RMT there is no real risk.

[Hitchens]

Your premise is flawed in that the sole basis in which you judge the server's health is:

1) The volume of new players joining.
2) The ease in which they can achieve high levels.

If Project1999 were a business and I had a stake in profits, I'd agree with you. But it isn't, so I don't.

[Bruman]

Sorry but unless the people running the server are engaged in RMT there is no real risk.

Do you really think the P99 guys are going to lawyer up and take it to court?

No - one C&D letter from Sony and that's probably going to be it. How "valid" the case would be doesn't matter.

P99 has received multiple C&D letters. Probably could have funded EQmac for 2years with the stamps alone.

Really? News to me. I'll have to take your word on it, unless Rogean/Nilbog comment. I guess it'd be whatever is past a C&D letter then - as in, when they actually got a court summons or something.

[Autotune]

they have posted about the C&D letters before, I'm not sure how long ago the last one was, but they (p99) made it clear they've received a good amount.

Apparently the legal department of Sony/EQ whatev sends them whenever they deem anything to even be remotely questionable.

However, If they found that people were making money off this server and they weren't getting their cut, i'd imagine the whole thing would get shut down pretty fast. They'd just need a decent amount of proof.

[Nirgon]

They'd just need a decent amount of proof.

Yeah like someone getting banned from RMT and providing such proof out of spite.
