To be honest CCP's position on this is stupid, and theres no way the account should be banned.
And like DS said ... it probably won't be. CCP have the RIGHT to ban you for breaching the EULA. They don't automatically do so in every single instance; they can do whatever they feel is appropriate.

A friend of mine gave me his eve account to play a few months ago. I've dont just that. Been playing the account and making it better and have updated all info my my credit card and have been paying for months etc. NOW he claims he wants to get back into eve again, and wants the account back. So he petitioned to have CCP give it back to him. WTF? Will ccp give this account back just because he had it first? Please help.
You will lose the account.
Sounds like your "friend" is a worthless pile of dog ****. View the incident as a "learning experience".
For the record, in ANY game, if you get account from a friend, ask point blank "Am I simply "holding" this account, or is it MINE?" Get that question settled before investing in it. As for the EULA, you will lose the account.

Look at the situation as it is. Your friend has created the account with his name, date of birth, email adress etc.
Its still his account, he gave it to you to "play" with it. Now he wants it back, and when you did¦nt create an own account and transferred the character you build up to it, its your fault.
That¦s the difference between an account and a character. The character is your work, but not your property* as long its not your account. So ffs transfer it to a new account with Vmax and give the account back to your "friend".
An other possibility would be to tell your friend to give you the money back you invested into the character, this doesn¦t give you the time you needed to build your toon, but you can use it to build up another char.
Btw, I think after the mods have read through this thread, the account will be banned, so its not that important.
Kids, please read the EULA and think about what you are doing!
*the character is still the property of CCP, but you have the right to use it in EVE when its your account :)

Sell the char for isk and split it, both of you can start a new char with plenty of isk in your wallets and hopefully we will have all learned something from this. |

If someone willingly gives their account details to another person they have effectively given up all rights to that account. This is basically what I was told by GM's during a similar incident to yours.
If CCP do in fact give the account back to its original owner I would be extremely interested in their reasons why.... and more importantly want to know why they have one rule for one person and another rule for another person when both instances are pretty much identical (from what I've read).

I honestly think CCP could just ban the account if it was given away after account giving/sharing was made against the EULA.
That way, you two don't have to risk your friendship over a friggin game, and CCP can enforce their rules.
