Ok, in doing this, does his account have to be active?

This way I could buy a new account and transfer his character to mine.. (yes, it costs more, and it's a waste of a perfectly good account.) with the help of CPP, we could just EASE this process by simply letting me change the name.. on the account and maybe pay them the same amount it would cost to go through the 10 step process.

So,

Option 1:

Change Name, Address, Credit Card on 1 account

Option 2:

Activate New Account, Maybe possibly have to reactivate his account, since it's currently "unsubbed", then Pay for Character Transfer from his account to my new account.

Option 1 total cost: 20(first month)

Option 2 Total Cost: 20(transfer)+20(first month)


But if they let me break the rules, with their permission, then they would have to let every tom dink and jane break the same rules.... and well, I'm nothing special.

I'll Take Option 2 for 40 dollars, Alex.

Question: Are you intending to dual box with both accounts? If so then transferring the character to your account may not be the best way to go.

Well...




If you use time cards, how would CCP know who's really using the account?




Hmm?

Infraction of this rule is done at your own risk.

This sounds awfully close to "just go for it" in Dev Speak.

However, I did get banned from the game for doing essentially this, so yes, at your own risk. Happened to me because this guy (he deserved it so bad for all the smack he did, too) gave me his account password after I made a new character to infiltrate his corp as a "noob". Having heard of all the legal and condoned corp theft done in Eve I didn't even think for a second that I was severely breaking the rules by logging on to his account and emptying his hangers/corp wallet/etc.

In my case it was because I did mean things to another player. In your case I don't think anybody would know or care if you took the easier, cheaper, route.

That said, I do sorely wish I had my old character back. 15ish million skill points completely wasted. This was in '06, though, so 15 mil was a little more respectable. Any charitable devs can feel free to unban me at any time though. Just saying. Viance.
Cough. ♥

Hi Trig Onami,

What you are trying to do is against the Terms of service . According to the TOS # 22, "You may not share your account password with anyone. Infraction of this rule is done at your own risk. Further information on account transfers can be found in the EULA ".

---

In other words CCP wants their $20 for the account transfer OR ELSE

---

They want their $20, which has to be done via CC or similar, so they can TRACE what happens to an account. It's the reason why char transfers can't be paid for with time cards, paypal or the like. And ofcourse, a company wanting to make cash on their product clearly is a nasty form of capitalism.

well i don't want to break rules.

I will BUY my OWN second account, and then MAKE MY BROTHER PAY TO RESUB(waste of money) his account for 15 seconds at a cost of 20 dollars, then PAY yet another 20 dollars to transfer his character onto my second account.

Then he will Cancel his account, and you'll never hear from him again.. If CCP was generous, they would allow me to take his character, and insert it into my SECOND ACCOUNT, which is bought LEGIT, for half the cost I'm gonna pay here.

I mean seriously resubbing for 15 seconds for 20 dollars is in my opinion, a scam. That's what I'm trying to convey here. Not the fact that I have to buy my own second account, and pay the transfer fee. Just the RESUB part. that i want free. Out of the goodness of their hearts.. It would be nice if they understood my intentions.. and not jump to the conclusion that I want to break the rules.


EDIT: I read the EULA and looks like my brother has to pay to resub, because an inactive account is impossible to do anything with other than re-activate. I'll wait until I have more money, and then I'll reimburse him the entire cost he has to pay. And yes HE will be the one transfering his character to me. I will not be a broker in this transaction. Just want CCP to know it would be better if they didn't require my brother to resub. Anyway.. rules are rules.. My brother will contact you in a week or so to resub and stuff.

And for the record, no, I don't know his password. And I don't intend to use his account. What I wanted was to see if it was possible to change account info, so that it's MY OWN information in there instead of his.. but clearly, that's against the rules as well.

It's all about the benjamins, you know.. And using time cards on someone else's account is breaking the rules.. And I don't play that.

Haha, just activate his account and dual box with it I would say. But you told them you wanted to do that. If you had said nothing, CCP would never have known. Now you'll get the bancannon if you do.
