Thanks.


The funny thing about the thread this person made last night is that it was revealed (by ISD) that this is Selinate's alt.

There is no CCP-approved way of converting ISK into real life money.

Games that have sanctioned RMT (both ways) do much better for quality of the community.

There are sites selling you GTC for real money,
but they buy GTC directly from CCP, in higher quantities.

Nowadays they are still pronounced the same. They also mean the same thing- now serving sentences in 30 days or less!!! (Pizza Pizza).

Over 30 days and off to prison:)

My brother tolld me to jump off the roof of the house with a plastic bag for a parachute. Told me he's done it last week with a small one and I'd be fine since we had a big one now.

No one ever went to gaol for selling PLEX.


Actually in South Korea it may be illegal

All in-game pixels belong to CCP. You cannot re-sell them.

The funny thing about the thread this person made last night is that it was revealed (by ISD) that this is Selinate's alt.


So it wasn't just me who noticed that interesting little nugget of information.

I highly, highly doubt that ISD have access to that kind of information.

I basically skipped everything else to reply to this once i saw it.

The D3 community is not what i would consider "quality". Please don't go around spreading such misinformation. You are the equivalent of OPs brother.

And this makes it illegal in most, if not all, countries in the world. It is just about the equivalent of stealing an item and then selling it to somebody.
CCP owns the data, and selling PLEX for real money is selling the property of CCP.
