Still two days until live release and only six gold energy credit spam emails in my Star Trek Online mailbox…
Hell, I only found my mailbox today after closed beta and open beta… Considering the downtime during headstart weekend, how could anyone even GET 100k energy credits to sell?
I guess the credit crunch is over…
(Note the new standard feature “Report Spam” for all new MMOs).

I just started playing the Mabinogi EU beta this weekend and there are already four gold-selling companies in the starter village spamming their prices.
I take this as an indication of the game’s likely success. I notice I can play Vanguard these days without any danger of being gold-spammed…
Hmm I need to check my mailbox in game me thinks
I love that comment. We should create a new metric measuring up success of a game by the number of gold farmers!
There were credit spammers in open beta too. Why anyone would buy credits when there was a character wipe coming I have no idea.
The inbox for the game and the forums is shared, and I really wish that there was some way to report the spammers out of game.
Indeed, you shall know them by their enemies…
I honestly have never heard of currency spammers in an open beta… that’s just… sad.
Well, so far I have no idea of how currency dependent the game will be. Particularly when you consider the impact of whatever will be in the Cryptic store too.
