Please consider setting up accounts with two passwords.
First is the main account PW and it owns and controls the account. You only use this PW when logging into the account info page on SS.com. Second is/are alt PW(s) that allow players to share their alts with friends. Having separate PWs for each alt would allow a player to share specific alts with team mates or friends while keeping other alts private. ------------ Additional pay option: Setup a page that will allow a person other than the account owner to pay for the account. I see this only needing one of the alt names, any one of them, and they enter a secure page and make a payment... this page is private to the player making the payment and no other player can see or access it. --------------- Stepping into my flame retardant suit... |

Quote: If you want to sell subscriptions for cash or credits, the best way is for the person getting the sub to log in on the web page, go to "pay by pay pal" and save that page then email it to the person paying the sub. That person can then load that page into his browser and click on the Pay Pal subscription link and pay for it. That way no one gets anyone else's password.

But it works. And you know admins can't do anything but release C2 atm.

The problem with this method is that the owner of the account now has the player's credit card info, that subbed the account, in their PW locked account. I don't know about you BUT I don't like giving out credit card info to any one I don't have to. This could also lead to ID theft. As for when to implement these types of changes... you do it when you have the programming resources to do it... never said to "do it NOW!" |

Churchill's method is for PayPal only, and they get none of your info.

Admins have plastered the forum with "DON'T SHARE ACCOUNT INFO TO BUY SUBS" messages. They originally banned the public discussion of credit/account sales because of players who got scammed complaining to them. Cash-to-credit exchanges are totally unsupported by admins, and they've made that very clear. I'm just happy they didn't try to ban the practice outright.
Even if they added this, you'd have the typical "I paid and he didn't" scam showing up often enough, which in a credit-to-cash situation would be far more serious than credit-to-ingamestuff. They don't want that headache, and leave it to the players to deal with it themselves. If you only deal with well-known, trustworthy people, the risk should be minimal, and I'm quite sure admins are never going to add anything to support such sales anyway. Not totally related, but interesting: http://web.archive.org/web/200708080344 ... 7564144104 Shows what the outer rim outpost was like pre-ban. _________________ Dorin Nube wrote: Nipples aren't the only danger here. |
