Who else doesn't care if some people buy early access into Velious?

[Solb]

The seriousness in which some people discuss this topic blows me away. You'd think we were discussing some sort of large scale, political change of real world events! Instead we are talking about access to an expansion of a game, one week earlier than others who CHOOSE to not gain early access via paying a fee!

We all are entitled to an opinion. My opinion is that some of you, especially those of you raging out over this precedent should go outside, take a walk for about 2-3 months, and when you are thinking clearly again, only then, log in and start playing eq1 p1999. It's not that serious bros. It's not.

lol @ not gaining early entry to Velious being a "choice."

Alright Solb, I've chosen to take the 7 day early access. Would you like my paypal info so you can send me that $500?

Some players having access to the legends server where they had access ahead of time to content because they paid extra each month isn't the same as certain players on ONE server gaining early access to content ahead of other players on that same server. If it was early beta access, that would be a different story.

Except you seem to be forgetting the common practice of players to join the Legends server, get geared up raiding in the span of a couple weeks or a month, and then come back to their original server totally pimped out. It happened quite a lot. It's exactly the same thing. It's classic.

YOUR view of integrity. again you seem to focus on what YOU think integrity of this server is. ME / YOU / rest of us does not matter in this point. If the admin choose to continue making it so you can get perks for donating that is THEIR CHOICE. your choice along with the rest of use can decide if we want to play in the environment. Guess what 6months down the line most of use will still be here.

If you choose to support the game or not its not is your choice. I long way of thinking i have said it before you don't like what the owners of this box have done then put your money where mouth and move on. Continuing to complain about it here in the 5 to 10 threads about this subject is not going to change it.

Im out continue to chew this dead subject if you so wish I am done on it.

You may be out but you still need to be set straight. You must be some liberal artist college student who believes in moral relativism. If a large group of people believes something is morally acceptable that does not automatically make it morally acceptable because, what if for example, that large group of people believed in eating live babies? Clearly that would not be morally acceptable.

Why did I bring up such an off the wall thing? Well the same general line of thought applies in this case. You seem to be arguing that the admins can do whatever they want and it will be in line with the integrity of the server. I am not arguing that they cannot do whatever they want, but I am arguing that certain choices they make could and will ruin this server's integrity.

GMs allowing people to spend real money to get in game perks has never been acceptable and does not get to be acceptable in this case either. Everquest has been and should continue to be an escape from real life, where your character gets better based on the time and effort you put into it. Such an idea is circumvented when you can just spend your real life cash.

For fucks sake, I have 19,000 in my damn checking account right now, I could buy the 7 day early access thing and not even notice the money was gone. But I am not enough of an idiot to do that, first of all, and second I still argue that this plan is bad for the server based on the above.

TL;DR: the only thing stupider than 'competing' via tracking is 'competing' via donation size.
