Sell / Buy Runescape Accounts

[le harry]

Hey,

I know the official stance on this is NO BUYING / SELLING RUNESCAPE ACCOUNTS, but what is the difference between selling 10mil worth of Thrones to someone, by putting trust into them, then how does that differ from buying a runescape account :P

Sure you can scam them with recov's etc, but you can also scam in any other trust-required trade + if the deal looks dodgy then don't do it? Maybe you should have to go through special precautions or something idk :8. Anyways, wanted a second opinion, I think this would be very helpful for some users ;).

My two cents.

Aight. :)

[---MAD---]

You are allowed to buy / sell runescape accounts.

[le harry]

Over the forums I mean?

[---MAD---]

Over the forums I mean?
Yes, thats allowed, it wasn't allowed a few months ago though.

[Soy]

You are allowed to buy / sell runescape accounts.
You are?? Since when was this allowed:S

[Cwmbran]

You are?? Since when was this allowed:S
Yes, please do explain. :)

[---MAD---]

You are?? Since when was this allowed:S
It has been allowed for a while. I just checked the "specific forum rules" in the runescape forum and it seems it wasnt removed from that list of rules, it has been removed now though :).

[Seren]

You are allowed to buy / sell runescape accounts.
thanks for telling us :rolleyes:.

[le harry]

OHHH, so now you tell me? Notify staff? Many people are getting warnings / infractions for doing it from MODS :S.

[:Jamie]

Yeh thanks for letting us know..

[Hxf Santa]

RAS
----------
Since it's aloud now you should make a section for it.
----------
anyone agree?

[Callum.]

yea, seeing as a lot of people are selling & buying, it's harder to keep a thread about buying thrones at the top.

[Jackk]

I like this idea ;)

[Hxf Santa]

that's true :)

[Mr.Sam]

There is a flood of them because people suddenly know they can trade them..

[Hxf Santa]

i know. lol

[:Jamie]

There is a flood of them because people suddenly know they can trade them..

I don't think its needed.

[Hxf Santa]

but what happens when people want to buy t's etc

[:Jamie]

Then they can post in the rune trading section :S

[Soy]

yeh there should be a sub forum under trading :D that would be awesome

[Seren]

It'll die down soon.

[Hxf Santa]

what the account selling?

[Seren]

No, the bull racing.

[News-Reporter]

Why Not??????????????????????????????????

[:Jamie]

gotta agree slightly. maybe it is allowed?

[News-Reporter]

Maybe "Waits For Answer"

[Seren]

Same thing can be said about all internet games..

[News-Reporter]

Yeh Lol There Is No Differance

[Smoshi]

Runescape isn't a rependable company, something like that, I forgot what its called lol

[Soy]

Why has Habbox suddenly allowed the trading of runescape accounts? Doesn't Habbox have any respect for the rules that Jagex had set?

Runescape acc's are now allowed to be traded ON HABBOX FORUM but why arn't habbo accounts allowed to be traded? because it is against the habbo way.

BUT WAIT A SECOUND!

Its also against the runescape way. As trading runescape accounts is not allowed. [Rule 6 that jagex has set]

It is a rule that you cannot trade accounts for runescape money.
So if runescape rules are allowed to be broken does that mean that the habbo rules are allowed to be broken?
What kind of example are you setting habbox....


~Capades

PS: Don't bother saying things like "It's just pixels" or "Get a life" its pointless and immature ~ I know that alot of people will disagree with this but it's true

[News-Reporter]

I Think Selling Habbo Accounts Should Be Allowed

[Soy]

I Think Selling Habbo Accounts Should Be Allowed
Well if runescape accounts are then i think habbo accounts should be aswel...

[sierk1]

First of all trading Habbo accounts is technically not possible, because the original owner can always get the account back after the trade, using the details that were entered when the account was first registered.

Secondly we are a Habbo fansite, and therefore we choose to follow the Habbo rules (as long as we think they are reasonable). And it is against the Habbo rules to trade accounts (which is reasonable, because of my first point).

Thirdly we have nothing to do with Runescape, I don't see why we wouldn't allow people to trade Runescape accounts, if that is what people want. Clearly is it people's own responsibility not to get scammed, but I assume anybody who gets involved in trading Runescape accounts is aware of the risks.

I Think Your Wrong

[sierk1]

We have nothing to do with Runescape, and I don't see why we would follow there rules, unless there is a good reason for it.

Does anybody know what the reason is that Runescape doesn't want you to trade accounts?

[Soy]

I think its because they don't want people cheating on the game? Buying a higher level account on runescape is basicly cheating your way through the game. Also this applys that if you scam someone you also are cheating your way through the game

So i can think of 2 reasons

[sierk1]

Maybe we should wait a while, and then if still a lot of people want it we can add an extra (sub)forum.

