I am proposing a change to rule 10 regarding account sharing. After discussing with a number of discord members in the suggestions chat I am formally proposing a suggestion to amend the rules around account sharing. Currently account sharing is against game rules, I suggest that that we should amend this to allow players to share there account information with people if they so choose too.
Conditions:
This will be 100% at the players risk and the staff will not aid in issues regarding hijacked accounts/stolen items when the account details have been shared.
A larger emphasis on rule 11 on multi logging. This will ensure account sharing can't be abused for GIM team gain etc.
Reasons for this suggestion are:
Allow GIM easier access to shared items if they have not been put into the chest. But obviously if there is a team that does not wish to share items the chest is still a viable option.
This will bring it into align with other popular servers and also OSRS. Even though it isn't condoned on oldschool, its over looked as people often share different accounts for pk builds etc.
Possible issues:
Increased risk of scamming. (this would be combatted by the condition of the player accepting 100% risk if they choose to share account information.)
People may encourage players to start to offer account services such as Inferno. (my opinion on this issue is that if somebody is looking for an account services currently they will get said services no matter the current stand point on the issue. If the changes to rule 10 were implemented we could have a poll whether to allow the services or police them like the current rule 10 is being policed.)
Conclusion: Overall I believe that account sharing should be allowed. This is down to the judgement of the player if they want to share the information and accept responsibility for the account and the actions of players who have access to it.
To help gauge how players feel about this proposed change I am going to link two polls. The 1st poll will be whether players would like to change rule 10 and allow account sharing. The 2nd will be whether players would like to allow account services into the game.
