Yes the world is black and white.... (just for reference.. driving teachers are now teaching new drivers that if the flow of traffic on the freeway is 75 even though the sign says 65 you damn well best be going 75 or the CHP will stop you for slowing down traffic... not speeding) so much for black and white....
Its just your line is not supported by the past.
Its not cherry picking but more a line in the sand from past and present opinions.
The reason is not what is written in the TOS but what is supported by the legal team.
I think that might be why EA didn't step in as it should have early on...
The first company that started to sell resources from the game to players was the tip of the ice berg.
E bay for a long time helped this blurred line by letting people list for sale "pixels".
EA didn't stop that ether.
One of the legal sides we have not taken into consideration..
Would anything come back to haunt if people took the matter into their own hands to stop it...
My son pointed out even though EA has it in the TOS as a rule, its inaction on this rule and the breaking there of by anyone.
This might be a legal leg to stand on by "Sellers" Time is a big factor.
There is another reason EA might not be acting on the sellers as all think...
They have been for at least the last 5 years if not longer trying to put UO to Sunset.
Why go after the sellers if they are going to kill off the golden cow....
Tina I agree.
We cant control what Broadsword or EA does about it.
There is also a side of the private sales of game material we don't see going on.
I know Blizzard put its foot down on it's games but its still done...
I am not condoning it, but pointing out we can yell and chastise people for it all we like but till the day when EA takes a stand ether way of the black and white line...
I do not give EJ that much power to create the revenue to bring the game back to its former glory.
The finances still all go to EA, plus Mesanna has been on the prowl for more developers ....
My nephew who is in programming of game development at CSUN to keep up with the industry said it best.
EA has a rep for its hiring for box games then the online side ...
There is little chance the game will pull in "new" tech mavens due to the games age. UO development on a resume might hurt prospects then help later...
This mind you this is from the kid who got me into UO.
But if the tech programs on new gaming is to be believed I doubt she will pull in any who would be willing to work on a game that is as old as UO.
If the doom and gloom kids are right UO is way past its expiration date..
Looking for a community rep is not on their radar as long as they need more team members.
From what I have gleamed from the M&G's is that they have the money its the talent side wanting to join them that is giving them trouble.
