Buy My Rock!

Where can I start? There are only a handful of people actually playing this game on a regular basis who are not employed by Mindark. When a new player joins, they are befriended by several Avatars immediately. These are generally employees of Mindark who are paid staff sitting around to show you how to sweat, get to know you a bit. The avatars are many times the same employee logged in as several different people at the same time. Another thing these employees do is rig the auction to affect the market price of the various items for sale. It is a simple thing to see this is a fact. Just TRY to put an item up for sale in the auction at market price, chances are very good that it will never sell, until you drop the price below market value. Look at the names of the avatars selling and bidding, you will consistently see the same names popping up. Sometimes you will even see blatant market manipulation such as an avatar selling a number of an item, and in the same auction you will see them bidding on items others are selling which are identical to the ones they are auctioning off!! Notice the people in your friends list, keep the window up, sometimes their computer crashes and several avatars will go offline all at the same time, then a minute later you will see them all pop back up within a few seconds of each other. Watch it several days, you will see it happens EVERY time it is NOT a coincidence. Also note the avatars just standing around Port Atlantis, you will see one or two dash across the courtyard only to stop again and just stand there doing nothing as they make a couple more avatars dash about, then they stop and others do the same thing. Also, pull up the friends list, pick 3-4 avatars you saw log off all at once and then back on a minute later the day before, and initiate a conversation with each of them. At first all will answer you in turn, but then as you hold up the conversation you will notice them getting confused as they try to keep up. Another thing, look in the auction for a component called basic filters. These are a crafted item which is useless, it is only sold to the trade terminal for 0.01 PED each. Yet pull up the market value of them, you will see they apparently are valued OVER the trade terminal price. This blatant market manipulation by the employees. Another thing to see how much of a joke this game is, after yo uget all of the teleports, go to each one and take note of the amount of green dots in the area. You will note many in Port Atlantis, almost always, since this is the starting place for new players and they want to make a good impression. But continue cycling to all the different teleports over the course of a day then do the same thing over a night, I have done it many times, the same avatars are always standing around, they will just stand in same place for hours, or pretty much the same place. This is not possible for a player who is not logged in to the server over a LAN, if you are connected through DSL/Cable, after a period of inactivity you will be booted. One other thing, go to an area where there are a few players, try nymphtown, there are few players there yet see how terrible the lag is as you try to sweat creatures. I could go on and on with this, but i don't want to bore you with the thousands of other observations I have made in this "game" which prove to me and my friends beyond a shadow of doubt that there are perhaps 2000-3000 active players in this game (even that may be an exaggeratedly high figure) and majority of them are Mindark employees. Only a tool will play this game, or scammers, but the biggest scammers there are Mindark staff themselves, the majority of scams perpetrated in the game are done by the staffers. They will kick outsider scammers because they withdraw their proceeds, but the staff scammers loot goes into the pot for Mindark and their friends. The same players hit the globals again and again. Don't be a tool, stay away form this scam.
