Lordjake Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Each day I see people selling/trading accounts on whatever world I'm playing on. They risk the security of both their items and their accounts when they choose these actions, but nevertheless, they continue to do it. When people share accounts, they risk Jagex banning the account, thus erasing all the time you've put into it. ~ But what if Jagex decided to make account sharing legal? ~ Now you could let any of your friends use and train your account, free of any possible action by Jagex. The obvious benefit would be an increased amount of training time for the account. If you have to log out( to sleep, for example), your friend on the other side of the globe could log in and continue training. When you wake up the next morning, *ta da* the account just gained 400k exp. However, you would still be taking the risk that your "friend" that you're sharing the account with isn't actually a friend. In a snap, you could lose the account, its bank, and all the time you put into it. Some people choose to take these risks, in addition to the basic illegality of it. So what I'm asking is, would you account share if Jagex allowed it? When you answer, please explain why also. I'd like to see your reasonings behind either Yes or No. There is no right answer here, I'm mostly just curious to see how you respond, and your thought behind it.

caldius Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 If I recall correctly, it wasn't always illegal to share accounts but there was always massive amounts of rants on fan site, the short lived original forums and sent to customer support explaining how someone who was account sharing would log in one day to find there password changed and all the work they had put in being taken by the other person. But would I account share? No, its my account, I like what I have acheived pretty much entirly on my own (not big on taking part of the economy).

Maleficus1055 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 No, I dont want to do all that work and then have my account stolen. Besides doing it all yourself gives you a greater feeling of accomplishment. Tumblr. Follow me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abelmisi Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Its not much of a rule anyway. Its not like Jagex is paying attention to 1million charachers' ip adresses all the time. So if you do it right...share it with a close relative :XD: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwreeTak Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I wouldn't risk my account. I have put down way to much time on my account for risking to lose it by sharing it with a friend. Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fekambard Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I wouldn't do it. Firstly, it's dangerous to share incase you never get that account back. :ohnoes: Secondly, it feels better to have gained xp and levels by yourself, more satisfying. :wink: : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flava0falcon Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Well I know people of trust and I would share my account with people I trust...I wish JaGex will make that legal :pray: . support new ghostly stuff here.I see RuneScape slowly turning into a sadistic version of WoW..signature your as this use backwards this read to enough smart were you If Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purendk Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I would never share my account, not because its risky but because, when you optain a really hard thing, like 99 herblore, you can look back and think; I did all this by my own, and not by getting help by others. < Lvl 22 Combat >Check out my Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mayjest Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 There'd have to be some major precautions in place if I do. To but it bluntly, trusting someone I've never met screams against my instincts - so I'd have to know them in real life. It could work if my brother played and moved to Canada or something... then I could beat him up at Christmas time if he stole from me... But otherwise no, never and a million times again: No! Goals to get my skills back up to a barely respectable level on the high scores: Currently going for Bone to Peaches spell. It's amazing how boring doing the same repetitive task is!

Soulthresher Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Honestly, it doesn't matter if they made account sharing legal. I wouldn't let anyone on my account, EVER. Hell, I don't let my best friend drive my car unless I'm incapasitated or something. I know tons of people who let others use their account. I've seen them get their rares stole, banned, and even sold. Why would I want someone to share the achievements that are mine anyways? Yea, many people would trust these so called "friends", but if you were smart, you wouldn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
br34d Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 never. i would never risk all that i have put into my account. i wouldn't trust my account with anybody. not my relatives, not my friends, no-one. done with runescape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairness Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I agree. It isn't the rules what make me not share my account. It is just an excuse to decapacitate noobs who try to share accs with me. You're being watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VipLink Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I've seen subjects close to this maaany times. I think the answer is quite simple. The ones who share account, already shares account regardless of the rules allow it or not. I don't think the situation would change much even if they made account sharing legal.

schmuall Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Not that I would ever share my account, but if they were going to implement this idea, it should be with some kind of master system on it. Like someone has the "master" password and someone else has a different password. And the other person could never change it, or access the bank or something like that. I fully appreciate this isn't well written, but it's hard to put what I'm trying to say into words. give F2P a penny and they want a dime; give P2P a quarter, they want 100,000 dollars, your car, house, boat, social security number, credit card numbers, drivers license, clothes on your back and everything you ever owned or interacted with ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameboypen Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I would hate things being done for me, I like it when i accomplish stuff myself. Plus I would hate to log in, in a different place then when I logged out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrington Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I would never share my account for three reasons. 1. Like you said, there's no guarantee of getting the account back. 2. That other person, even if they're trustworthy, may be using the account when I want access to it myself. 3. It would feel like cheating. However, I guess if account sharing was legal I could always let my partner play my character (if she was into gaming that is, which she isn't). Now, I'll bet there's a lot of people do that just now since Jagex couldn't possibly track such an offense (since most of these offenders would be playing from the same computer).

Dragon_lord Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Well, I wouldn't share my main, but if account sharing was legal, my clan would probably have like a clan account, and every trustworthy clan member would know its pass, and log in to train it every once in a while. That would be fun... :anxious: Pretty much what Dragon said.Thread terminated.I guess that means I'm the thread Terminator? No Tip.Iters were harmed in the making of this post.
