should people make a profit from powerleveling?

[minstrel_kyra]

Before you leet dudes get all excited because I said power leveling, let me just say they don't offer their services on the UK servers.

http://www.daocpowerleveling.com/

Not sure how I feel about this... not even sure if sharing this site with the general public is wise. (but who's to say they wouldn't have found it anyway). This definately takes it to a new level just the morality of taking money for playing a game... I'm not comfortable with that. Then again, it is their time they are giving, I suppose you could argue why shouldn't they get paid for it.

Oh and for those of you wondering what I was doing finding this site, I was looking for an old DAoC website and this happened to be in the list.

The main thing that boggles me with this is that they reckon they have a powerlevelling service on the co op server? That puzzles me a lot

<why play a co op server if you don't want to PvE ...>

For the rest, I don't see it as being much different from buying a character from Ebay, except this may or may not contravene the CoC, whereas buying accounts definitely does. (I'm still vaguely surprised that Mythic haven't started selling level 50 accounts themselves.)


ps. Congrats on getting legendary in tailoring Kyra!

pps. If anyone wants to pay me $20 I will get their alt to level 5 and taxi it to somewhere interesting ... like bottom of Dartmoor, Emain bowl, etc.

[Cstasy]

$600 for lvl 1-50 .... LOL!

 

[mid_Efour]

this is the sadest thing i have ever read connected with daoc

 

[cHodAX]

Fek me, that is sad. Crazy money and I bet some people pay.

 

[old.Gromnir]

jesus

 

[ghoul]

Such prices.

 

[old.Pepsay]

Levels 1 - 5 = $20 USD (this includes taxi service from your start location and to your trainer at lvl 5)

Cant believe that people would actually pay for that.

 

[hangianix]

Well, if someone stupid enough to pay 600 $ (!!!)...

 

[succi]

Ouch , thats steep

 

[Jonaldo]

The whole idea is a bit sad imo

 

[bone_idle]

Where did i put my credit card

 

[spathi]

lolmao some people must pay them although does seem a quite crazy way to make money

 

[gitty]

That is the saddest thing I've ever seen...

 

[Aoln]

i gonna do same thing and charge $550!!

 

[Amanita]

Hell, making money out of something they have fun doing?

Who wouldn't?

Its the saps that actually pay someone to bascially play the game for them and miss out on what are sometimes the most FUN parts of the whole Daoc experience that worry me.

 

[mcirvine]

there's also a guy offering crafting leveling services.

He asks i think around 75 dollar to get you to 500 in a craft, he doesnt craft more then that.

 

[Jonaldo]

OFFERING POSTCOUNT SERVICE

Will get anyone to
'Phnaargos Resident' - only £25
'Talks too much' - only £100
'Earther' - £250
'Forum Deity' - £1000

or your own custom title for some blatant rip-off price that I'll agree with one of the mods should anyone be stupid enough to believe this post.

 

[hangianix]

Where is the "-£x per post you have already made"?

 

[Khalen]

I wouldn't be suprised if some already does PLing for $

 

[-Nxs-]

!!! OLD !!!!

I posted this link about 3 months ago and had a mod remove the URL within 10 minutes, guess there slacking over the holiday

 

[thegreatest]

Think I'm gonna offer the following service:

Change your REAL money in DARK AGE OF CAMELOT In-game money!!! Givf 100$ and get 1 plat! No one can givf u more for your money, mail IWANTTOCHANGEMYMONEYTODAOCMONEY@Hotshit.com

 

[Genius-Ino]

actually its 10 £ per plat i think ^^

 

[Balbor]

how about cash for buffs, heals and rezzes lol, if you die in some strange place just call rezzers-r-us on 1-777-HEALMENOW and we'll send someone round asp.

 

[Tesla Monkor]

The guys offering the service aren't the silly ones here. THey see an opportunity and grab it.

 

[Fafnir]

Find that just as crazy as buying accounts. My brother sold his lvl50 rr5l7 zerk, and 3 other lvl 35+ chars for $800 on the us servers.

 

[legot]

I was just searching around google and came across this advert at the side:
http://www.game-items.com/guides/daoc.html
they offer a leveling guide,a money guide and the speed hack
they claim:
___________________________
We will also let you know how to cheat the game mechanics to RUN FASTER!
No explanation needed for the usefulness of this cheat, it will LET YOUR RUN FASTER!
____________________________

its a shame mythic would'nt be able to do much about them
almost everything they seem to offer seems avalible for free as well
