Durison, known RMT'd character, back in TMO

The big deal stems from two things, imo.

1. The staff doesn't allow it. If they don't allow it, it doesn't happen. Period. I know it's kinda dictatorish but you're on a free server, you're going to have to expect that.

2. Sony didn't, and still doesn't, allow RMT on Live either. So it's Live-like. Besides, EQEmu barely skates by as "legal" through the Creative Commons License as it is. Real world currency exchange, or anything else that could be seen as 'immoral' (pirating clients from hidden bays) could result in the project being a target for Sony. Something that, atm, it is not.

And last but not least, 3. Most people work hard for their shit. Allowing RMT means anyone with a little extra cash to throw around IRL has an advantage over the actual players.
