Two questions
1. What are the rules on if a real life friend, like someone you knew well before you started playing the game, got bored of the game and wanted to give you his account no strings attached. You "say" that the reason that account sharing is wrong because of accounts getting taken back and stuff. In this situation that wouldn't happen so would that be allowed? This isn't account sharing so not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I do have a friend that plans on stopping playing and says he will give me his account as long as its legal.
According to the rules, it would still be account sharing. As soon as you give your login information to another person, provided it isnt your (minor) child, it is account sharing in the eyes of CCP. Well at least thats the way ive interpreted the EULA, rules and CCP employee responses :)
I would like to hear CCP tell me its wrong AND explain why.
they explained in blog. you friend come back, say he want his account. you don't give it to him, he petition as stolen account and the account is permabanned.
it is wrong because you put CCP in position of dealing with you and you friend's personal crap.

2. What are Cynonets?(think thats how ya spell them) and are they legal/illegal?
When I first heard the term I thought it had something to do with a network of alts place in systems to set up cyno fields so capital ships could go though space quickly and easily, but now that it has been brought up when talking about account sharing I am utterly confused.
A CynoNet is a network of alts (secondary characters / accounts), which are shared amongst a corp, alliance etc. These characters would be placed at strategical positions throughout the universe, allowing your capital fleet to "instantly" move from one end of the region / universe to the other.
So I was right.
yes you were. the account sharing part is the fact that the logins for all these alts are available to 'everyone' (not really, but enough people in each timezone)... and thus, account sharing.
