Account Trading

[Ravager]

Just be like me and don't have any friends. Then you don't have to worry about what they're doing with your stuff.

Selling accounts is banned. Don't overthink this, guys. Don't sell accounts, and don't worry.

Just seems super easy for someone to do the deal somewhere other than this forum. If someone can give away their account, then I don't see how they can prove that person A isn't just giving their account to their good friend person B, and person B isn't just giving their good friend person A a large sum of plat.

Basically, just keep it off the forums and dont complain to the GM's if something does happen. You take all the risk and so does the other person. Give your account away if you want, dont post about it on the forums. Account trading and selling for in game currency was always against the rules, but back ally trades is classic as shit.

It is. The change in policy just closes any possible appeal for people to say "but soandso did this, not me!" If you get scammed/banned/outted/etc its entirely and only your fault for doing so. No appeals, no sorting through details. Greatly simplifies things from a CSR point of view and as a server policy it lightens the operators liability and responsibility.

I hope we see some bannings for this soon, to further discourage people from account trading.

Why was the account holding the character Mythoxxus unbanned?

Mythoxxus was originally banned after being traded from his original owner to a new owner who was involved in RMT activity (platlord).

According to your rules, then and now, account owners take responsibility for the actions of past-owners.

However the new Mythoxxus paid platlord or one of his cronies for a banned account (who would do this unless they already had knowledge that it would be unbanned?). Once the new Mythoxxus took over the account, some unknown GM unbanned the account and Mythoxxus is now currently playing on the server.

Here are some SS's of some evidence:

FWIW: the new Mythoxxus seems like a very decent guy. I weighed for a long time whether or not I should post this, not only because he is a good guy but because I am sticking my neck out as well. However I do not like double standards, especially when they are not really known to the community. I think we deserve an answer as to why this was allowed to happen. Thanks guys.

Platlord never had access to Mythoxxus, it was Stabbityjoe who stole gear/plat from Platlord and equipped Mythoxxus with it, hence why it got banned. I was the original owner, and out of the good graces of Ephi/Sirken I was able to get it back as long as Stabbityjoe no longer had the ability to log into the account. Also this happened weeks prior to any ruling on account trading or selling.

Edit: As I said, I had prior knowledge that it could possibly be unbanned, and I went through the proper channels (petition/pm/patience) to do so. It was ultimately the kindness of the staff to +1 the pop and give me the opportunity to play here again.
