LOL? We just started and haven't had any customers yet. You should get your head examined "pal".

Thanks for the free bump though!

tradeing accounts/characters is the cancer that is killing P99. it devalues plat IMO(no1 traded accounts/chars for pp on live) and it encourges dual boxing(hows your wife, brother, hamster doing)

just a trends forecast and a free bump.

Daltheb offers pretty good rates, and actually having been in a zone with him as he levels a client, I can say he follows the rules. Nobody is going to like it if the FFA mobs they like to claim as a camp are taken but that's no reason to stink up the forums. He's also not really very rude at all. Seriously, when you initiate a conversation by insulting somebody's guild after they take a mob you haven't even actively killed in at least the last 20 minutes and have no right to, what do you expect from him?

You get a lot more than what you should expect, at least.

For me, this just seems like a good deal. I can't PL myself, don't really feel like paying a ton of PP per hour to be PL'd, and I need a higher lvl char for my friend who quit in the 30 range (Sold his old toon recently for plat to buy a new one since he doesn't want me to PL him either)

People traded accounts for platinum in classic, too. I remember my guildmates doing it. They couldn't advertise for RMT in game, so they'd trade for plat and sell the plat on ebay (harder to track)

"no1" means "no1". "sum1" did it. You're incorrect.

You're being pretty naive to think nobody traded accounts/chars for pp on live. Going back as far as classic I know of several people on the server I played that traded their accounts for gear or platinum, of course some people sold for $$ as well however swapping for other accounts or platinum/gear wasn't all that uncommon.

It may not have been as publicly advertised as it is here, but it went on frequently.

I played EQ day one, back in 1999, and none, I mean NONE were sold for plat back in 1999...they were all listed on ebay...accounts were selling for up to $4,000 cash back then (a single level 50 planar geared wizard from FoH on Veeshan got over 4k cash for his toon)...i personally sold an account that had a 50 shaman and 45 warrior on it for $1,700....

I think selling accounts for plat should not be allowed as it was never done during classic live

Note: this was before sony/verant banned the selling of accounts/items on ebay

It was done in classic. Granted of course some FoH geared toon was going to be sold on ebay for several thousands. Im well aware of what the market was for real cash back then for characters. However keep in mind not everyone was geared through the teeth, or hell not everyone was even max level. Those people found ways to get rid of their goods still.

Like I said its extremely naive to believe it didn't happen in classic. However I will say that I don't agree that it should be a publicly advertised practice as it does have a large effect on the economy. I think a part of the reason it wasn't as huge of a deal back in the day was because it was more of a behind the scenes kind of thing, wasn't public knowledge to your average gaming joe.

However it's not my place to put a ruling one way or another on the server. Just calling it how I see it.

On a side note, it seems a bit hypocritical of people to be slamming this thread/OP, and completely ignoring/allowing bobs toon sales. It is what it is, but why get on one person's case over what is indirectly the same thing in accepting plat or in game goods for a character? Sure its not exactly the same, but when push comes to shove its a similar concept.

On a side note, we are here on this server because we played EQ back in the day. Some of enjoyed being lost in Gfay for hours...some of us loved running around Guk lvling up in our mid lvls, and some of enjoyed the end game of camping/raiding.
I don't know about you folks but personally I have a lot less time now to play than I did back when I was younger playing EQ. While that may sound ironic coming from Bob I am AFK most the time my toon is logged in or at least semi afk working on other things at another computer. So if someone wants to skip some of the dirty work of grinding through the lower lvls or any lvls and purchase a toon with in game currency why does it really matter to anyone?

The only person this might somehow effect is a person who groups with the buyer before he figures out what he is doing with the class if its new to him.

This is not the end of the world, you are still safe in your little classic bubble cause they were plenty of retards back then too who didn't know their class!

Obviously I am semi biased on this topic as I make decent scratch helping people sell their accounts but really it comes down to its their time/money and what they do with it really doesn't hinder your gaming experience.

Dalthleb is an idiot, how anyone can think this is good for the game is beyond me.

Did he ever say anything about it being "good for the game?"

He KNOWS it's not good for the game. It is, however, good for personal gain and that's why he's doing it.

Have fun when playing on p99 when common drops from Lguk are selling for 10k due to massive amounts of inflation.

LOL. What a surprise that Bob, the server's #1 toon seller, is here to back you up.
