Hello , i know I've been out for long time (just training chess and working) i was thinking a way to keep doing my kind of extra long epic mega parties, i cant play all time like before (real life duties) so i made a decision (buy GP for real $) i only need the help of a GM for transactions (he keep the gp while a i send the money via pay pal to the seller. i show him the transaction screenshot, then i get my gp) after that parties for everyone.
I think that 0.10 USD per million is ok, so let me know your opinion. I will buy only lots of one dollar or bigger.
I agree with Ablu and LordDune. The simply idea of watching TMW becoming a pay-to-win game make me sick. Of course you don't make a huge business such as those we can see with big MMORPG, but that's the same way.

Agree, for example in Ragnarok (Chaos) ...without paying 7 to 15 USD monthly you are crap xD, ALL the maps that have good drops are full of bots, and the prices of the expensive stuff is insane.
Agreed! No way should you pay real $$ for gp. And there are a lot more quests and activities for groups to do together now, no need for drop parties really. Just wait till you try the Ilia quest

Even if it directly benefits the project, it still should be against the rules. This is not a freemium game. The only exception would be when the admins ask for donations to buy new hardware needed to keep things going, but even then there should be absolutely zero in-game benefit (including zero vanity items or titles) for doing so.

It already happened in the past, Immotev sold his accounts: http://forums.themanaworld.org/viewtopi ... it=immotev; tpoic subject and first post have been changed though, it was " Post subject: Selling my account lvl 98"
The personal data own to players, there is nothing anyone can do about it. The best is to let the topic run until it is forgotten and not bump it (sorrry for this one).

Unfortunately there is really nothing the GMs or developers can do against real-money trade. When someone trades an expensive item or lots of money to someone else without receiving anything in return, there is no way for them to tell if a real-money transaction in the opposite direction has taken place. All they can do is to not support this directly. So, Jael RD, unfortunately
Please do not send me any inquiries regarding player accounts on TMW.
You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.
