Recently I was taking a look at the cost of advertising on otservlist and realized that they have a measure to protect against Paypal chargebacks and that's by requiring photo identification of everyone that wants to make a purchase of their gold currency.
The difference between OTServlist and OTs is that OTServlist can actually legally CHARGE for a service that you pay for, rather than you're DONATING to an Open Tibia server, sort of like it's charity. Have you guys seen OTs take any effective and efficient measures to combating the fraud that many OT players take part in?
I have the ability to go as far as dealing with my lawyer to write up a legally-binding agreement that I could present to paypal for all donations. But even then there's the legality that you can't really legally bind a person to a "DONATION" they've made (under most U.S. and international laws), and if an OT developer was to try and legally make donating to their server more-so a purchase of services, then they could find themselves on the receiving end of a lawsuit from Cipsoft.
