Chardok

If you have ever seen how Chardok aoe operates you already know it's a big RMT scheme.

I'd put 5$ on that.

One time Briscoe called 'ready' while doing Royals. They wiped, and the rage that ensued could only be caused by someone missing their next RMT payment.

PBAOE spells that hit over 40 mobs should have a small chance to disconnect the user, to properly simulate a dialup connection.

I find it kind of funny that Daldaen, the ultimate classhole who wants DoT damage messages nerfed and thinks people should be forced to take bags out of the bank before opening them, is defending such an obviously non-classic mechanic.

Going to keep comments about this to myself. But great post.

Which part of it is unclassic? A real life friend of mine used to do a semi-regular AoE group in Sebilis before Velious came out. To be fair, he played at a gaming center with a super fast (for the time) internet connection: I think they had a T1 back when most people used dial-up. And I don't know if he ever did Chardok, but still the point is he did an AoE group in the classic era, so the mechanics seem pretty classic to me.

You don't have to travel far on the internet to see people selling it for cash per pull.

post in the petition forum, the staff seems to take RMT very seriously and should be able to help shut it down or at least lessen the impact.

This isn't really news. The staff knows what boards they advertise this stuff on, I just didn't want to put it here for obvious reasons. I was just pointing out that it's pretty well known that Chardok AE is a RMT machine for some people here and it will stay that way as long as it's allowed.

Clarify: as long as AE Chardok is allowed, obviously RMT is not.

AOE groups (and AOE kiting) are classic. But they would do 30-40 mobs, not 130-140.

Here is a scary thought: what percentage of 50+ XP do you think Chardok puts out? I'd guess about half. Imagine how much better the raid scene would be with half as many toons to camp out everywhere, and every Class C player didn't have 12 alts to epic? I think its almost impossible to overstate the pernicious effect Chardok AE (and its associated RMT) have had on this server. Probably even worse than invis pulling.
