Cloki, just because you can do something horrible and steal two accounts that you didn't purchase, doesn't mean that you should. You should thank him for you being able to use those accounts when you never should have been able to and give him back what is rightfully his and was never yours to begin with. It shouldn't matter that you upgraded the gear or leveled the toons. They weren't yours to do that to in the first place. You acquired the information in a shady manner. Do the right thing, let him have his characters back.
But he did offer to give them back (or in the cleric's case, PL a new cleric with epic and matching gear).

Not saying it wasn't shady to reset the passwords when the choice was made available but at least he is trying to make it right.

This is why GMs said account sales weren't supported and eventually got banned folks - no one wants to deal with this shit.

I think resetting the password using the new system reset all attached LS accounts, so the cleric/bard were collateral damage. The issue is that cloki just scooped up the accounts assuming they were abandoned. That's where he fucked up.

Didn't work for mine like that. I had to reset each one.

When I did an SMS reset on my primary EQ Emu, every single login account server's password was changed. It was not done one at a time as it was in the past.

I just tried it myself also. Didn't do it for mine. Maybe because I donated more money than you and get special privileges? Who knows. maybe a bug.

Why are people trying to make analogies for this situation? There is no need to. This is a situation that has nothing to do with houses or used cars or any of that junk. This is a situation where account trading was tollerated for a time by the staff, but never supported by the staff. Everyone that sold or traded accounts knew that they were taking all of.the risks associated with that action. They still did it, they made dumb decisions, and the staff has no obligation to settle these disputes for anyone. Live with it.

If you can get both parties to agree I don't see why the staff wouldn't allow the characters to be moved or resolve this somehow. If you can prove ownership of the email/sms attached to the characters there shouldn't be a problem if both parties agree on a solution.

I know account swapping and trading isn't allowed but this is an obvious fuck up by bardalicious with no ill intent. The mess ups happened over a long period of time stretching over policy changes. Yes, you can read the rules and say fuck off, you messed up, or you can be realistic and honor the two parties wishes.

100% in the staffs hands to make this work or not. There is no way for them to settle this correctly without some GM intervention.
