Question, how many people read EULA's when installing software. I work in the computer industry and KNOW how often I or my clients read a EULA.
The reason I ask is because I was recently punished for breaking a EULA rule that even after reading the EULA is not mentioned - buying ISK's. I have never known a game that states gameplay rules in a EULA.
I do not mind being punished when I knowingly offend but if EVE is going to have rules then please DESCRIBE them.

I usually read EULAs, but I'm a bit weird; it's my idea of having a fun time 
Section 7B is 'Selling Items and Objects' (it includes currency)

The EULA is the thing full of legalese that I just scroll by when I install things, right?

No offence my friend but you must be weird. Those are usually all the same and really BORING. If you want to use the software it does not matter what they say. Most of what I am whining about here is that it is a strange place to put gameplay rules.

From the EULA:
Originally by: The EULA
Selling Items and Objects
You may not transfer, sell or auction, or buy or accept any offer to transfer, sell or auction (or offer to do any of the foregoing), any content appearing within the Game environment, including without limitation characters, character attributes, items, currency, and objects, other than via a permitted Character Transfer as described in section 3 above. You may not encourage or induce any other person to participate in such a prohibited transaction. The buying, selling or auctioning (or any attempt at doing so) of characters, character attributes, items, currency, or objects, whether through online auctions (such as ebay), newsgroups, postings on message boards or any other means is prohibited by the EULA and a violation of CCP's proprietary rights in the Game.
I bolded the really important part, because it shows you the ONLY thing you're allowed to sell outside of the game. Buying or selling any other in-game item (including currency) via a method outside of the game is a violation of the EULA and a bannable offense.
Your lack of knowledge on the subject is your own problem. Next time, read the EULA.

That's not a gameplay rule. It's a rule for subscribing to their service - the fact that their service is a game is immaterial.

EULA/ToS, what is wrong with a ROG aka Rules Of Gameplay. Does EVE want people to break the rules.
As for section 7b kit really needs to be more explicit after all when one looks out there it appears that buying ISK's is a normal process.

If you're new to MMORPGs, I can see you thinking it's a normal thing.
Other than that, common sense.

I work for an Insurance Company. You have no idea how many people whine when they will not get a payout but the conditions are in in the contract they couldn't bother to read but signed in triplicate. They seem to think that the fact they were to lazy to read it should negate what is in it.
We had a guy who we wouldn't pay when he was the victim of a gunshot.... Shot while robbing a bank... lol

Excuse me? 
It is explicit. Cutting out the various reiterations of the same activity to cover various semantic weaseleling, and the list of the in-game stuff covered by the paragraph, the EULA very clearly states that
"You may not buy any content appearing within the Game environment, including currency. The buying of currency is prohibited by the EULA and a violation of CCP's proprietary rights in the Game."
Quote:

1. Where the hell are you looking to get that impression?
2. So what? What you're seeing is entirely, thoroughly, 100% irrelevant since the EULA says otherwise.
Quote:

No. That's why there are "Terms of Use" and "User Policy" documents. What you're talking about isn't a gameplay issue, though, so it appropriately fits right in the EULA. You're just trying to construe that since it's in a place you didn't bother to read, you should be excused, which is poppycock.

MaxxOmega,
Having moved to the US from Europe I have learned to read every single detail of anything I sign just considered online gaming something different. Again I apologise for getting some people's knickers in a twist.

Umm....
Where else do you want rules to be? I mean it is basically where all the rules live. It is a rather nice home for them...lots of space, a pool, a gym, even one of those meeting rooms that elderly people always have Bridge games in.

As RMT includes assets outside the game, a section against it has to be included in the EULA as the game rules are only in regards to in-game assets. Makes sense?

I understand your point that the majority of people do not sit and read all the way through the EULA, however to the point of buying ingame currency, this is an MMORPG "online-game" and as such it should be obvious that purchasing isk with real currency is in effect pressing the "cheat" button. And being an online game cheating is nothing like it is when playing single player games (as that only effects yourself).
P.S. Asking the moderators to remove this thread is pretty lame, I have never asked for one of my threads or posts to be removed and I come out with all sorts of crap at times.

RMT is not a gameplay issue. You do not play EVE by buying illegal ISK - you play EVE by piloting your ship. This section of the EULA has to do with how you treat your Account, which belongs to CCP and is operated by you, outside the game. That is fundamentally an EULA issue and not a gameplay rule.
If you want to buy ISK, you need to buy an EVE Game Time Code (GTC) either online from a site like Shattered Crystal or in the retail boxed version of EVE. Using the EVE online site, you can convert the GTC into in-game items called PLEX's (1 GTC gives 2 PLEX's) and sell them in a station for ISK to other players. You can generally get about 600m-700m ISK depending on market conditions right now for a set of 2 PLEX's, and a GTC costs $35 online. It's much more expensive than the illegal ISK sites but unlike music piracy ( ), you can't get away with buying ISK illegally.

Actually, according to some of the spam I've seen lately, going the GTC route is actually cheaper than buying it illegally…

I accept that "this is how it goes".

Did you know that the EULA of iTunes forbids you to use the songs you download for building weapons of mass destruction or other terrorist activity?
