Maybe you should think of what you are saying. Here is a quote by Jackiee TC that maybe you should consider:
<blockquote><hr>
Oy, Its sort of silly to base the current progress of the current team, on the previous progress of no team.
I hope where you work, they don't base your value as an employee on work that was done before you got there.

You are confusing the current devs with EA. The current devs provide names and faces for what was, previously, a nameless corporation. Donavan is 100% correct -- EA is to blame.
We are not talking about the game being neglected by any specific dev. It was EA that caused this mess. If the Ajax Plumbing Company does a crummy job and messes up my plumbing system, and then sends another set of plumbers out to fix it, I am still gonna blame Ajax for all the mess I have to deal with, even though the second set sets things right. Oy.

Simple economics?? It had nothing to do with second life. If they didn't do what they are doing, the game would have been gone months ago. That is a fact. Please do your history of everything that is going on with the game at the blog and wiki. k thx.

I think they should have all money objects set at max payouts and leave it that way we r the one paying to play this game and i have been playing for almost 5 years and i dont think it is right od the dev team to tell use what the payouts are going to be since we r the ones pay to plat the game

I can see it now. My headline news article that day will read:
NEWS: Pandemonium Hits EA-Land!
In a drastic change of ideas today, Luc and the entire Dev team have decided to make it very easy to make money. It took just one hour for me to make 100k. After making my 100k I quickly bought a new house and dolled it up with all sorts of expensive things. I asked people to come over, but they were busy at their own houses waiting for guests. Everyone has a lot size 8. Everyone has a store in which they can buy from the catalog. Everyone has everything. There is nothing to do and the game is falling fast. Who knew giving the players what they wanted could ruin the game?
Sorry if that was a little harsh, but that is what would happen.

Seriously, did you want the game turned off months ago?? They are doing what they are doing so they some remnant of TSO survives. In order for that to happen money and all sorts of other changes have to occur. Paying to play is just that, paying to play.
The devs are trying to keep this thing alive and by doing what you are saying is a good way to kill it all off. Way to go

And you would have the old productin cities that we've played in for the past 5 years and the problem there is? besides a major exploit recently that if never happened this entire thread would not exist because there'd be no need for this crappy closed economy they are destroying er um creating.
yes they whine and cried so loud that the devs are going TOO far with this nonsense and are ruining the game even further. It was bad enough being neglected for years, now they're just dismantling the game so horribly that players will leave esp once they see all the restrictions.

Are you serious???? When are you going wake up and realize that without the changes, you wouldn't be playing right now. The game would have been shut down months ago. Seriously, read up on the blog and wiki. Maybe you would learn a thing or two.
If this is seriously the way you feel, then why haven't you quit already? They are destroying anything. And if the exploit didn't happen, this thread would still have came about. End of story. k thx.

Says you blah blah, the game WOULD still be hee therec was never anything said that they definitely woul have shut it down. Where have YOU been? YES if that exploit never happened then there would be NO need to fx the economy and all this tso-e etc would have never emerged.
Besides they are doiung mainly what they want, NOT what plsayes wanted.. These image nonsense isn't rally custom content, its just recoloring signs or chairs. Customcontent to me is the ability to change and alter objects, not just slap a new graphical image over it. At least we are gettig a few sims chairs though.
Why am I still here? I'll tell you why, To see what happens in this cash selling stuff. YES you can best bet I WILL be sellig mine back to EA making ABSOLUTELY as much as possible that they allow daily, if I can earn that much that is, LOL. Or if they have a limit maybe try sell to players like many others do now. Seems like an easy thing to do who knows.

The devs themselves have said time and time again that without these changes, the game would have been shut off. Where have YOU been?? Don't believe me?? Go ask one.
They are doing what the players ask. Read the blog and wiki where ideas and such have been suggested before you start pretending to know what is going through their heads. k thx.
The devs have stated time and time again that custom content will take time. The altering of objects is a long way off. Stop thinking what there is now is all you will ever get. There is a plan set out of what they intend to accomplish. Once again, please read up on the blog and wiki before pretending you know what is going through the devs heads. k thx.
Please go here blog and here wiki for any other info you might need before you go about making false accusations. k thx.

We pay to go bowling. Does the bowling alley allow you to walk out with all the pins in your bowling bag?
We pay to go to the movies. Are we allowed to pull up the seats and take them home with us?
When you rent a hotel room, do we just take the towels....WAIT that wasn't me!!!

