i also sold my old account and used all the naq i made from that plus the naq i got from black market from the game i upgraded some things:

rasied covert level to 35
raised ms wepons volleys a little bit
built a 4.6trill(not exact) def
built a 7trill somthing covert

also made pms to my friend whereub asking him if i can mass some1 and asking if i can not pay my war chest this week and pay double next week

the email address of the guy i sold my last account to is godsmackfan2001@hotmail.com
his forum name is tattooedkrypt

Chances are if you do any kind of legal action, it will cost you 10x's as much more than you paided for the account. So its worthless to do that for a free online game.

Also, you maybe could have saved your old account instead of selling it.

Edit: Also, Why buy a account with someone with no trade feedback thread????? And How long have you known this player????????? Putting trust into someone like that is highly risky.

Johnny Sunlight has only 30 posts and forum account made in less than 25 days.......That enough should have brought yourself to ask some questions and ask members of TL about him since he was in the alliance for a little while.

This is very strange and I don't know how he managed to get back into the account after you changed the email and password, assuming it is the previous owner. There is enough proof that you bought the account so i'm sure the admins will get it back to you.

Here is some more info about Johnny Sunlight. It seems there is infact something dodgy about him. A few hours after selling his account to Kynell he bought an ex-TÅ account in a deal. I spoke to him, but he used a different email address when he spoke to me on MSN. Here is the info I have been able to dig up thus far.

Alternative names:
Benedictus

New Ingame ID : 23905
(looks like this account has had all the lifers removed, ascended and lost a lot of UU since )

Known MSNs:

johnny_sunlight@live.co.uk - also paypal address

email... admin urgent addie

urgent@StarGateWars.com

esp. if the pass was all digits, that would be easy for a basic crypto-program to hack.

Maybe it me, but I can't see any evidence whatsoever to suggest it was the seller that hacked the account...had you changed all the details like you suggest you did, then seems he'd have as much chance as anyone else of hacking back in.

looks like yr assumption isnt based in any fact. the fact u changed the acc. details make u responsible of the account. being hacked is one thing and pointing to the seller is another thing.
how can u prove that the seller did hacked u?

based on the logic here it could be u trying to reclaim $ or the account as much as it could be a hacker.

the only thing that could happen is the admin check for multie , and if proven anything u might get smth back for xmas.

in my opinion u can only report of being hacked so admin can check it and this is you only hope to get yr account back. giving a name to the hacker needs proves, u can only show that u did a trade and thats all.

i hope u get yr account back as for the money they are gone and lost , bother asmuch as u want wit pp but u cant get anything back legaly., because u just proved here that the trade went ok.

well Lilith of The Confed was able to get her account back, a couple of years after it was hacked (minus the resources) so hopefully all is not lost..

Admin, can see where the last logins came from and if they are same as seller or not.

i hope so its just ruined the game for me i bought my first account everfor real $ and i get scamed first time

i have a quick question, when you sold you old account, did you change the details at all or were they the same details as the newly acquired?

Probably the same.

IF YOU TRADE FOR REAL CURRENCY, AND GET SCAMMED OR DONT GET WHAT YOU THOUGHT YOU SHOULD, WE CANNOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP YOU, so do not even ask...The answer is "Sorry. We cannot help you. You just lost your money."

I'd do what FF said to at least try, but don't expect much.

Yes but, he also bought ingame resources with money, which go directly to ADMIN, in which case its in admins best interests to get the account back to the owner, and as admin can check the account to verify he bought resources from admin.

If you even remotely follow the market you'll know that lots of highly ascended accounts are going for $200 or sometimes even less.
