Mellow Willow	Posted - 2006.03.06 21:37:00 - [9] Edited by: Mellow Willow on 06/03/2006 21:37:03 Yes, it is against the EULA.
NirvanaA	Posted - 2006.03.06 21:38:00 - [10] =( well I dont want to take that risk. Why is it legal to buy an account with ISK and not with real money and same for trading with an account from a diff game?

HippoKing	Posted - 2006.03.06 21:40:00 - [11] its not allowed to buy an account under any circumstances. to buy a character is different, but i doubt it will be allowed for currencies/trades other than ISK sigs of the 23/24/25 hijack just as well -eris yarrrr, i shall retake my sig -HippoKing Not a chance, our 1337 sig haXx0r sk1llz are too powerful! - Wrangler Ho-Ho-Hooooooo, Merry Saturday!11 - Immy Yo ho ho and a bottle of BReeEEEEeee.... - Jacques ARRRRRRchambault Stop spamming with "QFT" >:\|. - Teblin

Why is it legal to buy an account with ISK and not with real money and same for trading with an account from a diff game? Ummm... it's not... You can purchase Time Cards with ISK, but you can't purchase whole accounts with previously developed characters. And, a WoW account is worthless. Any true Eve player wouldn't trade you his character for a WoW character any day of the week. --- --- --- --- SobaKai.com

Any true Eve player wouldn't trade you his character for a WoW character any day of the week. Taking this further: 1) Sell WoW account on Ebay 2) Buy bunch of time codes from this website. 3) Establish account with EVE Online 4) Sell Time Codes in game to players, you will get ISK this way. 5) Buy character in game or forums here for ISK and let seller transfer the character to your account (they will need account log in id (NOT PASSWORD) for that) This is all legal and sanctioned by CCP (eg. both TC and character transfers are refundable if you get scammed).

Asane	Posted - 2006.03.06 21:56:00 - [14] Who would ever change an EVE account for a WoW? My new Khanid with 7k SP is worth more than a 60 tier2 WoW char

kieron	Posted - 2006.03.06 21:58:00 - [15] Any sort of trade involving an EVE account is against the EULA. The purchase or trade for an EVE character with any sort of currency or items other than in-game ISK is also against the EULA. While I would love to see someone come over from WoW, I would rather they do it the right way and not run the risk of a game ban. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

NirvanaA	Posted - 2006.03.06 22:11:00 - [17] Ok I didn't post here to get told that WoW accounts are worthless. Everyone has there own opinions and feelings. JUST BECAUSE YOU think WoW isnt worth it doesn't mean everyone else thinks the same. I talked to a man that traded his epiced out tier 1 character for a 30 mil sp character... next time do some research....
Asane	Posted - 2006.03.06 22:14:00 - [18] Edited by: Asane on 06/03/2006 22:13:54 First of all, we frown on people going against the EULA, second, yes, we all have opinions, and if most of us liked WoW, we wouldn't be here. Third, it's just a flame, chill
Noriath	Posted - 2006.03.06 22:18:00 - [19] It's possible to trade an Eve character from one account to another for a small fee, and someone might provide one in exchange for a WoW account. I think that would be legal on the Eve end of the deal.

The GoldenRatio	Posted - 2006.03.06 22:45:00 - [22] Originally by: NirvanaA Well is it? I want to get a second account or character with atleast 15 mil sp on it but im not sure if its legal to trade like that. Dont listen to anyone else, unless they are in agreement with me. Here is what you do: Use whatever non spamming method to you can to find a person who wants to make the trade you desire. I am sure that at any given point there are at least 100 people with a good amount of SP who are tired of EVE for one reason or another and you could convince to trade your WOW account for their EVE character. Have the person post in the EVE forms that he wants to sell his EVE char for 5000 isk to (your EVE name). Post there sayting you accept. Have the person use the legal character transfer method to transfer his EVE char to your new EVE account. This will cost him some USD. Give him the 5000 isk from your noob char, so that you "officially" paid 5000 isk for the EVE char. You now own a high SP character. Now, for 100% unrelated reasons, decide to quit WoW and give your WoW username and password to the person, after removing all your personal information from your wow account info. 100% legal from EVEs point of veiw. --- The GoldenRatio > All.

What if someone traded their wow account to eve gametime cards and then sold these for isk and bought char with the isk he got?
Godar Marak	Posted - 2006.03.06 23:02:00 - [24] To the OP. I think your best chance would be to actually pay an EVE player to take your WOW account. I cant think of anyone who would pay for WOW.
Aliza Snow	Posted - 2006.03.06 23:07:00 - [25] I don't play WoW, but as I understand it you cannot transfer ownership of your WoW account at all. It is against their EULA. You cannot exchange EVE accounts, but you can obtain EVE characters through legal in-game methods (ISK-for-characters). I don't think you can transfer to or from trial accounts though. I think that pretty much sums it up ?

AND NO, if you do it correctly, as I explained above, it is not against the TOS. Period. The whole point of the OPS question was to ask if it is possible to do it legally from EVEs perspective. The answer is yes. The explination is above. I read WoWs rule system for accounts and I've also found a legal way for him to transfer his account to a person, but thats a diff topic and has nothing to do with EVE. --- CCP should hire me.
