Default Exchange and money

It seems to me that selling characters is how a lot of people make money for other characters on this server. I being the wonderfully new person to the server that I am, don't exactly understand that.
What is to be gained besides investing time into a character you just intend to sell to fund something else?
How many lazy people are there who just happen to have 30+ thousand to buy characters?

Ahh, that makes sense. I guess I'm too focused on my one character. I can see why people with a maxed main and some alts would just PL a money character, or level it up and fit with as good of gear as it can get since investing the small principle would yield a higher overall cost of the toon.

A lot of people on here are into doing old school quests, trade skills etc. Some people are tunnel rats buying re selling items just to make a little plat. There is a lot of people on here that know where to go to get maxium XP quick and do re sell toons.

This server is a real mix of how people in real life are. Some are real go getters and raid 5 days a week and some take 2 years just to get one toon to level 40 and never raid. Its what makes life go around.

I think it's mostly people getting bored/sick of characters or leaving the game and selling them off.

I think one of the problems you run into is that the server has been out a long time, accounts and eqemu's are free so assets can be liquidated quickly. Also, raiding here requires placing characters strategically, so at least 2 characters are required to raid racing targets effectively, and it's far easier to buy one of these abandoned characters than it is to raise another, although PLing here is also easy enough.

I can PL a rogue 1-60 in ~ 3-4 days of grinding. It's not hard. The real value of a char comes with their VP keys and VP loot, which is kept behind gates of raiding.

L60 mage ~ 150k - 200k base. The earth staff from inny is worth about 150-200k, again, because it's behind that gate of raiding.

Count me in this category, sad but true.

Yeah, I'm just playing to play. Going to take my time, no real reason to rush through things. I personally am not a big raider, but might near the end.
Right now (as I type this) I am soloing to inch my little xp bar further and further, in hopes of one day being the big bad witchdoctor people will love and respect, mostly love, little respect.

R99's stream of accounts available is particularly impressive given their population.
