Again, I find it laughable when people make this point.

In 1999/2000, if you went to Ebay and typed "Everquest accounts" it was bursting with accounts. SoE was super shy on the banhammer; its a different beast when you ban people that are paying you $15 a month. The only dif was the fact people didnt talk about account sales publicly, so to say account sales weren't classic is flat out wrong.
You just confirmed that the buying and selling of accounts was not condoned nor allowed by Verant. thus, still showing that a rule-abiding player in 1999-2000 would never even consider it as a option.

The fact that you could ebay search accounts back in 1999 is actually pretty moot. It's prety common knowledge that nearly everything is for sale for the right price. That doesn't make it right to sell everything. You might actually recall that less than 200 years ago people were for sale here in the United States.

Seeing as this server seeks to recreate a classic experience, they should do eveything in thier power to stop it - which apparently isn't much atm. But at least there is some effort being put into it.
