If more than one were logged in at the same time, that could be why (if you didn't ask for an IP exemption).

Also, sometimes if you go linkdead, it will say your IP is banned when you try to log back in until your character clears the world.

For the record I haven't made 5 million pp. Yet =)

I have brokered just shy of 6 million now.

..... If you are concerned that someone is not able to play their class because they bought their character,....

if someone has those thousands of platinum do buy a char, then he will know the basics of every class and most likely wont suck playing the char he bought.

so, IF someone comes up as a lvl 50 and doesnt have a clue how he has to play the game, then i highly doubt that he had the "ingame" money to afford the char in the first place

now we can come up with the argument that a friend bought him the account with his platinum but .... yeah, whatever.....

They were not both logged in at the same time. Never have been either.

I don't know if I went LD. The game just went down suddenly and when I tried to log back in it said I was temporarily banned. Then I tried again in a few minutes and it let me in and let me play for a few minutes and then the game shut down again and when I tried to get back in it once again said I was temp banned.

Yeah, it says that but you aren't really banned. It just means you still have a character logged in (you go Linkdead when the game shuts down like that).

Hmm, ok, well I guess I'll try it again. It should have been long enough by now. Also, sorry for the minor hijack of this thread.

Ok, thanks Chanus. It seems to be working again so I can stop panicking now, heh.

I think it would be fair to force character names to be posted for any sales that happen on these forums.

That doesn't address the issue of people simply paying for a toon to be leveled 1-50. Unless that's a non-issue for most people, I really don't know.

I've said it several times...when Kunark comes out, mark my words - there will be a ten-fold increase in Rogues, Rangers, Warriors, Monks etc. all of whom will magically be level 50.

The problem isn't that the bought toon will be played by someone who doesn't know what they're doing.

The problem is if toon selling is the way things are, then people will only be farming plat or powerleveling toons to be sold. This results in greatly reduced opportunities for truly new players or players who are less concerned about being max-level to find other people to play with. It is a contributing factor to eliminating a viable less-than-max-level game.

IE level 20 paladins wielding soulfires - etc.

Have fun trying to get a Rogue epic come kunark, when everyone with a lvl 50 pays to have a Rogue PLed.
