this is a bit of a goodbye to the EQ2 community...
In light of station exchange and what it means to EQ2 and indeed the future of MMO's overall.. it's simply not something I can support with my money.
I realize that for many it's "ok as long as it's not on my server"..
but it's not ok, it creates a precedent that says "cheating is OK as long as we get our cut of the profits.. and hey we'll cut you in too through sales, just accept it since it's happening anyway."
this just strikes a moral chord in me that is naseuating..
for those of you staying, I truly hope EQ2 isn't destroyed by this, but real money will equate to real greed.. and I don't like that.. Add in the fact that SOE themselves are saying "buyers are ok" when for the longest time "buyers" were not.. all because they found a strong enough legal stand to make it happen.. and discovered that the secondary market can be pretty lucrative..
sorry.. I can't send my money to such a company..
good luck to you all if you're staying with EQ2.... but I can't stay with SOE.
