Here's two more scummy ads that have popped up. The first is a site that sells items from Guild Wars for real life cash. Its address is:

https://gamersloot.net/catalog/index...FRPrPgod0Cml6w

The second is a site that claims to pay people for playing video games. Just looking over this site makes me VERY SUSPICIOUS, as it seems to scream "scam" to me. Look over it yourself to see what I mean. Its address is:

at some point I have to let the user beware.
This is jsut like any "get rich quick/easy" scheme... buyer beware. But it is up to the buyer to beware.
(I checked it out with a throwaway email account I have, and it does charge to get the full information....)

Some scumbag by the name of accounT just started threads in the baking and help wanted forums advertising his (poorly constructed and laggy) site, http://www.gneedg.com, that sells game currency for real money, for a wide variety of online games.

Kindly dispose of this trash.

Apparently they don't even sell plat for EQ1...

I'm amazed by the level of moronicity. (That's a word because I made it up just now).

[Lanthorny]

not sure if this counts

...

claims to sell software to make bugged weapons in WoW so not really EQ related ....

Today there was an add simply called EverQuest. it lead to a site called shipica.com which was nothing but ads for platinum sales sites for both eq and eq2.

Here's another one. An advertisement that leads to a site called OForU, which offers powerleveling (for real money, of course) for World of Warcraft, EverQuest 2, and others. The full address is:

Yet another one called Everquestplat. The full address is:

http://www.everquestplat.info/Result...uC8BJVeg%3d%3d

It's stuffed with advertisements that mainly deal with selling EverQuest and Everquest 2 platinum for cash. Incidentally, although it appears that the page is a search engine, it's not. I tried some key words in the search engine box, and no results were produced.
