I don't see all the rage about RMT, if people want to make cash off playing a game seriously go ahead - I heard diablo 3 will have an in-game feature to sell your shit for RL cash. I also remember tons of people doing it on live back in the day with accounts/items. Hell I even sold my rogue back in the day on live.

RMT is not only against the rules of the server but it is against the law and can SHUT THE SERVERS DOWN. SERIOUSLY. Red99 would be gone and there would be no more classic EQ PVP. because NO ONE can profit off of this.

So that is the big deal.

I've caught people in at least 3 guilds RMTing on red. all are banned.

Here is the deal:

If you know ANYTHING about RMT and do not turn it in - you are just as guilty as the person RMTing. If I find you are withholding RMT info then you will suffer the same fate as Lethdar (per Nilbog's comment in another thread)

RMTers can go to hell, its bad enough that they infest live games and fuck up economies on a consistent basis, but to have them here in a emulator run by volunteers is beyond wrong. I used to be in the pro RMT camp, a very long time ago, but once you have played a few games completely ruined by bots and rmt you will see why its bad.

Also Amelinda is correct, no one can profit off of a EQ emulator, its risky enough just operating one. Adding further risk by RMTing just adds to the potential for a SOE cease and desist and then bye bye server and bye bye items you spent RL money on. Doh
