Ban on Public Account Selling

[thecursed]

Auctioning accounts sure has become a trend in the past week or so...

I agree. I think this is one of the signs of the apocalypse, no?

Well, the word "Ragnarok" does mean end of the world, no? We're just living up to the name of the game, that's all.

not end of the world >_>

In Norse mythology, Ragnar?k ("final destiny of the gods") is a series of future events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, T?r, Freyr, Heimdall, and the j?tunn Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water. Afterward, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and reborn gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors. Ragnar?k is an important event in the Norse canon, and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory.

IMHO nothing "morally wrong" with account selling nor is it similar to botting type of unfairness at all, but I personally feel that it does encourage people to leave and really give them an incentive to do so...

fact : sudden peak at players leaving
question : why?

@Rankin: I like this one better: (Norse Myth.) The so-called "Twilight of the Gods" (called in German G?tterd?mmerung), the final destruction of the world in the great conflict between the ?sir (gods) on the one hand, and on the other, the giants and the powers of Hel under the leadership of Loki (who is escaped from bondage).


Hiroishime: I think everyone but perhaps??2 particular individuals know why, so let's leave it at that.

But Ragnarok is also the recreation of the world :O

...lol bondage.

While I don't like it...it does make sense. I mean if I person works really hard to get something, should they not be able to get something for that that could be used in a different area? In this case, real life. While I may not like people doing that, the truth is that indeed more is not being put into the game, it's simply being moved to another person.

Also true is that new person will not have the same amount of respect of the person who actually earned and worked for that account/characters.

While I may not like it myself, I don't think that it should be banned..however I do feel that some limits on it should be set..I'm just not sure how feasible that is or what they should be, if truly anything at all.

I personally think that if it was legal the first five years of the server....to just change it now when people are actually doing it just bugs my "Reactionary Rule Change" pet peeve.