[Hxf Santa]

woah, he replied to me

tbh i agree with that,

[Binary-Finary]

Ok now im sure this has been posted about 1mill times but do habbox now allow u to sell accounts on here?

and isnt selling accounts for habbo/rs cash just the same as rule 12?

thanks! :)

[Axel]

This isn't runescape.com, so who cares.

[Binary-Finary]

yeah but surley if you are caught buying/selling a account you will get banned?

it doesnt make sense?

[---MAD---]

yeah but surley if you are caught buying/selling a account you will get banned?

We are not an rs fansite so we dont have to abide by the rules they set for their players. Its up to you (the players) to follow the rules.

[Charles]

yeah but surley if you are caught buying/selling a account you will get banned?

it doesnt make sense?

If you get caught by Runescape, then yeah. You'll probably get banned. But I don't know when this rule on Habbox began allowing people to sell accounts.

[Binary-Finary]

ok so you can now buy/sell rs accounts BUT at your own risk of being caught?

[TheGayOne]

ok so you can now buy/sell rs accounts BUT at your own risk of being caught?

obviously at our own risk?

[today]

ok so you can now buy/sell rs accounts BUT at your own risk of being caught?
yes your very clever.

[Binary-Finary]

ok in that case ill take advantage, ty peeps

[Binary-Finary]

ok in that case ill take advantage! ty guys

[---MAD---]

ok so you can now buy/sell rs accounts BUT at your own risk of being caught?
Yes, thats correct :).

[le harry]

Who cares? How's it affecting you?

[le harry]

Agreed with what Sierk said.

[Blue]

what do you have to gain through selling a habbo account, at least with runescape you have levels etc. but with habbo, all you have is a name

[le harry]

+ A bad reputation..

[Leprachaun--X]

I think that being HABBOx it deffinately will never allow the trading of Habbo accounts but will allow Runscape accounts as long as it isn't for Habbo items.

Its ok for them to allow this but its not their fault if you get scammed.

Simple. Dont use it.

[:Jamie]

Why have a runescape forum if its just gonna all be dedicated to habbo.

[Soy]

I don't think you people have read the first post properly...
It's not about how good the game is and what the differences are with the accounts its just the principal of why Habbox has decided to brake a rule that Jagex seems is important

Now when people are buying higher level accounts they are cheating through the game by braking a serious rule

[Leprachaun--X]

You dont seem to have read sirek1's post.

Habbox are a Habbo fansite. If there was some incident where Jagex asked Habbox to cease doing this im sure they would. But they are not actually offrering accounts to their members they are merely letting members exchange accounts which they would probibly otherwise do via PM.

[Axel]

It's a Habbo fansite, not Runescape. They want to follow the Habbo way, but not the Runescape rules. Simple as.

[Seren]

I think that letting us buy/sell Runescape accounts was a terrible idea, as I said to Sierk, it's just going to increase the amount of scamming on the forum.


Because it gives you an unfair advantage on everyone else.

Seem to remember you sold your old acc jake, hypocrit?

[Seren]

I've sold many, yes, well done. 10 points for you.

Good point. :P

[TheGayOne]

So why come on this thread saying that it gives an unfair advantage etc when you yourself do what you are saying shouldnt happen here?


10 points to you to, dont try n make yaself look good , dont suit you

[:Jamie]

Just because he trades his account doesnt mean he likes the idea..I get his point.

[TheGayOne]

Just because he trades his account doesnt mean he likes the idea..I get his point.

Well then he is a hypocrit, he wants himself to be allowed to sell accoutns but he doesnt agree that other people should be able to sell theirs?

[le harry]

Good Point Bash :)

As long as I get my account before the rule gets abolished im happy :P

[Hab4Life]

Does this mean ppl can sell their items on runescape over paypal

[Kyle™]

Who cares if this is a Habbo forum?

If my forum was about people scamming the government, i wouldn't make a rule saying you can't scam the government but go scam whoever else you like on the forum. If you show respect to Habbo then show some respect to the owner of RuneScape and don't be immature kids. Change the rules now. Or you will prove how childish and immature you really are.

[sierk1]

We still don't allow scamming, as far as I know it's possible to trade RuneScape accounts without scamming each other?
In general I am of the opinion that just because something can be used in a wrong way, it doesn't mean it should be automatically forbidden. That is what I would call childish, because it means you treat people like little kids that are not capable of deciding for themself what is safe and what is not, and you just forbit it all together. I think it's better and more respectful to treat our members as sensible people, who are capable of deciding for themself if a trade is worth the risk or not.

The same applies for runescape accounts. You can easily get your old account back by supplying enough evidence that the account used to be yours. You only have to tell them your old passwords and old recovery questions (if you had them) and some other information that proves the account was yours and they'll give you the new password or lock the account. I know a few people who have already been scammed.

But I agree with the last bit, people who trade their accounts should be aware of the risks, I've made a stickied thread to warn them too. So if they get scammed it's their own fault.
It's the same with trading runescape for habbo. :)
