ISK SELLER SYNDICATE TERMINATED
reported by: GM Arkanon | 2005.06.24 11:18:18
Today, the EVE GM team moved against the single biggest ISK
selling operation uncovered since the launch of EVE Online, quite simply
a virtual crime syndicate, dealing in vast sums of ISK. Over 80
accounts were involved, all active sellers and providers of ISK and all
were permanently banned from our server.
We'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that online sales
of ingame items are a EULA violation, one that carries with it an instant
and permanent ban. Anyone thinking of using Ebay or other online
auction sites to sell items or accounts for real currency would do well
to consider that although we may not catch everyone all the time, we
still catch and ban ebayers every day. Sellers risk losing their
accounts and their prepaid subscription fees, not to mention feeling like
there's a GM looking over their shoulders for the rest of their lives.
EULA, section 7B:
"You may not transfer, sell or auction, or buy or accept any offer to
transfer, sell or auction (or offer to do any of the foregoing), any
content appearing within the Game environment, including without
limitation characters, character attributes, items, currency, and objects,
other than via a permitted Character Transfer as described in section 3
above. You may not encourage or induce any other person to
participate in such a prohibited transaction. The buying, selling or
auctioning (or any attempt at doing so) of characters, character
attributes, items, currency, or objects, whether through online auctions
(such as ebay), newsgroups, postings on message boards or any other
means is prohibited by the EULA and a violation of CCP's proprietary
rights in the Game."
