The issue with RMT on P99 is due to the legality of it. As an emulated server, you don't want to be seen profiting off of an IP/Game you don't own. Recall the recent lawsuit with THJ. Emulated servers must be free and non-profit to stand a chance of surviving, unless they get express permission from the owners.
If P99 was it's own game and not an emulated server, RMT wouldn't be a big deal. Games like Diablo 2 have always had RMT, amd it was fine.

A birdie told me that the man himself, Mr. EverQuest, Bradford McQuadicus, via Johnboy Smedley were well aware of RMT happening on EQMac and P99 (in its early days) and were getting a cut of the massive, massive profits. Smedley was the President of Daybreak at the time.
