- Has IGE taken overeverything?
Has IGE taken overeverything?Follow
Logged onto EQTools to look at maps, and what do I get? - An IGE pop-up ad across the top. Grrrrrrr.
Wait till you get their first message over main chat:
"You seem to be the impatient type that's why I wanted to contact you discreetly. Talk to Buymuyplat inside the Felwhite Keeper for further instructions...."
relax - just kidding!

My post dissappeared. I'll do it again.
What you say may be "just kidding" but I dont think it's too far-fetched. I saw an OOC in the bazaar that went something like this: Do you need an item that you cant find anywhere? Send me a tell and I can get it for you in 24 hours. It doesn't ateer waht it is.
Now that does sound an awful like like IGE is starting to operarate openly in the game. This was on The Rathe about 10:30 CST.

"send me a tell what ya want I'll do my best to get it for ya"
I didn't think anything of it at the time. now I wonder

I saw the same EXACT message in the bazaar on Stromm, I also took it for nothing until just now!
I just can't imagine that there is some large scale business behind that for 3 reasons:
1.) NO player is so stupid to pay in advance.
So 2.) getting the desired piece for someone after an agreed price puts the seller on the risk that the buyer is logged out changed his mind or whatever - so he's sitting on this piece now.
and 3.)NO large scale business takes the risky side! ;-)
If there's a scam behind its probably some kind of "market research" because geting 100 tells a day on each server makes quite a reliable popularity list so IGE&Co know better what to farm :))

Perhaps IGE is simply coming out of the closet, so to speak. Why shouldn't they? SOE has proven to us their unwillingness to take significant action against IGE. Banning a few hundred accounts was more a PR stunt than anything else.
Thanks for the heads-up. I'm going to keep my peepers out for this /ooc when in the bazaar. Not that I think anything will come of it.
Perhaps SOE or Sony should just get it over with and sell EQ to IGE. To date they seem pretty content to operate in a symbiotic relationship.
It's all a bit disgustipating.

What we really need is a benevolent yet slightly eccentric billionare willing to fund sting operations against IGE. The pirates all but dissappear when the q-ships come out to play. It would work, it has worked in the past, there's just no one with the means to do it.
I don't know bout that "no player is stupid enough to pay before getting thier stuff" bit. Maybe on your server. On The Rathe, Ihave seen numerous times, over the 3 years that I've played this game, numerous OOC's about some one took my money and didn't give me my stuff. Not too much of that since the bazaar opened - but a bunch when all auctions were in the EC tunnel.
Also IGE also sells high level gear for RL money on thier site - so why not recoup thier plat that they sold by selling gear in-game for plat. Makes sense to me.

The reason I am linking this here is I want to show proof that Sony does not care, because THEY ARE IN ON IT. This link is to an article that EQLive put out back last June, about EQ Platinum. They said it was a database of 10,000 articles to help out the EQ community. Sounds nice, huh? Problem, is that Yavis and SuperSales OWNS IT, has links back to their BUY PLATINUM RIGHT THERE. EQ is supporting these guys, and wouldn't it be a trip if they were the ones doing the price fixing in hopes to settle the market. Also, FYI, it is against the law for two opponents to use price fixing for a certain item. This is a FEDERAL OFFENSE, Punishable under the Anti-Trust Laws. I hate to sound like a barracks lawyer about what should be just a freaking game (as Woodlandmaster keeps telling me), but if there is something to this or not, I would like to hear something official from Sony and EQ.

A bit of board history 101 here for you. This:
https://everquest.allakhazam.com/ubbnew/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=018062
is a sting operation. Basically you scam the scammer.

The whole point of the post, was that the guy was tring to pass off a nasty trojan, as a program used to raise stats. It really did nothing but steal your user name and password.
Yes, unfortunatly quite real. Note how he asked me to delete my username and re-type it? It was a variation of the "Perfect Keylogger" Info: http://www.pestpatrol.com/PestInfo/p/perfect_keylogger.asp
