Accounts' status

[Ivory Norwind]

If i buy a new account how can to know if it's "clean"?
Without jail, warning and so on?
Also for my accounts, i have a more 120 months account. I don't remember is sometimes i was in jail ( sure one time many years ago )
Is there a way to know the status of one's own account?
Thanks

not sure on checking status of your own account. good question

on buying accounts, the only way to get a clear account is to use EA's account transfer program, uo.com > Acct Managment > Transfer Program. That clears any and all marks on the account.

I can't because i would to call in America
But i'd like to know for my own accounts. In the site manage account there's nothing, and nothing between the information of the account....

Some answer?

Ivory, based on this question and answer in the official Knowledgebase, it looks like EA has a policy against giving players this type of information about their own account:

http://support.ea.com/cgi-bin/ea.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=677.


P.S. It's still just Saturday morning in North America. Most of us are in a time zone six to nine hours behind you, Ivory.

The First owner of the account you want to buy can't reclaim it after you have pay 30 Fully day charge in the account. This rule is in the FAQ EA Account policy.

You can be scammed only for the 30 first days, Transfer EA solution or not is the same rule. Only after you have pay the first 30 days and its cool for you !

PS : For the transfer EA account solution, you need to phone and send a FAX to EA with all your coord etc, and this solution take 1 at 2 weeks...

Ahh now here's a thing...

According to EA's website they will only divulge information if a court orders it or for a criminal investigation. Ok fair enough in SOME countries...

Now EA is a registered company in the UK and trades here... Now under the Data Protection Act, if a company within the UK is ordered by a 'person' to give them a copy of ALL information held within thier systems (Be it computerised, paper or images) then that company is held accountable by law to do so (For a small fee which is normally a £1 or some simular amount). If they refuse to do so or fail to comply with said order from persons seeking thier personal information, they are breaking the DPA and thus liable to be sued.

I dont know where your located Ivory but if your country has simular data protection laws and EA is a registered company in your country then they HAVE to give you that data upon request. Companies often try to tell you that thier Terms of Service is binding etc, but that dosnt mean it surpasses the law. If the law says you can do something, then it dosnt matter a bean what the Terms of Service says... Your covered by law.

So in short, if you have a data protection law in your country then you can request the information from EA and they are liable if they refuse.

Hope that helps a little.

I think that accounts are cleared of any marks upon purchase and usage of expansion. I cannot verify this, but perhaps a dev. could.

It's a fine thing
Thanks, Restroom Cowboy. I hope is it true
But where i can see it' if it's really true? I think that i have to write to a dev.

Tina small, you have all the reason but normally i've been playing on Europa forums and sometime i forgive that when it's time to work for me, for many other person it's time to sleep. Sorry again.

Salivern_Diago, i'll try to go to EA and i hope to resolve my problems.

Thanks to all

Accounts are only cleared of all previous marks IF you use the official 'Account Transfer program', it's the only way.

Just taking over an account and paying the monthly fee to play does NOT clear any previous marks.

Ivory i am a keepper of memories! I can tell you that you have 2 marks on your current account due to unattended macroing. I remember you making a post about it.

No, it's not for the account of Ivory.
I have 5 accounts but normally i post as Ivory also if it is for another account of mine.
I have 1 mark for afk, but not in the account of Ivory ( that you know, i've posted very angry because i've seen the GM, but i've crashed and my internet connection was back about after 1 hour)
So i must know the status of all my accounts
I have 2 marks in the forum ( i have to say all that i think, always)
But i don't remember other mark in all accounts.
But i want to be sure
How can i do?

 

[Ezekiel Zane]

Ivory, you may as well just stop worrying about it. There's no way to find out how many marks an account has.

I'd like to know, out of curiosity, about one of my accounts. I took one over many years ago and couldn't use the account transfer process because the guy I bought it from wasn't the original owner either. Bottom line is, they will not tell you.

If you really want to clear it, then find someone to do the official transfer with and then transfer it back either officially or unofficially.

'Account Transfer program' is for account that i buy. But for my accounts?
Accounts 8, 9 years ? Memory lack, sometimes
And the 'Account Transfer program' needs a call in america. 2 months of job ( i mean money), for me, in Italy? Calls are very very expensive
And me, that i don't understand spoken english?
Ultima online is a play for all languages, also if italian is not supported. What can i do, close my accounts?
Tina Smalll, i've understand. But in many years i can make some mistakes that i don't remember.
What have i do?
No, i don't like this. If i can't know the status of my accounts i really became very angry

 

[wanderer1origin]

could just not cheat then have no worries LOL!!!!!!!!!!!
if u script and get caught it happens why scripters use temp accounts

One thing to consider based on what Salvern suggested to you is that EA could simply refuse to provide you with the service. Sure, it might be possible to get the courts to order the release of the information in the UK, but then EA could simply turn around and tell you your account is closed and they no longer want you as a customer. Call it a silly conspiracy theory but stranger things have happened between multinational companies and individuals. They have deeper pockets than you do...

 

[Xenobia]

Who cares? I mean, if you don't do anything wrong...why are you so worried? I have accounts that belonged to other people and have had no issues at all. One of the accounts still has a guy sitting in jail on another shard which totally cracks me up. I don't cheat, script etc. so I don't care.
Just chill, play the game and don't "AFK" as you put it, while macroing.

That is the problem
AFK
I remember that there is 2 times, in two different accounts, that have me a warning for afk while i'me here.
The first time i was macroing in vesper bank, lockpicking. A GM put me in the moongate room but i was speaking with him. But no account blocked.
The second times was when i had a computer crash. I saw the GM, i saw his words but i've crashed for about an hour ( i live in country and the internet connection is very very bad):
So i'd like to know if there some warning that i don't remember.
In so many years there is a chance to have had one.
PS: I don't AFK
