As for 'the legal implications' everyone wants to quote. Is there a documented case in the world where legal action has been taken against a TOS/EULA/Copyright breaking emulator server, where said operator was successfully sued for the actions of their clients in regards to RMT? I cannot find anything...

Also, who cares if someone buys or sells stuff? You work, you watch the kid, you mow the lawn, you are busy 80-100 hours a week doing other stuff. If one decided to spend $100 on 50K or whatever, isn't that really their choice? Sure, it may be especially bannable on p99 since the devs really don't have anything better to do than worry about TMO and TR fighting over a dervish spawn...but on WoW or EQ2 or RIFT? The buyer never gets noticed. Buying is ignored, it is the selling that tends to be bannable...

Anyway, all those gold sellers on all those sites are the same people you see listing items on the ECT Threads. If you don't think all those uber guilds farming CoF or FT's aren't selling those in ECTunnel to maintain their RL lifestyles, you are mistaken. I know of two Live guilds where the bankers sold millions weekly, when 1 million went for $1000 on live...serious cash flow. Or people here using your 60 Druid to 'PL' a 'Friend' up to 50+ and selling for 60K in a thread? What you gonna do with that money with no account? Oh, you have two IP's! Three IP's? (It's only $20 a month for 5 IP's from Comcast) Ya, that's not a gold seller...or against the rules...oh, it is.

So, it's the same here, and denying that reality just makes you all look silly.

lol tard yes emulator servers have been shutdown thru legal action. haha wtf is this wall of crap and misinformation

not sure but I think Winter's Roar got shutdown cuz sony was sketched out by "donations"

also if RMT were openly allowed Sony would probably have even more reason to shut down emulator servers, why give them more ammo?

He called me tard, trolling for a response, and you tell me to settle down? I don't get it...but anyway

As for the ammunition...well, everyone here acts like RMT leads to emulators being shut down. It's the donations that get them shut down. It's the copyright violations often found on the websites. It's not letting players have freedom to do as they wish, it's all about the bens the operator is getting.

Didn't Winter's Roar have a system where you could "donate" for some power ups or donator items or some shit?

that sounds like RMT to me

I think you are confusing donations with perks. If you 'donate' for in-game items, titles, or services that is as good as 'purchasing' them. If you donate to receive nothing in return, that's a donation.

I think buying pixels is silly. Buying emulated pixels is just sad.

folks make sure to bump back to the 2nd page for some epic server chat log stories..

This necro really shouldn't go to waste.

By donations, I mean donations to keep the server running. If WR actually had microtransactions, then really that is one kind of RMT, more like the Farmville style than player to player RMT...I'd say it amounts to about the same thing as donating to keep the server running, but still a potential profit to the server operator.

Sony and most gaming companies really don't care what players do on emulated servers, it's when an emulator starts taking in money they get the lawyers out of the cage. They see the missed profits, even if it's only a dollar a month, and expect their cut...and since it is their intellectual property, they quickly want the whole pie.
