What do you think is going to happen when Velious comes out and TMO has a geared 60 on every single faction?

If you're being serious, then u dum. If you're not serious, then 8/10.

Account trading really ruins a lot of the "specialness" of EQ for me. The integrity of this project is tarnished by it.

In classic EQ, character reputation meant something. You knew who you were dealing with, and generally what sort of person they were. It's the community aspect of the game that really suffers with account sales and rampant PLs. I hope to be known in game as "Faerie," as opposed to "a druid."

You guys are terrible at arguing. Omfg.


Dude, if you want to have a good rep, then do things that give you a good rep + don't sell your account. You can do both of those things without imposing rules on the entire server when apparently 50% of the server don't like those rules. Wtf?

You're not listening to anything said, and instead just repeat yourself. I wouldn't even call this an argument.

Regardless, Nilbog has come out and said that account sales will become against the rules at some point in the future. I'm happily awaiting that day [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I said that you, specifically, were terrible at arguing because your argument didn't even support the conclusion. Your conclusion is that account transfers should be illegal, but your argument in favor of that was "I want people to know me as a person and not as a random druid" even though you can do that regardless of whether account sales are legal!

You missed my point entirely.

I think you should calm down.

How would this in any way be enforced it will just go underground and still happen. Good idea.

That's exactly what will happen... but with all due respect, so what?

I'd imagine that they're not going to talk about their plans to enforce this, much like their process for hunting down plat sellers and buyers that went so well recently.

I mean there were reasons this wasn't allowed on live. Not to mention there's the issue of people selling their accounts for plat then RMTing it, people getting caught cheating and selling the flagged accounts, etc.
