Time to End Account Buying/Selling?

[Nihilist_santa]

Barkingturtle, this has nothing to do with jealousy. You want to side track the issue and make it about that. This has to do with the game. You know outside of EC tunnel where people kill things and advance their character. How do up and coming toons get a chance at content when the guilds can jut buy the accounts they need and can exclude others from content? Who do they group with? What about the players who come here and leave due to the COMPLETLY non classic EC tunnel account trades. Someone sees this and they immediately think pay to win which has ruined plenty of other games.

Again, you're defining the "game" for everyone else. As I said, the tunnel is the single feature that makes classic EQ unique. Go play another game if your primary focus isn't the tunnel.

I'm not gonna kid you--I've been here since day one and I do not care about new people as much as I value the established folks who have been here for years and have proved they will be in the future. If a newb is so easily dissuaded from playing they should probably be playing a different game, anyway. One without a tunnel.

Accounts were never allowed to be sold in EC tunnel. You are doing it wrong.

Not only did I screencap an account sale, but the seller was advertising it promoting the "IP exemption" it had...account sales go on all the time in EC chat :/

Well I was referring to his comment about it being the only unique thing about classic EQ. If you want a classic tunnel experience you can't be selling accounts, it didn't happen.

Yeah there you go, someone says something you don't like have them banned. You must have some strong points to support your side.

Also, Swish confirmed insanely immersed in ForumQuesting.

Kid has quotes, .gifs, characters, links, and all kinds of shit in that sig. Changes his avatar/sig three times a week and makes like 40 posts a day, most of which are threatening to report people. Might be time to take a step back from the forum and get a day job, dogg.

Oh fair point. I think people are pinning hopes on a timeline server being released after Velious, maybe a "v2.0 server" would right all the wrongs... although different people want different things :/
