    Default Tis the season

    Just a note of warning earlier this evening I logged into my server to find several mails. Apparently a player was selling my account on WC and scammed several for 30 each. Everyone espeicially new players need to be cautious of anyone selling an account in World Chat as of course it is against Evony's TOS. If its not the actual account holder always contact that person first before giving anyone your money. This player was just a civilian which tells me they logged in made an account, picked a name at random out of stats just to make a quick buck. Tis the season for those that do to this sort of thing.

    I feel most sorry for the ones scammed and hope they are able to recover their funds.

    Happy Holidays to everyone.

    i play NA21 and i have seen the same thing in world chat.....someone trying to sell an account, and it fits the description you just mentioned.

    I also advise anybody reading this to pass the word on to your alliance and other friends throughout the game.

    I also advise evony to start to monitor world chat properly....words like selling, buy, account, HH in the same sentence should be red flagged and the player investigated.

    Anyone who buys the account is just as bad as the person selling it. No sympathy here...

    agree with you up to a point.

    but this is a scam and as with any scam there is always a victim, and I suspect in this case the victims will mostly be new players that have no clue whats happening. if this truly is the case then can you see these players (potential coiners) hanging around on a game that allows such scams to take place? i think not, they will go find something else to play and evony will be a little bit more out of pocket due to these people that make a living off evonys product.

    anyone that parts with cash before actually getting access to an acc is just plain dumb, im not gonna say i have bought accs because that is against the rules but i have a "friend" that did and he always logged in first for a few mins to check the acc over. With the security codes theres very little damage you can do to an acc in a few mins and its not unreasonable to want to see what your buying before you hand cash over.
