A while back i heard that soe was planning on making it so players could buy gold from soe. Now this absoulutely would ruin it for me(i DO NOT think it's a good thing, no flames here)
Did this ever happen? do they have different servers for the poor normal players like me? or am i just on crack and heard wrong? I have nothing else to do while i try to redownload the patches for the trial

I'm not sure if it was going to happen or not, but from what I heared is that they were going to do it at some point in time but they would only allow it on certain servers.
It's not a case of SoE actually selling gold themselves. They've set up a secure server for players who want to use outside services. It's called Station Exchange.
You can either have existing characters transferred there or start new ones, but they can never be moved back to regular servers.
At the same time they're going to adopt *brutal* tactics against anyone buying/selling items or gold on regular servers.
Hopefully this will end up being better all round.

By the way this is already out. I tried to get rid of an old character that I dont use anymore but I cant get it transfered over for some reason. Oh well just go on with my life. I refuse to actually play on the servers but I did want to get rid of my first character.
Bluie, where do you get that they are going to crack down on this stuff on regular servers?
If they could do that, wouldn't they have already?
I figure its business as usual on my server. Not that I care, I neither buy nor sell for out of game cash, so while it may impact me through impact on the economy, its just not a big thing to me.
I would love to see them crack down on this stuff, if only to see if it really changes the economy.

Well i guess he trusted them, as i do. In a way, just to have the exchange server in will reduce the activities on other server.
I mean, lets say you are a fisher and village A as 3000 fish eaters while village B only as 200. Wouldnt you chose to do business in Village A ?
Now yes there are syill going to be some people trying to pick at the potential of village B, but they will never be alone and in the end, they will have to share the small market and it will just give them less than if they go in Village A.
Add to that a potential risk of getting mugged by the village B gang : The alliance against seafood.
But thats a question of trust, but since they now have a monetary interest in the market ( i guess they get a cut on all trades ) i bet they will at the least make random intervention on regular server.
The problem i see now is that not enough publicity is made to make sure the interested players go on exchange servers.

I'm not Bluie... but I am blue... will that be all right?
Sony announced during the initial flurry over Station Exchange that they intended to aggressively persue outside plat sellers and root them out of the game. In the same press release (or was it an interview?), they mentioned that they had recently developed much more sophisticated tools with which to ferret out the evil doers.
If you want more detail, I can probably find a link to the original conversation... or was it a press release... oh, well... there goes another brain cell!
It was somewhere on the OS, I think a Stedman post. He actually used the word *brutal*.
Since then a lot of botters have been banned. There've been quite a few posts about it.
Part of their motivation for setting up Exchange is that previously 45% of CS time was spent dealing with issues around people feeling they'd been ripped off by plat sellers.
Anyone who comes with this type of complaint from now on, will get very tough treatment, probably insta-ban.
