To pay or not to pay...

Paypal, paypal, paypal... Some people say, "You have no life if you buy pixels with useful real life cash." But let's ask ourselves, is buying a video game from a store like "Best Buy" the same as buying "pixels" on Eo? Either way, you're buying pixels. What do you people think? Is paypal too risky?

I asked 40 people on Eo above level 7 if they would pay real life cash via paypal for Eo gold.

Every 30 Eo citizens out of 40 said they would, 8 said they wouldn't, and 2 said, "What's paypal."

Is this enough data to decide if paypal is a valid way to exchange real life cash with pixel cash? In the end, this all comes down to you. I don't choose sides like Wikky or other famous Eo bloggers. I project the voice of the Endless-Online citizens.

Fake Events

Fake event(s) just recently one of the most famous scammers on Eo (Approval) held a fake event. I went to get the story and this is how it goes.

According to Fallss, “He is a newb, I hate him, He can’t hack, and I’m not going to that “event.”” Apparently, she had the right idea. When we all went to the event expecting to pick up, “un-lore turtles” and other rare (non-existing) finds, he scrolled. Some famous players were there, vote, karagu, and many others. Many came out of curiosity, greed, or sheer stupidity.

This is what was going through Approval’s mind: “Fame, to be known, and to get the Admin’s attention.” Some people wonder why Vult-r doesn’t just ban his I.P. address. Maybe there’s a reason for Vult’s lack of cracking down on Eo crime. First here’s a little reminder: Please stop attempting to speed, because it just leads to the destruction of your account. People that are just crazily insane for cheats and “hax” eventually just have their account hacked. Ironic eh?

Fake events take place through all of Eo, and we have a name for these people. “Attention Whores.” It’s up to you to decide who these people are. I just report. Don’t shoot the messenger!
