After the announcement of the integration of Live Gamer and the Station Exchange services, John Smedley addresses the deal and talks about what this all means for the EverQuest II players:

We were recently approached by the folks from Live Gamer. They had the desire to start a secondary market that would be sanctioned by publishers. They would only be operating in games where they had received a license to do so and in accordance with a strict set of guidelines including not purchasing from farmers, reporting suspected farmers to us and agreeing not to purchase from anyone we flagged as a farmer. We believe that over time, we can significantly cut down on farming activity industry-wide by having a legitimate secondary marketplace across multiple publishers. Live Gamer is run by very reputable people who have a vested interest in building a company that has the support of publishers.
