You could kidnap their family members and hold them for ransom?

This could be interesting since technically its illegal to give that info away to anyone last I checked... breach of privacy or something in the RoC, I forget?
/me gets the popcorn
Good luck!

personal info yes but all they would need to do it erase the pw or even eaiser duplcate the stats but theres a problem with this . not saying that you are but this could also be some atempt for some lowranking person to skip a few ranks . again not saying that you are . theres no way to prove you are telling the truth or not. also i know you said you have been but your best bet would be to getin contact with this person some how

I'm not a mod, or admin, but I'll give you the jist of it.
In giving your details to someone else, you give them ownership rights to your account. It's your own responcibility to KEEP your username and password safe from players, moderators, developers, and administrators.
Usually admins don't chime in on problems like this, as the person you gave the account to may have paid to keep the account active for a short period of time. Normally, with services and such, this would entitle that person to keep that account.
Normally I'd say you're S.O.L. But you might be in luck if an admin gets the proof he needs. I'd give the email you registered the account on, and the original login name of the account AS WELL as the current name of the account (yes, TWO logins/names).

Err, correct me if I'm wrong as I've never had to use it but won't that just send it to the current email address listed on the account?
