SERIOUSLY HOW THE FUCK IS THIS LIKE CLASSIC? I was there. Classic memories discussed between me and my little brother for the last 15 years have always involved casinos. Don't make this a prison server man. It's all EQ has left. There's no where else for us hardcore players to go.

You think you're a hardcore player cause u wanna play ata casino?
Try pokerstars.net and /quit

The casino ban to me is more than just a ban.. it an infringement on basic rights that should be applied even if it's just a video game...

Another lulz

This:
The truth of P99 is this:
a small group of the player base ruins the endgame content for everyone else by hogging it for some reason or other (probably RMT since i haven't seen a wave of bannings like the one last spring since.... well last spring.)

Many of my friends have quit: because of this and because the general consensus is that the people running the show aren't doing their job (ethically), and clearly do not want help.

It seems that the server admins are most concerned with the issue with the "fungi roll" where Arrowed artificially LD'd after the 666.

One person fucking it up for everyone doesnt seem legit. Especially with overwhelming proof of the one person's fraudulent actions. You have enough information to remove the item from the offending player and even, i would say, award it to the player who it was promised to.

This all being said, i support the sanctioning of a guild for trading/gaming.

Even Derubael somewhat supported legal authorized casinos for a while but I guess decided to take the easiest route possible to deal with non-existent problem.

"It's more like operating a liquor store. Or... a casino. In Vegas they are all strictly regulated and overseen by the NGC. If I wanted to set up a license system where no one could have a license (effectively banning casinos) I'd just ban the casinos - it really doesn't effect me, and banning them altogether is less work. This was just an alternative solution in case my peers have reservations about a full on ban when we hold our meeting." - Derubael

Not sure I understand this part, but we offer even better CSR support than they did on live. We will do many things the CSR staff on live simply wouldn't do, with a smaller staff, and similar population.

Just my opinion but you guys seem a lot more authoritative and ambitious about singlehandly shaping the server than the classic CSR.

edit: and for the last time, casino's werent removed because that one guy got scammed. The timing was just coincidentally in-line with our GM meeting.

What a weird coincidence that casinos are completely fine + classic for years then 2 weeks after Arrowed's "scam" all legit gambling and reputable casinos are put under prohibition with no explanation and no longer "in line with policies set during classic"! WOW! EXTREMELY COINCIDENTAL!

It's their server. They can do whatever the hell they want. If you don't like it no one stopping you from leaving.

You're not going to make them reverse their decision. Posts like yours would only make me more resolute in my stance if I were a member of the staff. Casino's are banned. Its a done deal. Find a way to move on.

Have the GM's come down on player run Whore Houses? Can we get a ruling on this?

[Nineran]

Thank you, so much GMs. Great decision.

cool, so you guys had a gm meeting. where was the discussion about the player-run monopolies on raid mobs

Edit: another reason i quit was the latest GM event--
here is the gist of it, in case you missed it...
the top raid guilds got extra targets this week. Its almost too much storyline to bear
