fare the wellFollow

Ohh Mr Charmer.

And I'm sorry but anybody that eats at BurgerKing deserves whatever they get.

ohh and a headsup for the future... it's because ...


A shining example of what EQ has become, sad really.

damn strsight..youll be back.. anyone who is sop addicted as to be watching this site when they dont even play the game will deffinately come back to the game..ive heard people say that 100's of times (mostly from the same person) youll be back soon enough..see ya later

I think the point in this thread is that Mr. Tiedye does care. If he didn't, you are right, he would already have moved on. Having known him in-game he has always been a very optimistic player even when I run around screaming that the Norrathian sky is falling, yet I am still here and he is gone.

Nay, Anexkahn, he cares very much, and we who knew him in-game are sad to see him go.

Not if people keep bumping it by asking "omg is this post ever gonna fade away?"

:p

I was suprised I didnt see more posts like this when station exchange went live. EQ1 actually probably benefited from all the people leaving EQ2 and flocking back to EQ1. IF this were to go to EQ1 I am sure this forum would be flooded. As servers merge and guilds die its not as easy to be so smug about messages people post when they are quitting.

you are insane i am buying eq platnum soon and you are a idiot for doing this staion just wanted to end the undergroud dealings so they made the exchange system they jeperdised there oun code to protect it

I think it's a great idea as long as they follow a few simple rules:

Create a new Exchange server(s) and keep it off existing servers
[li] Allow free transfers to the new Exchange server(s)
[li] DO NOT allow transfers from the Exchange server(s) to any existing servers for any reason
[li] Sell the items and Plat cheap enough to make online sales (i.e. Yantis) no longer profitable.
[li] Vigirously persue any other form of PP/Item selling outside of their new service to protect their profits or whatever

This allows for players that want to see how much money they can spend to be uberer than each other to have their very own Twink servers to play on and hopefully discourage ITEM/PP sales on existing servers.

This reminds me of the guy that marries a prostitute and then gets upset when he finds out she's been doing tricks on the side. Did you expect anything different?

SOE is a corporation. The prime duty of any corporation is to make a profit. If you expect anything more then you are only setting yourself up for disappointment.

Lets look at this realisticly for a second. There is NOTHING legally that SOE can do to combat the selling of in-game items. I suppose if SOE had an army they could charge the Chinese embassey and demand that IGE surrender but that's not quite realistic. It's a case of "if you can't beat them then join them". Seems like a common sense approach to me. I personally have no problem with the way they have handled this problem.

To each their own I suppose. Enjoy playing WoW.

I forgot to add, that change is only for EQ2. It does not affect EQ1 in the slightest.

Seems kind of stupid to cancle your eq1 account for something that's happening in a completly different game. Lol

You are probably a relativly intelligent person but like a lot of people, I don't think your opinions are well thought out and are probably more emotionally based rather then rationally thought out.

Tie, I've never met you, never even talked to you, but you're better off without this game. I quit a while back and have never been happier with my life. Quitting over Station Exchange is a good reason IMO, why should the people who are rich in real life be rewarded in game? Just because you can afford to buy plat or whatever doesn't mean you should, it takes away from gameplay. I've had a few friends who have bought adena on L2, myself included. It took so much fun from the game just thinking, "Oh theres no need to farm, I'll just drop a bit of money down and I'll have lots of ingame cash."

I played EQ for the longest time, quit even before the Station exchange, but I, like you, would leave if I was still playing. I salute you Tie, and wish you well on whatever you decide to do with your free time now that you're gone from EQ.



It's people like YOU who tick me off, RMT is bad for games. Be it legit or not. More and more money will be placed into the game this way, with no way to get rid of it. Pretty soon all of your money will be worth jack sh[/b]it. Everquest is dying. It's been slowly dying since it was created, as we all have been. RMT is a cancer that makes the game die faster. Take a look at Lineage 2. RMT runs rampant there because the GM's don't give a flying fu[b]ck. That game is dead, there is nothing they can do about it. And even if they could, they wouldn't. That's how much money they get from the farmer's accounts.

Take care Tie and the rest of you who aren't blind to the problems RMT brings to games.

I don't get the big deal

People will always buy items and plat......So why should SoE not profit from it? I mean it IS THEIR GAME why should they not profit from it? They can not stop it so why not join it?

Personally I think it is a great idea. Plus they cannot violate their own EULA......they made their EULA....they can change it.....
Maybe this will cut down on the EQplat sites.
