- Its legal to promote "site" on vendors (using books on vendors) and bulletin
boards on shops, to promote "site" where you can buy items and golds for rl$?

- Its legal to sell "clearly" duped items on vendors? (putting them for sale on vendors or just writing on books, "not for sale" on vendors, that say "xxx for sale, contact me icq: xxxxx")


...i see many shops that do it!

Nope.

Personally I would page and say.
The shop 'name' at location 'co-ords/town, facet' is in violation of rule 8 of the rules of conduct. Please check.


here's where I got the information on which rule is being broken

i just do it.
but when it say i have to put 3 names of players involved i write the name of the owner of the house and the name of, at last, 2 of the vendors name. But
it say that "complaint target *vendor name* was not found"!!
but looks like he accepted the name of the owner of the shop!

Hmmm, interesting, my post with a screenshot of Napa's "King of Dupers" and his friend wearing highly illegal items was deleted. From what i understand, it's against Stratics' RoC to directly name someone, but it's not illegal to show a screenshot with their name/paperdoll in it.

Well, like i said before my post was deleted, there is a vendor house in Luna on Napa that used to have a bunch of vendors on it that were decked out with HIGHLY illegal items on their' paperdoll, stuff that was plainly duped. Even the vendors were tweaked, they had 2 weapons in the same hand, both weapons an illegal color.

Pretty sad when GMs can see those and people wearing them illegal items and do nothing, but as soon as they see someone with a url in their profile (Even one to your guild website or favorite music band) they'll ban you immediately.

omg, another canned response....
BUT, suddently all sites promoted on the shop bullettin board "disappear"!
Owner remove it or....gm remove it without doing something?
I think the second....SAD! SAD and SAD!

someone can point me in the right direction i dont
wanna see shops like this, having vendors that sell duped items
(like vine cord sandals) ...these vendors also wear some pair of vine cord sandals,
promote gold for rl$ with icq and istruction!

disgusted!

again: "someone can point me in the right direction"?
what else i can do? contact jeremy or what?
thx

yes, send the information to Jeremy.

and wait to see what happens. What's been done so far may not be all that's going to be done.

GM's have limited powers, it may be that whoever dealt with it will have to consult someone higher up before he can do more.

Which 'canned response' did you get?

Have to remember sometimes the owner of the building doesn't know that the person is going to do this. They tell the shop owner that they are going to sell "rares" out of the vendor and the owner rents out the spot to them without second thoughts until it's too late. Then they have to wait a week for the contract to expire before they can get rid of them.

everything is legal in this game.


I justed check Asheron's Calls boards. Its amazing they are still giving monthly content updates/patches.


I wish they hadn't screwed up my account info when microsoft took over. I really like playing games that update/fix on a regular basis.

Once a quarter isn't enough for me.

For the time being yes. The book part is doing nothing wrong. Selling of duped goods not cool, but unless you can prove to them or the GM's can prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that the item is duped then they cannot do anything.

I also use books like that on my vendors for high dollar items. I put "xxx item for sale. ICQ me" etc. Saves alot on vendor fees. I also pay nearly 500k per day for my vendor to operate right now. So I am paying my dues.

Mhm, you're wrong. Wouldn't be logical not to allow written names but permit screenshot with the same name, would it?

correct, but in this case, like i say before, also the owner of this shop
have on "HIS" shop bulletin board "sites" and notes about selling rares items and
gold for rl$!

ops, sorry, "had", because after i page on gm i was waiting in queue and then
after some secs, the messages (with sites and $) on his bulletin board disappear!!

Great gm work, dont you think so?

the SAD face, is that we can do nothing against this...
also with clear info &amp; indications!

honest 0 - notHonest 1 (again)!

"honest 0 - notHonest 1 (again)!"

- I don't understand why you keep mentioning that.

You called the GM.
The GM gave you a 'canned response'.
The GM acted upon your concerns and removed the bulletin board information.
You have no idea if or when that person's account may be actioned (might be banned, might get a warning, might happen next time they log in, or the GM's might have flagged this account to look into banning more than just that account).

But the GM has already shown you proof that they have acted upon this issue.
Usually you don't get to see such clear proof that they have taken action, but with the BBoard being involved you got to see it get erased.

So, why do you still think the bad guy won after you've been given proof that the GM took action in response to your concern?

Jeez, there's some reeeeeeeeal Deputy Dans on this board.

Excuse me, constable, chief, sergeant, and lieutenant; you guys have a minute? Might I make a suggestion?

Stop policing everyone and just freakin' play.

<font face="courier new">No, I don't advertise on uo, no I don't deal duped items, no I haven't had the GMs paged on me and I'm bitter. I just happen to know how to mind my own business. I grew out of tattle-tailing on my seventh birthday. </font type=fixed>

no let me correct you: General principle of lobbying: squeaky wheel gets the grease, unless its players squeaking about speedhacks, hacks in pvp, in Ultima Online
