Account Trading

[Barkingturtle]

Has there ever been any thought given to making EQEmu emails unchangeable?

That would solve all account trading, I reckon--even that which will now occur on other message boards and whatnot. Great change and a big day for P99, but I don't think we're going far enough toward curbing the actual problem.

Other servers that use EQEmu allow account trading. Not a bad thought, but probably wouldn't solve anything anyway. People would just create a fake email for an account they intend to sell, and sell the email account with it.

Similarly how it used to be treated by Sony, account trading/selling for virtual currency/items is no longer allowed. While we cannot stop the regular account sharing between family and friends, the original owner of an account will always be considered the owner of the account. Even though we have stated our refusal to support it, we can no longer allow players to be conned into accounts, either to be scammed by account recovery, or by accounts receiving disciplinary action for past actions.

I'd also like to reiterate our stance on account violations. If you share your account information, you inherit responsibility for their actions. Should an account be used to commit a violation of the rules it will be disciplined appropriately regardless of who was playing it at the time.

Not to be a wise-ass, this is a serious question but based on your remark, trading accounts for accounts should be legal then, correct?

This would fall under sharing account credentials, which is also subject to the same treatment.

So sharing an account with a friend or some guildmates (no trade or selling involved) is also illegal now?