SORRY Dutch, BUT PATHETIC att3mpt at an analogy here. EA HAS ALWAYS allowed selling of in game items from TSO from the beta until today. The ONLY thing they didn't alllow was ADVERTISING that you sell the items in game. Even here at stratics talking about it until recentlt wasn't allowed, but the actual sales HAVE ALWAYS been ALLOWED.
NOBODY will EVER be hauled to court over selkling TSO cash and NEVER will be as it is perfectly legal and ALWAYS HAS been. Stop trying to make it sound illegal when it CLEARLY is perfectly legal ad NOT against the law at all and/or EA's policies.

QUESTION
<font color="purple">Is it illegal to sell my TSO items for real money?</font>

More and more the changes are restoring the game to what it was in 2002. I like what's happening. I like seeing the game become what it was supposed to become way back then. I'm enjoying the game for the first time in YEARS.
Much thanks to Luc and his team for giving us back the real TSO.

Your attempt at being nasty and I guess subsequently attempting to make me angry has failed!
I had a really double-over, tear inducing laugh when I read your response. I'll probably break out in giggles the rest of the day.
My post was explaining why I am against the selling of EA merchandise by private TSO players.
It's rather comical that NOW that EA is going to get into the game of selling items, folks are crying fowl. To me, it's about time that money goes into EA's pocket.
EA doesn't actually need to change the ToS on this one. They just have to open their own stores and undercut the competition to the point that it's not profitable for the average player to do it any longer.
I see Custom Content as the place where 'average' players will make real money in the future. They will not have to compete against EA on custom content. They will have to compete against each other!
Do you do custom content? What happens when players start knocking off custom content idea? According to the ToS you quoted, EA's not going to get involved in your dispute. Good luck settling it on your own because that's what the rule states!
This is one of those hot button issues that really needs to be addressed now and not down the road when it becomes a MAJOR problem.

Nobody is trying to anger you nor trying to be nasty, I was pointing out your analogy sucked was all. Laugh all you like you make no difference in my life, lol.
Uh who's crying fowl over EA selling simoleans? I could care less and think its a bit late for them to finally start doing it is all.
Who are you kidding beyond yourself that its not profitable for the player to sell no matter how low? As it is ALL players pay $9.99 a month or close to that. ANY amount that they earn back by selling tso items no matter how log it takes them to make is 100% profit. The subscription is paid for so any money coming back to the player is indeed profit no matter how big or small. It is money they otherwise would not have had.
I do not do custom content nor am I interested in it. Also it's not "my dispute" as you say and yes EA will NOT get involved in ANY dispute be it cash or account disputes or item/objects which to me includes and would especially be included on custom content.
And hey if there ever is a dispute over something i sold in game as far as I'm concerned it's NOT worth arguing over, let the customer have it. Items can EASILTY be replaced and sold again to them or other customers. Arguing never settles anything and is bad business. So there I settled the dispute and no problem as you think there would have been.
pfffft!

Although the way he said it was kinda snarky, he is correct that buying simoleans has never been a violation.

I'm not crying foul, but some people have always been against the buying of in game money and goods with real money no matter who is doing it. They were against it as a matter of principle - until EA decided to get in on it - then it was fine. The people who have always been and still are against I have no problem with. They have the right to a consistent opinion based on their principles. The rest strike me as a bit inconsistent.
As for me, I'm perfectly fine and always have been with the buying and selling of simoleans. I welcome the opportunity to sell to EA if their price is right.

Wrong. There is no profit until they have made over $9.99. Even then its not a profit because you will need to pay taxes on it because it is in fact considered earned income.

Why are people so set on living in the past?
I think we have proof that the past practices did not work and yet we have people that want to keep the tradition alive.
I love the 'stick it to the man' attitude. It's really going to prolong the life our our game isn't it?
With some of the attitudes of some people in our community, I think it is VERY wise if EA calls off the buy back of Simoleans for their own protection.
I can see people botting as many simoleans as possible just to sell them back to ea in attempt to 'stick it' to EA.
And thus we come full circle on this thread....thus the money object du jour making the most payouts was typing...thus the devs changed it up. Go figure!

My thoughts exactly.
The exchange rate will be changed as soon as they figure out how much they are buying back and remind us that the rate is always fluctuating. The loop hole built right in. No one can complain. They warned us!

