WRONG. Innoruuk had gambling/casinos and I have evidence. No evidence for any server ever banning gambling. Prohibition indeed made server less classic. http://innoruukserver.yuku.com/reply...d#.U_eceWM-eRM Guardya Wahta Posts: 1575 Mar 17 04 1:51 PM Ally Poster Re: Worst player award Tubaked Good effort and good form, from being accused of stealing to general suckiness you still only end up with 5 votes.

(Of course, I don't even think it was ever popular in the EC tunnel either.) It's definitely not an everyday occurance, if even a weekly event. Anyone who spams the zone in shout gets /petitioned if I'm the least bit grumpy. You can spam the /auc channel all you want, I don't give a rat's hiney.

We have a person in the guild who runs one, he make more money running the casino than from playing. Unfortuneately thats the big draw, and some people will try for a jackpot nomatter the odds.

They didn't exist back in the north freeport days, except for the ultra-rare "lottery" where one person would collect bets from everyone and assign a number, then random the whole pile off to one lucky guy. Seems everyone uses 1-3000 as the numbers, with doubles at 1700 or higher, triples at 1995 or higher, and quadruples at 1 or 3000. I had a great time playing at them too (even made a bit of a profit) until I played a casino that q'd out after I won The invention of casinos has made the back of the bazaar a very very popular place now. I used to be the only one back there, now I share my area with a decent sized crowd of people (casinos on Drinal are almost always run from the stables area).

I'd be interested to know if you found any evidence of them actually being allowed, or if the one line about Tubaked is the only reference to casinos on the entire forums. I am sure any other players from Innoruuk will be happy to back up my claim that player run casinos were not permitted on our server.
EDIT: Leaving my original comment but upon further research there are at least a couple references to player run casinos on Inny, maybe they were just so hated they died out relatively quickly. I'll go ahead and admit that you are right on this and I was mistaken. | ||

Yeah took a super long time to google player run casino innoruuk and scan all the way to page two of results to find people listing over half the classic servers having player-run casinos. Thanks for your awesome contribution to the thread Argh of A-Team.

Player run casinos might be classic, but so was paying $14.99 a month. I am very much not for Classic zealotry when it comes to certain things. I'm not sure that Classic devs would have allowed Casinos if they had realized their ties to RMTs at the time.
If the demand is there for gambling (I'm not sure that it is) then I'd support an NPC gambler. | ||
