Would customer support drop everything to help you out or would you be s.o.l. ?

I always drop transfer but thinking maybe I'm being too paranoid. I know standard advice is to choose a L60 with a big-name guild but still...

1. No, not at all. Your actions.

2. SOL

3. People have been ground transferring for 20 years.
It will get exciting when you switch characters and get disconnected, and have to restart the game..
oh yeah, remember that feeling? it's called being alive. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Here op, I did some lawyering and found you this:

“
11. You may not defraud other players.

Fraud is defined as falsely representing one's intentions to make a gain at another's expense. Examples of this activity include, but are not limited to, using deception to deprive another player of items, slandering another player or impersonating them with the intention of causing harm to that player's reputation, or falsely representing one's identity in order to gain access to another player's account or account information.

Fraud in all transactions between players may result in disciplinary action when confirmed by a P99CSR.

This is not permission to not watch out for yourself during interactions with players. Players may still scam or defraud you on Project 1999. It is your responsibility to protect yourself. The player who scammed you may be subject to disciplinary action, but there is no guarantee you will get your items or PP back. It is in your best interest to be wary of other players.

You are responsible for the people you let onto your account. Disciplinary action may be enacted upon your account even if you yourself were not responsible for any rule breaking. Do not share account info if you are not ready to deal with the consequences of someone else's actions.

Just keep an OBS buffer running and if you get defrauded, you have extra evidence.

Tunas right. I deserve it. I did a fair bit of trollin . Anyway. Wishing you all the best. I'll climb outa your arse now!

Op, don’t expect the gms to search the logs over a 2k sword or something. I’m sure if you’re respectful and it’s a 50k item they’ll atleast try to help you out. Again, remember the time and zone of the trade to make their job easier if they get around to you.

Tuna, trick is to not think about the sucks unless it’s out of respect for adversary, just focus on what you can do to make it better and do it- and get the reward trigger of accomplishment. It can be as easy as cleaning all the dish’s and saying “hell yeah, I did something and it’s better here”.

I have never had a problem passing items and pp. Arleigh I use the most but if he isn’t on I use any 60 or high level in a major guild. Never once had a problem.

I don’t think item transfers with other players is dangerous on p99 and I have confidence when I say this. It’s one of the aspects of classic that I’m stoked is non existent. Idk if it’s because the classic player base has matured in 30 years(thank god) or that it’s policy enforced.

The real question is, how did you acquire a 50k item yet have no friends you can trust to transfer stuff for you?

[UrkTheSlayer]

I’m not trying to accuse you of RMT, but ultimately I’m kinda hinting at the possibility.

Normally by the time you can acquire a 50k item a handful of people have your login info... just saying. Sharing accounts is not against policy, but RMT is- aside from being heavily frowned upon by the community.

I’m going to ask you straight up, did you eBay a fungi and now that your lvl 25 ranger has almost outgrown it do you want to make an sk?

[UrkTheSlayer]

If you’re respectful and gms search logs for your fungi that you actually RMT’d, expect a lot more extra help then I previously mentioned.

In fact, if any of my rmt accusations are true I’ve already dry snitched on you here on these forums- if your station account was registered to this this forum account and either has traded RMT’d items you can expect help from GM’s.

I think the only thing gms take more seriously then defrauding other players is players trying to make a dime off their hard work.
