I have a couple questions regarding this new rule.

Is all gambling illegal?

If myself and a friend want to roll EQ craps for plat, are we allowed to?

What if we want to roll dice while wagering items (my manastone vs his CoF or something like that)?

What if we have an item drop and rather than sell and split the cash like we would normally do, we want to gamble against each other to see who gets it?

Will this rule lead to crypt groups being banned for gambling over that hiero drop?

Use your best judgement. This is mostly aimed at Casinos, though any form of gambling does fall under it's domain.

Obviously rolling for an item that dropped isn't gambling.

Great idea in principle. But very limitted ppl currently could get.

Dalaya had similar idea for charms. And it led to a new group of farmers, farming for charms. It really didnt help take plat out of economy quite like they planned.

Any good reward is going to increase # ppl farming. And increase items and plat in economy overall.

Thanks Derubael and the rest of the crew. Less time chasing up the scammers (who ruined this for everyone) and more time focusing your efforts on other things [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Add another restriction to the by now gigantic list of rules on P99. Not classic and not fun. I've never been scammed at a player-run "casino" in years and I've played a ton.

I am for the idea of an NPC run casino though...

Omg just had a thought...make it in that Highkeep gambling area !! [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

They would love to roll out new content. However, they have to waste their time over petitions created by people who advertise that if you roll a dice and get 666, you win big! and then /q when they actually roll it. Banning player-run casinos makes for less bullshit for Deru, Sirken and other guides to have to sort thru, therefore allowing for other things. Also, new content is brought to you primarily by the developers (Alunova, Aeolwind, etc) which means that the good things that the GM/Guides are doing in no way affects the speed by which you gain new pixels.
