I wrote this but in order not to derail a thread figured I'd post it here.
Original thread:

Selling accounts really doesn't work.. technically if the purchaser already has 1 account, and he buys your accounts, he now has 5.. and thats a rule violation. :( items always sell faster than accounts.
Not true from past experience. I've purchased some accounts along the way and never have had any issues whatsoever. The rules may say what they say but I've always thought the two going against each other made no sense and I never had any issues.. especially since for a stint I know of a few people who just used VPN to create multiple extra accounts and since they always used VPN there accounts were all tied to each other on the spider web that linked them it was either never looked into or cared about since dan probably didn't want to step on anyone's toes and accidently delete an account he wasn't sure of.

Quick edit: I also wanted to bring up how many times I've misspelled shit and because my ip isn't static I've accidently created empty accounts or times i thought I was logging into other servers and using those credentials and ended up using them here and made an empty accidental account.
If we include those im sure everyone's sitting on 10+ accounts if they make mistakes like me.

That being said perhaps ill be talked to about the excessive accounts I have over the limit and if asked ill give the info to Dan to delete them or whatever but I purchased my first accounts roughly 4 months after I got on this server for real money and ive used them on and off since I started and in all of the time never had a problem. That being said, I always qnd this can be checked or proven hopefully if needs be i never once gathered an item or kept an item that dan had set to drop in pack for simply logging in because of an event or holiday.. i wasn't going to forfeit my extra accounts or even get banned on my mains etc over something stupid as a holiday deco drop.

I've stated in the past and possibly searchable in discord that ive purchased account's.
Edit: not that It matters but just to show how unmonitored things are i went and found the receipt to the player I purchased the accounts from and it was Nov 14, 2017

Sorry to derail the thread but I just wanted to bring this to light as I've always laughed at the rule for a limit on accounts but not houses, a rule that you can buy accounts but there is a rule on how many you can have. It could be where dan says hey do what ya want and if you overstep the rule you'll be in trouble but im openly posting ive been in breach of one rule but not another since I started like 4 years ago or some shit and jts never been an issue.

There are a few rules ive never understood or actions heritage has taken that i feel dont make sense together and this has always been one so i felt id bring it up even at cost of losing some extra accounte ive purchased.

The purpose of an account limit is mostly in regards to per IP rewards. For this reason, the rule will always be players can collect up to 4x of these items.

Accounts accidentally get created, players create accounts, forget and return years later, got it. Users let their friends log onto their accounts and vice versa and it then also links them by IPs. It is confusing for us on this end as well most times. We do go through and remove empty accounts or accounts over limits with limited log in time recorded. Otherwise, their risk to Heritage is quite low since we have unlimited housing and no standard UO Veteran Reward Program.

The rules about accounts as always stated has been:

Accounts
  • Do not exceed the 4 account limit.
    • This is not per player; if multiple people play from the same household then the total number of accounts must never exceed 4. Accounts linked by IP, over the limit risk being removed by staff.
  • Never share your Heritage account information.
    • It is against the rules to sell or give away your UO Heritage account. This is to protect original account owners. We determine the original account owner to be whoever is linked to these accounts, by IP addresses and region.
  • For issues/questions regarding your account please send Dan a private message on these forums https://trueuo.com/index.php?conversations/add

Then later when we "sorta" addressed RMT it went here:

Real-Money Trading (RMT)
  • TrueUO and Heritage do not encourage nor discourage RMT. That being said any RMT is a "Buyer BEWARE" situation.
  • Staff will NEVER get involved or mediate RMT in any way shape or form.
  • TrueUO and Heritage are not responsible for losses sustained and you agree to this clause each time you access TrueUO.com or the Heritage shard.
  • It is against the rules to sell or give away your Heritage account. This is to protect original account owners. We determine the original account owner to be whoever is linked to accounts, by IP addresses and geographical location.

Never would we get involved in accounts and all that back and forth.

The rules have always stated you could not sell or give away your accounts, specifically. This is to protect all account owners. We determine account owners to be their original creators. It is impossible for us to keep track of it any other way.
