Yeah, it doesn't even have to be the most expensive restaurant either: ever heard of credit card roulette?

Basically you and a bunch of friends all go out to eat and drink, and at the end of the night everyone puts their credit card into a pile, and one card is pulled randomly: that poor soul has to foot the bill for the entire evening. With a decent crowd and plenty of drinks, that total can easily exceed $700, even at a relatively cheap place.

I'm not stupid enough to play such a game myself, but some people are [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Too true unfortunately. Dinner for two at a nice restaurant can run $300 easy at least. Get more expensive on the wine or add another body or two and you're looking at $700 without trying very hard.

I only wish we could do the same to the people that I catch selling goods on Project 1999. It is truly mind blowing that some people would pay $700+ for a single item. If you are going to purchase something for money, remember that I will catch you eventually and you will only regret it down the line. People purchasing stuff in early December only to level, get to 50 and their account gets banned. Don't sell, don't buy, don't RMT. Simple.
I never got caught

Damn and I left because I got sick of dealing with showEQ players arguing with me and my 13 farmed glowing black stones camp.

So sad I missed this fun. Sorry building my own sandbox now.

I played a lot of Diablo 3 when it first came out. I was watching people buy items for 200-800$ left and right. So clearly tons and tons of doing it. Btw Galach TY for catching and hitting them with ban stick.

I heard its only a 7 day suspension sad only 7 days. I am curious how its not a perma ban just like being caught doing duel boxing. It seems to fall in same category to me.

RMT seller = perma ban all accounts

RMT buyer = perma ban

Boxing on green = perma ban


Don't break the rules.