Ok, well the conversation is over now that you are going to just be petty and start bashing people.
I will tell you this.....there are people here that I don't agree with on some things and we don't even agree about it when we are in a community house in game.
But the one thing I can say for them is they have never ever disrespected me as a person or a player. We silently agree to disagree on things. There are some here I've had many flaming arguments with but I adore the heck out of them in game because they are really awesome people!
And believe it or not...the devs want to hear both sides of the coin. But sometimes people are very 'abrasive' with the way they present their comments. And if someone constantly was yelling in your face, would you tend to listen to them either?

Why do you assume either on of us is talking about you? I don't know about NightFlyer, but I wasn't refering to you when I made the original comment about somebody from the inner core talking to the dev's about these issues.
So we're not going to hear how your suggestion of EA dropping the buyback of simoleans accomplishes anything? Why people won't just sell them to someone else if EA won't buy them?

Please read quote in Dutch's post. You agreed with what was said. So it might as well have been you that said it.
As far as the payouts go, I'm glad they are doing what they are doing. Everyone is complaining about not being able to make enough money. They cut the payouts, but they also cut the prices of everything else. I don't see the big deal.

I am really enjoying the challenges of TC3 and am looking forward to the merge which orignally I was dreading for the longest time, however, while making money typing, someone stated that the payouts on typing we're going to be lowered so that sims will use the other money making objects. If this is true it's very disappointing because even those payouts are low. At maxed skill you make $250 a story. Maybe it would be better to raise the payout on the other money making objects instead. It already feels like we're working ourselves out of the great depression.

Its quite possible that during the second typing more people were typing than the first. The more people who type, the more money you get.
It is also possible that Luc is having fun in his office changing the payouts every two seconds. Although the latter would be funnier, I doubt that is the case

Okay, you are misinformed and you think just because what is in your head is right. You are wrong. Like horribly wrong. Go talk to a dev. I was told just the other day by a dev and it is posted on these boards(I will edit this post with the link) that the number of players currently playing is increasing.
Here is the Thread where Lee talks about more people being in TC3.
Now as far as your wrong information, they are trying to make money. Lee has said the game is in the red. That means EA is losing money. So bringing in more players and bringing back old players is a means to get this game out of the red. If you can't see that, you are naive.
Since when is the posting of ideas on the wiki propaganda?? Seriously, some of the ideas posted there have been implemented into the game in TC3 already. Please, try to share information that is verifiable instead of udder nonsense. k thx.

Perhaps you are thinking of the blog located at TSO-e.com. The wiki, game-blueprints.com, was created by the devs but the vast majority of the posted development plans come from the community not the devs.

Okay, you are misinformed and you think just because what is in your head is right. You are wrong. Like horribly wrong. Go talk to a dev. I was told just the other day by a dev and it is posted on these boards(I will edit this post with the link) that the number of players currently playing is increasing.
Here is the Thread where Lee talks about more people being in TC3.
Now as far as your wrong information, they are trying to make money. Lee has said the game is in the red. That means EA is losing money. So bringing in more players and bringing back old players is a means to get this game out of the red. If you can't see that, you are naive.
Since when is the posting of ideas on the wiki propaganda?? Seriously, some of the ideas posted there have been implemented into the game in TC3 already. Please, try to share information that is verifiable instead of udder nonsense. k thx.

i dont feel a need to talk to a developer. i do very much understand what in the red means i do know several ppl now that i talk to on yahoo that are leaving when the merge happens they are just riding out the production cities till tso as we have all known it is gone which it will be when the merge happens so tc3 might be gaining some ppl, my gues its new sims not new accounts they are counting. when the merge happens and tso is officially gone then you will see a flood of ppl leaving so therefore im not wrong as you state. none of the items i have stated were in my head they were all based on playing the real tso for a long time what the developers are creating isnt tso its a new version partially based on tso which was the game we all played for years, they are creating it based on their own ideas a a few insiders not based on what the majority of ppl have wanted all along maybe instead of being a sheep and reading the wiki and dev log maybe you should go to production cities and talk to some of the older players see if they wanted tso destroyed. maybe you and some others like the new game but id say that alot more dont like the way it has changed or is gonna change. however i might be wrong, but i dont believe i am id bet that when the merge happens alot of ppl are gonna leave id suggest alot more than will start so we will wait and see what the result is. the fact that ea is trying to make money i have no issue with i never have had a problem with them making money, had they been doing things all along id submit that alot of ppl that left when the mass exodus occured to second life would never have happened , but ea simply neglected the game to the point where alot left now going beyond that the new changes arent the way to go either its supposed to be a game not work shouldnt have to work all day just to buy a chunk of wall for a house or for a couch,ppl work all day this is supposed to be entertainment not more work
