&gt; I strongly disagree. I have a friend who makes about 4000 a month from
&gt; selling EQ items and accounts. Granted he "works" at least 14 hours a
&gt; day. Any kind of a group effort there could easily make more than that.
&gt;

Ok. i give you that.  Not a lot of money but maybe its okay money.

&gt; &gt; The other thing that such a move does is get the people off of
&gt; &gt; fairly safe places such as Ebay and into more underground activities.
&gt; &gt; But such is Verant's (Brad's) surgical approach to problems.
&gt;
&gt; I do agree. However this method will only effect the small guys. The
&gt; traders who have established a name for themselves only use eBay for new
&gt; client advertising.

yes.

&gt;
&gt;
&gt; Hehe sorta seems silly that we are talking about a game here? =]
&gt;

actually we are talking about the selling and buying of virtual objects.  But
it would be boring to mention UO2 at this point.  EQ is the one grabbing the
headlines.
