Daliant admits to RMT, will GMs even ban someone who openly admits it?

[Diggles]

When I was playing on it, I joined alliance chat on an anonymous toon and admitted to being a PC player.

The rage that followed was immense. And then some random person logged in and said something about being 14 years old.

Does anyone know if EQ logs chat by default? i could probably dig up the logs for it when I get home

Personally, I'd probably start a character and never join a guild nor ever identify that the person behind the character is me. I just love EverQuest, and again my juxtaposition on this idea of a wipe stems from wanting to see P99 continue to succeed.

Clearly I'm a PC player, but after dealing with BF3 players I can definitely see why EQMac folks might feel like this.

Last night actually I dropped someone with the scoped .44 and was called a "f**got N*gger american"

I've already countered this...


Until you can determine a surefire way to determine players have swapped characters, you cannot prove this. Viewing IPs doesn't do this, because even most home routers and also ISPs change IPs occasionally. So the person could be playing the same account from the same house as was done yesterday, but if the user's router or the ISP changed the external IP address, the user would still flag as playing from a different IP. Also, some people EQ in multiple locations, like those who are able to answer batphones while at work. In those instances, the user most likely has multiple IP addresses that the user legitimately plays EQ from. All the above are legitimate cases of playing from multiple IP addresses which make account transfer hard to distinguish.

Since the root of the problem cannot be solved, it is better to legalize a method for obtaining toons than outright banning their official transfer because then unofficial (read RMT) transfer will proliferate more. Examples: Prohibition, marijuana, cocaine.

IP may change but you'd still fall under the same ISP and/or general geolocation. This could work but would cause problems for people who travel a lot or simply go somewhere for the weekend. What if somebody legitimately moves?

$150 for a shield of the rainbow hues is pretty expensive imo...

yeah, idk, eve is one server globally so you dont really see any hate between operating systems or nationalities or any of that. My BF3 experiences are normally calm too, I kind of assume all the hatespeech sticks to xbox.
