When will something be done about intentional trains? - Page 8

Would you be willing to risk losing P99, for this?

If it is a borderline type solution, better to err on the side of caution IMO.

Of course they cannot charge for EQ - legally... that might just get Sony's attention in a bad way... but..
Forum accounts however are a different matter - legally at least.

Of course - even if one wasn't to 'charge' - you could do some kinda verification - of course, a lot of those are well.. fail.

I guess that might still get 'grey'.

That's an interesting thought. I wonder if eqemulator.org could legally charge for login server accounts, even if it were just a flat setup fee. My guess is it's still the same problem legally, otherwise they would've done it by now.

How did this turn into from people training in zones to pay for play?

We are not going to charge you to play here. It's not legal and it's not the point of the server.

Donations are welcomed, and that goes directly to your quality of play and longevity of hardware and connection. There's a donation button on the homepage.

As far as a solution to training, $ isn't the answer.

Yeah, that was a bad idea - just grasping at straws as to how to keep people from just creating as many accounts as they want, to do whatever they want.

Really - I can't think of any legit reason a person would need more than one account for P99. Even in the case of friends playing from the same IP - it *should* be - one person, one account.

My post so far is the most accurate, intelligent and easily implemented one.

yo kids would you stop coming with retarded ideas such as paying to validate accounts or whatever involving $ ?

the moment something like this happens, eq-emu (as a whole) would be no more.

Ban/delete anyone from IB/DA and 99% of the servers gimp/freaks/nerds/losers will be gone.

Win/win/win/win/win situation.

You could setup a 900 phone number. Folks can call you to talk about stuff and that charges their phone bill. and coincidentally they will have server access...
