That's strange, as it's part of the EULA that you agree to after installing and after every patch.Brunore said:Sorry guys I didnt know that selling accounts was not allowd.
I know it says DAOC, but I've highlighted the parts of interest. So once again, how are you not aware of it?More specifically, try and trade a DAOC account here and you could well find yourself banned (and your soul sold to Deebs, also known as The Devil). We'll be happy to extend sentences in hell to people who wish to try to trade in things we haven't yet envisaged also, so be it husband or wife, or even mother in law, or anything else you try to trade, we MIGHT slap a ban on your head if we think it's needed. In other words, we don't really want people trading here
In a couple of years when you learn that you have to take responsibility for your actions, you'll most likely start reading that "BS" as you eloquently put it.Meduza said:Do u even know how few ppl that actually reads that BS?

Now if only "common sense" was common... nah; I guess some people have to burn before learning not to play with matches.
If they don't read the rules that apply to the game they are playing, do you feel they can bitch and moan about what happens if they break them? (not applicable in this case, just a general question) In my opinion; it's a gamble they take as they can't be arsed reading through "all that shit".Vesuvius said:nah tbh whisperess 90% of the mmporg pop dont read rules n regulations.. i played DAoC for 3 years and never read that one. i HAVE read WoW's but i'm still in addict mode and had nothing better to do while warsong was down..
Yes. (honestly)Vesuvius said:And do you really feel its necessary to "take responsibility for your actions" in an online game? try n answer honestly.
If it's a game I'm going to pay for monthly (whenever there's money or personal information involved) I do read through all the rules before the first time I play it. I have read through WoW's, and I have read through Daoc's. While I have tested EQ2 (giving it a fair chance that didn't last very long, and with no intention of paying for it monthly) - no, I haven't read their eula. Should I lose my mind and decide to pay for it monthly; I would read their eula through before making my first payment. You catch my drift?Vesuvius said:do you honestly read every contract you sign concerning online games before logging on?
somehow, i dont think so
more likely you checked up on this before posting.
That's their problem, not mine. It's a way to "burn" people so that next time they do read things through before grabbing after that box of matches. If it makes me come across as arrogant, so be it. Not that I give a damn.Vesuvius said:Try not to sound so arrogant when you know people dont read the contracts they sign.
Yep, just wish "common" would mean something more than "sporadic".Vesuvius said:will agree with one thing though, even though i've never really read the codes of conduct etc, afaik its still common knowledge that account sales are prohibited.

That *was* what I meant... DAoC have somekind of similar rulesSendraks said:Its actually quite a common set of terminology for online games I understand and I would't be surprised if it was used elsewhere.
Saw a survey of the age of who plays online games at my m8s house. Gonna try find it. It says something about 60% (dont hold me up on the number, but more than 50%) was the age of 18 or below in MMORGs in Europe (or maybe UK only, cant remember).Sendraks said:I'm not sure what your basis for this statement is, given that the average age for the Euorpean computer games player is approx 20-25 years old.

btw get into WoW
Ye, Id like to see that source too...Sendraks said:I'm not sure what your basis for this statement is, given that the average age for the Euorpean computer games player is approx 20-25 years old.
Tallen said:If im last to 60 i get a cookie
On-topic: Sendraks, where did you get that average age from, what source?
There was a BW poll a long time ago that had the average age as 17 if i remember correctly, be interesting to see if the genre is moving towards older players as it would seem from WoW that more younger players are drawn to the game as a proportion.
Of course, since in multiplayer games your choices affect others as well. Just makes sense for normal people.Vesuvius said:And do you really feel its necessary to "take responsibility for your actions" in an online game? try n answer honestly.
Ormorof said:surely if it was on BW and those players are still playing then it would be 18+ now?

As I said: Most statistics r made on the spot!Sendraks said:Off the top of my head, it was either in PC Gamer a few years ago or the Official PS2 mag. I forget, I've read both regularly over the years.
...some sort... probably... some such... Yes, accuracy sure isnt needed when making up statistics!Sendraks said:The figure was for europe and was some sort of market research type thing, probably done by Sony Europe or some such.
Resources to buy? Dont u know that most kids gets their parents to buy those consoles, and the whole discussion about violent computergames comes from the same parents buying their kids these consoles and games? There wouldnt be such a debate, if ur *proclaimed* age group was right, would there? (ie. 25+ years of age!)Sendraks said:Anyhow, basically the average age of computer games players in Europe was around the 25year old mark, based on the fact that consoles like the PS2 and Xbox had made gaming popular again and the people with the resources to buy said consoles and games were people of the age group 20-30 years old.
In ur experience... Aye! Whom u seem to talk to... Aye! But like u write:Sendraks said:This could readily be extrapolated to P.C gamers who seem to be, from my experience, more likely to be in full time employment with the resources to buy and maintain their own P.Cs. Certainly its true from my own experience, as the majority of gamers I know are of my age, so around 30 years old give or take a few grey hairs. Certainly the majority of people I knew when playing DAoC were of my age or older with very few under 20s about. Doesn't mean they're not out there, but I just don't think they are in majority.
U wouldnt continue to talk to these *pricks*, ehh? So most likely u avoid a lot of ppl, and the online friends u make seems to be around ur own age, and therefore u *think* that all online gamers r around *ur* age!Sendraks said:Tbh, I think if you run into someone in game acting like an immature prick, odds are they are 20+ (or maybe even 35, married with 2 kids and a cat called Perkins) and they just are an immature prick, rather than someone still in their teens.
