• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

If I wanted to sell my World of Warcraft Original Disks and Account, is that allowed in the FS/FT forum? I have read the rules and it appears to be so, but I want to double check to be sure.
 
It is allowable as long as the sale is in accordance with the TOS of WoW. I haven't read the TOS, so I can't give you a definite ruling right now, so check the website or your documentation to see if accounts are transferrable. If they have no objections to selling the account it would be legal to sell or trade.
 
Per the EULA you can sell the disks:

3.B. You may permanently transfer ownership of the Game and all parts thereof, and all of your rights and obligations under the License Agreement, to another by physically transferring the CD-ROM, all original packaging, and all Manuals or other documentation associated with the Game, and by removing from all of your home or personal computers and destroying any remaining materials concerning the Game in your possession or control, provided the recipient agrees to the terms of this License Agreement. The transferor (i.e., you), and not the Licensor, agrees to be solely responsible for any taxes, fees, charges, duties, withholdings, assessments, and the like, together with any interest, penalties, and additions imposed in connection with such transfer.

However, per the terms of use, you cannot sell an account.

1.E. Blizzard Entertainment does not recognize the transfer of Accounts, and any authorized transfer of the World of Warcraft software (as set forth on the worldofwarcraft.com website) will result in the permanent deletion of the Account attached to that software. You may not offer any Account for sale or trade, and any such offer is a violation of this Agreement and may result in suspension or termination of the Account.

So in answer to your original question, yes and no, :p

They have you by the short hairs here........
 
You just can't sell it... you're well within your rights to sell your disk for $30 and give them your account.
 
By technicality, he is correct. However, I would call their customer support line and ask. After reading Lethal's post, it seems that giving it away should not be against the rules. But, call to be on the safe side.
 
The key work in the TOS is transfer. The account is for the original owner only, that much is clear. The point of this thread was to get a ruling on the legality of selling the software and the account ....the ruling is yes to the software, no on the sale of the account.
