I believe it was on Gamestops boards but someone bought a PS3 with gold from WoW. I don't recall how much it was but it ended up being like $100 dollars if they had bought the gold from a farmer.

Wow! I wondered if that has ever happened. That sure brings up some serious issues.
Warcrafts card game is strickly offline and you cannot loot cards in game. Some rare cards have codes to claim items in WoW, but they are only vanity items. No stats or anything like that.
I've heard the EQ card game described as soft RMT sales since you give cash to SOE and get in game "cards". If those cards now give items, then it is just straight up RMT with a randomizer.
Edit: after looking at some of the cards it is very obvious RMT with designs taken from many of the free asian grinder games. Experience, health, mana potions, augment gems, etc. I don't know the quality of the stuff, but it is RMT.

The LoN cards are most definitely RMT, which makes both EQ1 and EQ2 RMT games.
You buy the cards for real money, and then get in-game rewards for trading in those cards in-game.
the thing is you cant just BUY that card. You have to actually buy a pack which has a SLIM chance of getting that card. Then you can seel it for in game currency (ass tons) or sell it online for real money (at the buyers risk).
I see nothing wrong with it. You are paying 15$ a month for an MMO to begin with and they don't use nearly a portion of that to pay for server costs. This gives people who don't have all the time in the world to raid ( you know, those with jobs) to actually get a little advantage .
I say more power to them, put more items up for sale SOE.
I think one of the reasons why I enjoy EQ so much is that the players seem not only more dedicated but also more competent in playing their classes. In WoW, I was lucky if I could have a full group stay for half an hour for a dungeon crawl.
In EQ, not only are people better players... they are more dedicated to their groups.

What the hell does that have to do with anything related to RMT being thust on a game that didn't ask for it and already pays a monthly subscription fee?

I was browsing and must have replied to the wrong forum.
My point was that the whole get-in and get-out mentality is forcing developers to create MMORPG worlds that lack immersion.
Edit: When it comes to selling items for cash, I know nothing about it other than I oppose it.
Ok on the subject of: Everquest has oficially started selling items for hard $.I was passing by and saw the thread on the front page and thought you guys were already talking about it. - I've been having a look around this website,(below) and was just checking it out trying to figure out if it's legit or not,( checkout the companies that are suppose to be supporting it ) http://www.livegamer.com/ looks like the OP might be right and SoE will be letting people sell and buy gold and items and is that the same Funcom as in the AoC Funcom? If it's legit, I think it's about time and a smart idea, illegal gold sellers maybe a thing of the past, no more in game spam,(hopefully) no more post's about getting banned for buying or selling powerleveled characters, hey why is the pig flying pass that telegraph pole, why is that flame frozen solid?.... man it's cold down here.
"In EQ, not only are people better players... they are more dedicated to their groups."
This is likely because anyone still playing EQ has no job or family, so the group fills both positions.
That, and groups consist of multiboxers playing by themselves for the most part.
Neither are true.
It is my background, but I just detest liars. Even online. I have found that liars have a tendency to mislead, dupe, and defraud people.
Edit: disclosed too much personal information. I work and attend school this summer. I manage to have time for Everquest.
Even more, online, those that describe others as "pathetic" or "basement dwellers" or something similar like that tend to be those things themselves, or very close to it. LOL.

/comfort Declaredemer. For me it s more like a divorce going bad, a broken love. the ex- coming back day after day, week after week, years after years (i saw one of them dont even play anymore since 3 years) to harass their ex-hubby or what. That what happend when you put emotion in your activity. They now live by their hate. I am sorry for them and i think they need help but not from me i am not a psy.

They don't call it $OE for nothing!

I never played a RTM game but it would be kinda nice to sell some items to make back some money that I spent on a MMO.

That looks more like the trading card game and not an ingame item. Don't they have a card game called Legends of Norrath?
It's definitly an EQ item, it claimable in EQ and usable.
that LON an optional card game. nothing to do with the actual game

And Blizzards are fairly useless things like tabards and mounts.
There are LoN loot cards that give you items in-game...don't know if this is one of them but yeah just like in WoW.
