It has become increasingly evident that the staff and GMs of project1999 do not care that there has been RMT going on here on P99.

Therefore I have decided to take this wonderful business opportunity!

COME ONE COME ALL
MADHATTA'S HOUSE OF REAL MONEY TRADE IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS

I am selling everything you might need:

Kunark armor sets?
Got 'em!

What about that manastone you've always wanted to get your hands on?
ONLY TEN DOLLARS!

Please post here with the following form filled out

Item wanted (or amount of platinum desired):
Times usually online:
Offered price (in real life money of course):
GM that you want alerted who won't care (Uthgaard prefered):

Thank you DALIANT and SZETH (edit: and RELAPSE/HAUL) for opening the doors to such wonderful business opportunities for me and all our fellow P99'ers.

HAPPY RMT'ing!

Everyone who has ever been involved with RMT has been BANNED. People currently involved in RMT are currently being BANNED. Anyone who gets involved with RMT in the future will be BANNED. ZERO exceptions. ZERO RMT transactions have gone unnoticed EVER. RMT IS against server rules and you WILL get BANNED if you RMT.

DON'T RMT OR YOU WILL BE BANNED

Not true, my friend really needed some plat the other day for his alt that he boxes, so i logged on to my alt that I box and gave him some in exchange for 5$.

RMT that went unnoticed.

I really need some GEBS but I dont want to be banned, so I wonder if you would accept monopoly money? I know its only paper but so is real money. Please let me know if you are interested in my paper money transaction (PMT).

If people would stop caring and buying, there wouldn't be any problems. So it's two-sided.

If people are being banned for RMTing or anything else for that matter they should be named and shamed... At least this way people may think twice about it.

We do NOT maintain a public ban list and will NEVER maintain a public ban list so "Name and shame" has no place. You guys can drop it.

Sirken and I had a convo about this yesterday. Imagine if your GM's were human, and maybe sometimes they make a mistake and ban an innocent person (Innocent people go to jail IRL too....shit happens)

So let's say I misread my evidence and ban someone for RMT and name and shame them. Human nature dictates that it is not likely that I am going to come back at a later date EVEN AFTER figuring out I was wrong and rescind that ban. Personally I would just come out and say "Hi i made a mistake" and take the person off of the public ban list but the problem is that people in game wouldn't always believe your name had been cleared etc. They would still always look at you in a negative fashion.

(brief comparison: Elementary school teacher John Smith is arrested for child molestation though he has done nothing wrong at all. His name is 100% cleared by the police and he is released and everything is expunged. but because the media has "Name and shame" 'd him already...there is NO way he would ever be able to get a job working with children again. Most people in the community would ALWAYS Look at him as a sex offender)

So name and shame will never happen but c'mon guys - it's not that hard to figure out if people were banned. here today...gone tomorrow.

That's a lot of effort to protect the very few mistakes over the confirmed hundreds, if not thousands, of pieces of shit. (Not to mention the very positive effect a public ban list has on a community, hence why FPS communities keep them.)

I find the "we might make a mistake" a very, very, poor reason (if not an excuse) to not keep a public ban list.

they could just roll a new toon or change toon name if shame was too great. hell there are people who have had multiple toons banned for all sorts of shit and just reroll and openly admit its them. former guild still embraces them because pixels > integrity of server. of course im speaking about red which somehow as a slightly cleaner whistle then the infested RMT blue. but still people wanna shit on the server then shit back on them.

Amelinda
05-08-2012, 12:11 PM
Harrison: it's not happening. get over it.
Samwise: We will NOT change people's names so they can escape their reputation. soooo seems kinda unfair.

at any rate name & shame is kinda trashy IMO and i'm glad rogean & nilbog don't have it.

If you commit RMT on eve for currency the currency is taken from your account and you go negative on how much you bought. Seems like it would work well here if we did it.

Amelinda..... youre going off the deep end..


Rieker is correct, a list isnt trashy, this bullshit is trashy.

Pedo lists are out there for anyone to read and figure out where they are at. Why? Because they are a fucking cancer upon our RL communities.... Whats the diff here?

Im sure atleast 90% of people who look at a sex offender (atleast with children) Can come flat out and say i wish they were just dead or gone.

We want these motherfuckers gone, we want these motherfuckin names.

Tired of playing here when it feels like im just fucking myself in the ass with a broken 2 x 4

While I would never RMT, to me it defeats the entire purpose of playing the game, to compare someone who buys items in a game to someone who molests a child is simply ignorant.

PS. people that use RL cash to buy stuff in a game completely baffles me and is quite comical

id never do it, but it doesnt baffle me - nor should it baffle anyone.

how many hours have all of us spent trying to get the gear/levels these people are paying for.

If we assume 1000 plat would take an hour at an uncontested Seafury spawn, and 1000 plat costs let's guess $15?

Im pretty sure most of us are making 15+/h in real life, so at least the RMTers have their priorities straight.

Everquest is one of the games that really encourages RMTing because the gearing is so terrible. You can't get level appropriate gear the way the game is designed. Almost nothing worth wearing is soloable, and by the time you get a group and fight to a place where something spawns some ultra high level has already walked past all the mobs and is spawning the rare for cash. Take the flowing black silk sash for instance. The first real haste item you can get your hands on. I'd love to see a group of lvl 40 chars get in there and take the camp. Not impossible, but very impractical. And good luck getting the camp from the lvl 60 necro that has it locked down.

It's not trashy, it's effective. If you glanced at the forum and saw something like THIS (http://uthgard.net/en/forum/viewforum.php?f=44&sid=d3b9cb503225898c1d4286c62b7e9b97) you would be much less likely to try anything that might break the rules.

Is it trashy to require a public registry of sex offenders?

going with the sex offender registry might have been to narrow an example.


Most states have public criminal records data bases you can search on the internet.

you can find out some interesting shit on people you work with or friends / family.


Also a good way to figure out who is a piece of shit irl.. so why not in a video game.


From reading their responses though.. the only reason they don't want to publish a list is they would have to admit they might make a mistake every once in a while and wouldn't be able to hold onto the illusion that they are perfect.

Much easier to pretend you are perfect than apologize for the occasional mistake amirite.
