Server's economy is so far out of whack it's retarded and NEEDS to be addressed...for starters, it's a shame that the devs stopped allowing account sells/trades to go on, this was a nice plat sink.

This is probably the stupidest thing I've read all year. Thanks for that.

1. No.
2. You don't understand the concept of a money sink in a MMO. It is meant to take currency out of the hands of players and into the void that is NPC Merchants. Not to simply exchange between player 1 and 2.
3. The number of accounts sold that have IP exemptions built in was absolutely retarded.
4. No.

I think differently than most people. It's why I have more plat/items/accounts here than 95% of the population and I rarely play! I know my shit (sorry if i come off as bragging trying to make a point).

Item account trades/sells were a nice way for people who had plat to spend their money. Sure the plat didn't leave the server, so maybe I used the wrong word when I said "plat sink."

Now, what do they do? They buy Torpor for 100k and sell it for 105k. Then that 105k torpor gets bought and sold for 110k...you get the picture? I'm sure it's not hard to grasp.

I bought/sold/traded multiple accounts, how about you? It was a win/win for the buyer and seller. I never had any of the accounts I worked go sour. In fact I still own some of the accounts I purchased way back then.

win/win for the buyer and seller. lose/lose for any guild wishing to compete for mobs that can't camp out 1 toon at each raid mob. Which is the vast majority of the server.

I don't question your market prowess. Nor do I really care to be honest. If flipping shit in EC is what gets you off, keep peddling pixels.

Selling characters for platinum was the worst thing to happen to this server and was allowed to continue for far too long.


PS - Reputation is a huge part of what mattered in original EQ. Being able to sell your account and wipe it clean, so long as you aren't retarded enough to give yourself away on your reroll, was stupid.

It's difficult, but not impossible; think of it as the true Shaman epic. If you don't get it right away, your class isn't broken--you lived without it for 60 levels after all.

I had to quote you and get you on page 2 because this is a great outlook on Torpor. I also removed you signing your name at the end because that's just creepy.

Then why should most people care about what you think?

That is a bit much. I know when people were selling it with confidence, for 50-70k and was only mid of last year.

If Torpor and other shaman spells were cheap you would see 2 million shaman on the server as opposed to just 1 million.

Guys people are selling Ferrari's for too much money. I have decided to stop playing life because of this.

lol, life and video games are 2 different things but looking at your post count it looks like you decided to stop playing life not me, I give up on a video game because life is more important. I rather hang with friends, ride motorcycle, fishing and working out then farming seafuries 40+ hours a week. Its funny all the guys with 3000+ posts are saying shit like this, my play time is an hour tops 2-3 times a week I dont have time to raid or set up groups to farm for torpor.
