I am not allowed to post a link to my site since it's against the Stratics TOS to link to a site that has links to sites that are against EA's TOS. To be more vaguely specific, on my website, I "could" have a link to a auction site that sells other game currency & items for such online games as Wow, Lotro, etc etc. That is not allowed. I "could" have link to a site that allows people to use a search database to find in game items in UO, mostly luna vendors but some other locations as well. Again, that is not allowed. IF I were to share the name of such "possibly existing" sites that I "could" have links to, it could result in a third strike on my Stratics account. I do not wish for my stratics account to be perma banned.
Thus on stratics, I can only share my icq # and not a link to my site. That being said, there is another uo forum's site that does allow anyone to share such "possible" info. If you'd like my specific thoughts on the whole Stratics thing, email me or icq me. Posting my thoughts publicly on this site would result in a "possible" perma ban. I can say that I love google. It's great for finding information & sites that "may" exist. Yes, this post has been reviewed by my legal buddies.

The reality is that selling UO gold or items for dollars is a violation of the UO user agreement. It expressly states that everything in-game belongs to EA, thus selling gold, items, etc.. breaks that agreement. Therefore, stratics should prohibit the link because the ROC excludes any promotion which violates a game's user agreement.
However, since EA chooses not to enforce that portion of the user agreement, Stratics also looks the other way.
