Title: Changing Passwords On Another's Account Allowed?
Post by: Mooncalf on April 02, 2008, 12:02:28 am

Ok i have a rather... delicate question... regarding password changes on your own account and those of others. To illustrate my question I will need to first tell my story...

My wife and I first started ARO in September of 2007. Somewhere along the line we decided that my wife would be the "Goddess of Fertility" on this server and set an unbreakable record for marriages/adoptions. At first everything went well. But then the Anima website went down as some of you may remember, and it was impossible to make new accounts. I was at a loss for what to do, until my wife revealed that, upon starting ARO she had made a large number of accounts, including two male ones, while I had also secretly made a female account, which I never used. So we were able to share those accounts, leveling more chars to 70 to marry and adopt more kids. I leveled the male characters on my wife's account, while she leveled the female characters on mine. Around that point we also started sharing the passwords to all of our accounts.

In any case, after 11 marriages and 11 adoptions we finally divorced. It was an ugly break-up, more fit for the Ranters' section than here, and the reasons for it are irrelevant anyway. We changed all the passwords on our accounts, except for the three accounts, two male and one female that we cross-shared. I didnt care at the time anyway and didnt even bother to check on those accounts since I never used the chars on them.

Well in any case, I checked on those accounts recently and found that though the passwords on the two male accounts were the same, my wife had changed the password on the female account, which had been created with my e-mail address. Now my question is this, is this allowed? I ask, not because I care or wish to get my ex in trouble, but because I decided I want to keep the two male accounts. There are three sins, two rogues and one supernovice there all at level 70, all of which I leveled myself, and which could come in handy. But, I'm wary of changing the passwords on those accounts because they were created with my ex-wife's e-mail address.

Well you guys share account, so I don't think it's against the rules. =/

But to be honest if there only lvl 70 chars, I wouldn't even care anyway.

Lulz my ex-wife used her bro's gears while I was left to fend for myself. It might seem easy to level a char to 70 when you're pro, but when you're just starting out it can seem quite formidable - that's why most of the chars are thief class for the extra flee and double attack. And keep in mind that while simultaneously trying to make moneh for marriages, and gears, and gifts for the wife I also had to try to save every penny I could to buy Christmas gifts for my family and friends so that we wouldnt be left out in the cold on Christmas eve... I Guess what I'm saying is those characters have a sentimental value... I dont want them to be deleted /sob

Sorry to post again, but I still havent been able to get a straight answer and its bugging me. The rules are rather ambiguous on this topic, and it would be nice if a GM or persun of authority could clarify the matter for me.

I really dont want to lose those chars - they have sentimental value even if they are of low level - but I dont want to get in trouble either. So that is why I would like to make sure I am following the spirit of the letter of the law before I proceed.

What counts as "ownership" of an account? In this case, I was given an account with three empty slots and leveled three characters to 70 on it. So who does this account belong to - me, as I was the only person who worked on it, or the person who's e-mail address it is registered to?

*bump*

Yes, I am comitting the dual sins of bumping an old thread and double posting at the same time - but only because I have still not recieved a satisfactory answer to my question, and its better than making a new thread. More importantly, this thread brings people's attention to the story of me, which is possibly the greatest story ever told.

I'd say if you share your password, then it's your fault if you lose the account. Pro-tip: Change the Email address first.
