You have to take into consideration what a 'judge in court' thinks it has meant to be, said paragraph in the Rules of RuneScape.


no we dont, they arent involved here. what we go by is what jagex say.

account name for gp. not encouraged but not against the rules
acount name for real money is RWT.

if jagex say its okay but its okay but a trust trade then there we go. thats what it is, jagex set the rules. not a judge lol

Since 'August 5, 2014' a lot have changed in terms of Jagex's Services.

We no longer have 'RuneScape accounts' but now have given us the opportunity to change to 'Jagex accounts'.

Names = character names = an in-game representation of digital character(s) = relates to Jagex account(s) ... only 1 character name per account possible.

It is not a 'service' but yet for changing a character name, within a certain timeframe, Jagex/JMods offer a 'service'. '
The user must not have changed their name within 28 days. However, redeeming a Bond can bypass that.
'

So by offering such a service it suddenly has gotten 'real world value'. However it has gotten a more 'strange' value comparing it to RuneScape's virtual currency.

Bonds can be purchased by RuneScape's virtual currency or real world currency, so there's a direct connection to RWT.

However there are more examples that connect RuneScape's virtual currency to real world currency thus simply saying that RuneScape said so back in August 5, 2014 doesn't hold much ground.

Times have changed, so has RuneScape, and so the relation to the real world.

Your image just reflects what 'RuneScape' said not what 'Jagex' said. There's a difference between both of them, I hope you do understand that.

jagex own the runescape twitter....

come on dude. dont be silly now

this is there last plublic statement on the issue. do i wish they should update it so it cant be done, yes. but no this to my knowledge is the last statement they made on the matter, so this is what we have to go by. and that is that it is fine to buy or sell account names for ingame gold.

your attempt to give it value with the use of name change of bonds is null, as we can change our names for free anyway. if the only way to change name was with bonds then sure it may hold some water in your argument, but its not the case.


what is important here is the correct information is being given to people who ask, and who come back in future looking for the answer to this. your opinion doesnt. my opinion is also it shouldnt be allowed.

but the last statement from jagex is, yes its allowed only for ingame gold. that is the end of it. if you can find another plublic statement from them that is newer then please do. but this is best one i can find. otherwise you are aguing for the sake of arguing, which is not what im interested in.

At Jagex there are more 'projects running', more than RuneScape which do not have all the same teams involved and as such responsibilities involved are represented by different people.

Something to be worth mentioning from '
X
' -> '
All comments and opinions are my own and are not those of Jagex.
'.
Still they are JMod.

So to say that I am silly ... nope, I don't be.

-----------------------------------

We are actually talking about '
selling Jagex's Digital Property
' as character names are Jagex's Digital Property and not 'RuneScape's Property'.
I have a '
Jagex account
', which ties to a 'character name', which can't be sold or bought.

and we have gone over this.

selling an account name for gold. would be the same as selling a FSOA for gold. both are digital property owned by jagex.

selling a name or FSOA for real money is RWT.


there is no such thing as "runescape" property. runescape is a game owned by jagex.


nothing can be owned by runescape, as runescape is the game, owned by jagex.

character names are not tied to the jagex account.

if i was to change my name. the name "tenebri" would eventually be allowed to be used by anyone else. it is not tied to my jagex account in anyway.

you have alot of information confused.



but as stated many times now, what op was wanting to be answered has been answered.

im not going to get into an argument with you over this, when its simple and clear cut with that image.


the jagex account has no relevance to this at all

How much proof do you need ...

-----------------

If tomorrow ... Jagex decides to remove RuneScape from The Internet including all RuneScape Official Game Clients all I have left is my '
Jagex account(s)
' and '
character names
' involved, including '
Jagex Launcher
'

-----------------

So there's Jagex and Jagex's Digital Property ........................ and .................. there's RuneScape.

RuneScape is 'a game' owned by Jagex, the owners of 'my created' account and character name representing a character in any of Jagex's Owned Online Games.

and the account names, is something that is allowed to be sold via ingame currency.

as mentioned already by jagex.

what are you trying to argue here?




there is nothing left to discuss. it is allowed aslong as its with ingame currency.

names have always transfered over to other jagex games, funorb for instance i was tenebri in funorb. the jagex account makes no difference here.

they allow the names to be sold for ingame currency, as long as the game is owned by jagex.
