Are cross server item/plat trades considered RMT? (blue to red etc.)

[tristantio]

Just wondering the rules on these transactions as I've seen them pop on occasion in EC chat.

I know p99 items/plat for any alternate game items is considered RMT.

What about for items on red? What about for items on other EQEMU servers?

How do the rules apply to things like PL? (trading, for instance, 5 hours of PL on p99 for PL on another game)? I'd assume that falls into the RMT territory as well?

I'm 90% certain this was explicitly allowed for red/blue trades by the GMs (the same way the normal 2-boxing rule is relaxed when you play on red and blue at the same time). Don't ask me to provide a thread though as I have no idea when/where I read that.

As for any game/server other than red/blue (even other EQ Emu servers), I think any trading whatsoever = RMT.

red to blue, blue to red is acceptable

Don't listen to cheaters and scammers like this loser.



(but yeah you can trade cross server I am sure, 100%)

I think it's stupid they allow it. I'd imagine this is annoying for tracking down RMTing. When dudes just say "no I spent 200k red plat for a Lamentation on blue". Whereas it's usually pretty easy to see someone handing a level 1 noob 250k for free and guess yea he probably plat lorded that.

I have known people to spend maybe $20 max on in-game currency. And that was a game with thousands and thousands of players. This game has less than 1400.. Is someone really going to spend very much on plat if at all for this game? 250k is like.. $300+ isn't it?

*Redacted* has had high-priced items like Fungal Tunics and raw plat in huge denominations for quite awhile now. In fact, you can see them for sale even now:

*EDIT* Forgot there's a rule against posting RMT info. The point I was trying to make was, people do it, and if you try (not very hard) you can easily find evidence of RMT vendors.

You can look at it as a positive though: this server is so awesome and people love it so much that they are willing to drop hundreds of dollars just to "catch up" to people that started earlier. I 100% think they shouldn't be able to do so, but I can't help but take the fact that there is such demand as a compliment to the server.

Now, just because he's selling doesn't necessarily mean anyone is buying, but I think it's pretty obvious he wouldn't be putting in all the trouble to sell unless he had customers.

Why would you link that shit here? Really [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

OP didn't believe that people really RMTed, so I took all of 5 seconds to Google some proof that they do in fact RMT. Anyone else can find the exact same link in the same 5 seconds of Googling. That being said, I took the link down since *EDIT* I don't want to break any rules.

Honestly though, people who would RMT, but don't, don't do it because:

• they fear of getting banned
• they respect for their fellow players
• they want their fellow players to respect them
• they lack enough real world money

Mostly the first one I'd imagine. It's not like someone is just browsing along one day thinking "gee I really wish I could buy some P99 platinum, but I've never heard of a search engine before ... wait, there's a link? Time to RMT!"


*EDIT* On further reflection I realize that there is in fact a forum rule about posting RMT links that I (foolishly) violated. For some reason I was thinking of the rule as "don't promote RMT" (which I most certainly wasn't). However, the GMs shouldn't have to make a distinction between idiots like me and people who actually are promoting it, so I'll not be an ass and follow the rules (and so I have removed the link and even the mention of the infamous RMTer).
