Who remembers selling characters for plat? - Page 5

Don’t remember people selling chars too often. More like one friend would stop playing and another friend would start paying and playing a second account. The big seller in EQ live was Plat purchases with real money. Some guy would have crap gear then the next day he would be decked out in the best gear money could buy.
Now you want to talk about a game that sold chars, Star Wars Galaxies has that problem bad. Some of the folks that got Jedi early on made some good money selling them.

I bought a 60 enchanter for plat way back when. I think I paid 80k. I didn't know the race or name before handing over the plat.

Turned out it was a high elf (which is imo the ugliest race in the game) and his name was Aquafresh. I hated the name so much I filed a stupid petition (sorry GMs) trying to get it changed. They rejected me and I immediately resold it at a loss. I don't think I've ever seen that character online since I sold it.

selling toons for plat was fun for people like me that enjoy leveling and travelling more than raiding because i could endlessly reroll

bad for server health I would assume though

You only lose when you sell.

I don't know if it was bad for the server health as much as they provided a more undetectable avenue for rmt

I sold my original account back on sony's servers. I got about 2 grand. Needed the cash for college. Certainly makes it easier to step away from the evercrack pipe.
