What the heck are you talking about? Are you aware of how fast people plvl?

Let me put this into context for you. Here are some pl success stories.








Given we skipped level 19-21 and 27-30 in this but there is basically level 1-49 with a total reported time of about 12 hours.

yeah so thats about 12 hours there just to get to 49. say another 48 hours or so to get to 60(maybe and probably more). Thats a shitton of cash they are spending on the PL plus they actually have to sit there at the PC for 3 days of their lives. Its still a better punishment the handing over 200k that who knows where it came from.

Can we stop with the whole "its not classic" arguement? Hate to burst your bubble, but this server is not classic. Its the best "classic" EMU server we have, but its not classic.

So the server should just stop becoming more and more classic, and just become custom.

Should have done this from the start!!

I'm against account selling, if only because it's annoying to come back from a 3 month break and have half the "Welcome back!" conversations start with "Is this the real Muteki?" I mean it's gotten to the point where you can't associate a characters name to the person behind the monitor. And that kills the "classic" feel for me atleast.

I don't really care about the PL'ing nonsense. You wouldn't see that much more powerleveling honestly. Right now you can buy a level 50+ for 60k+ and "have it ready to go, just need gear". If it weren't possible to buy the toons, they'd just buy the gear and level him twink style either soloing or grouping. With some PL'ing thrown in for good measure I'm sure.

But it's not like every zone all of a sudden has 20 twinks with a Druid on a Leash.

account selling results in people no longer making toons and thus no longer playing low or mid level zones.
I like a server where crushbone, splitpaw, upper guk, CoM, blackburrow, or the karanas are still populated...Not a server where 80% of the crowd thrives in KC / seb / SolB or lguk...

I agree but banning account sales isnt going to help that, the people that buy accounts have done their leveling multiple times, its not like if they cant buy an account theyre going to make a lvl 1 and level it.

banning sales will only increase powerleveling HURTING those lower level zones and new players. account sale ban will have detrimental affects, and i honestly dont see any plus at this point.

Don't agree. Some will indeed do like you said and will resort to powerleveling.
But only the dire hard nerds.
Banning account sales is like banning guns. Countries where guns are banned still have people getting shot, but sure don't have as much as 1 ppl shot every minute like in the US.
Don't know if my point makes any sense...
