Default staff run RMT

Just when you thought p99 couldn't get any more corrupt and toxic, they keep piling it on.

Anyway, they've added a stretch goal of $17,500 from Welgrim's Extra Life charity that unlocks a Guise of the Deceiver. Help them hit the mark before 8am CST!

just to make something very clear. nobody is able to buy any items for p99 here. players can donate for a chance to be entered into a raffle. and various community members have donated items and plat to be given away as prizes.

Norova is running a 24hr live charity stream over at: http://www.twitch.tv/norova

even if you cant donate, please stop by. higher view count will draw more attention, and that attention will hopefully bring in more donations to help dying children.

So just to clarify.

RMT = bad
Casinos = bad

RMT + Casinos = good

How do you not understand that this concept parallels the concept of RMT? This "charity" sounds a lot like something RMT sellers would come up with in order to launder their goods.

Is it a crime to love children?

Guess it depends on how you show that love...

I hope posts like these are just trollin, or I am going to need to launch into a long explanation as to how this was verified and ensured to be legit - we went as far as requiring a donation list to be provided and took additional steps to ensure this list could not be forged.

It's not like this was just put on without being thoroughly vetted first, with a host of stipulations, rules, and regulations being applied in order for the event to be allowed. Norova can attest to how complete and inflexible his contract was - and needed to be - in order to put this fundraiser on. Really glad it turned out great and will continue to voice my support for more - despite having to do all the "RMT legwork" in order to ensure everything is legitimate. I am more than happy to do so if P99 and it's players can raise fifteen thousand dollars in a single day! I'm still shocked at this number, and will continue to be shocked until it's bested at the next fundraiser for dying children/dogs/moms/impoverished millionaires/whatever the next charity is. Cant wait for next time!

My life here on p99 became considerably more tollerable once I read every post in RnF that wasn't directly positive, in a goofy sarcastic trolling voice in my head. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Derubael,

Regardless of the charities validity the buyer side of the transaction is still the same. They are paying money for virtual currency and/or items. Your focus is misplaced. The fact that the charity is real has nothing to do with the fact it's RMT. The only difference is where the money goes.
