staff run RMT

[katrik]

You know you got some real shitheads here when people pitching a fit over a charity. Open your heart pals.

Sums it up nicely. I feel like you must have been banned for RMT to be getting this worked up over a positive use of the server like this. I am sorry that you don't agree with it but it's not your box and you don't make the rules. We all sat down and agreed we wanted this to go through as long as we could make sure it was legitimate on all sides, and thats exactly what we did.

That should really be sufficient. Clearly the RMT rules are there for specific reasons - blocking fundraisers for children's cancer foundations is not one of them

thx p99 for saving dying children <3

nope never rmt'ed, don't even care about rmt.
The raid rules are what PISS me off. I don't even think we should have a forum for displaying or arguing about rules. When I played EQ years ago I NEVER EVER EVER had to visit a stinking forum to figure out what I can and can't do. Me and my guild did what ever we wanted to in game.(No cheating of course)
But here you have to read the forum rules and honestly it is the worst aspect of this server. So when staff breaks one of the rules, Yea Imma call it out.

I agree. I don't like inconsistent decision making. Terms should be stipulated before hand if there are rules, then they shouldn't be changed without an announcement and an allowed time period for people to adjust when necessary.

I grasp your viewpoint with those statements, but it seems irrelevant to this thread.

Yes, but why does it have to be charity? Is that because of the "no profit" rule that is sometimes enforced on emulated servers?

[Orruar]

The charity isn't the only one to benefit here. The person streaming this on twitch picked up new subscribers, gaining them more advertising money. The P99 server got more attention, gaining it users and thus donations. It's looking like the recent RMT + casino crackdown was just a way to suppress supply, so as to spike demand just in time for a "legitimate" RMT + casino system.

Hats off to those that had the political acumen to pull this off. The kids win, those running the server win, the one streaming the event wins, the lucky casino winners win, and all we had to do was forego any pretense of consistent server rules.

I'm a little glad, but also sad, that the server I once thought was rad, had instead tried to pad its coffers using this fad, while also helping add to the life of a little lad, whose dad had the work ethic of an unemployed post-grad wearing plaid. -Vlad

Really though, the intentions of helping children are completely pure and intentions are the only thing that matter, right? If other people make a little extra on the side, the children benefit and that's what's important.

The road to hell was paved with good intentions.
