<p>Each account should only be used by ONE person. Account sharing is NOT allowed. You may not sell, transfer or lend your account to anyone else, or permit anyone else to use your account, and you may not accept an account that anybody else offers you.</p>

<h4>Related Questions</h4>
<p>Below are some related questions which may help you to further understand and follow this rule:</p>
<div class="faqsList">
<ol>
<li><a href="#why">Why do we have this rule? </a></li>
<li><a href="#what">What about swapping my account with another player? </a></li>
<li><a href="#sell">Can I sell the 'time' I have put into the account? </a></li>

<li><a href="#ebay">I have seen an account for sale on ebay, what should I do? </a></li>
</ol>
</div>
<br>
<div class="hr"></div>
<a name="why"></a>
<span class="title">1. Why do we have this rule? </span>
<p>We have this rule for two reasons:</p>
<ol>
<li>Firstly, many of the accounts people try to sell are actually accounts they have stolen, so, by buying the account you are helping them profit from their crime, and encouraging them to do it more!</li>
<li>Secondly, this rule is for your protection, as people who share accounts run the risk that the person using the account won't give it back, or that the person will break a game rule causing your account to be banned or muted.</li>
</ol>
<div class="backtotop"><a href="#top">Back to the top</a></div>
<div class="hr"></div>
<a name="what"></a>
<span class="title">2. What about swapping my account with another player? </span>
<p>This is considered account trading, so it is not allowed under the game rules.</p>
<div class="backtotop"><a href="#top">Back to the top</a></div>
<div class="hr"></div>
<a name="sell"></a>
<span class="title">3. Can I sell the 'time' I have put into the account?</span>
<p>No. Under the game rules each account should only be used by one person. This applies throughout the lifetime of that account. In order to sell the 'time' you have put into an account, you would have to transfer or lend the account to someone else, thereby breaking the game rules.</p>
<div class="backtotop"><a href="#top">Back to the top</a></div>
<div class="hr"></div>
<a name="account1"></a>
<span class="title">4. I share my account with a friend, is that allowed? </span>
<p>No, this is not allowed. Sharing your account with anyone, including family members and/or friends, means that you are breaking a game rule and this can lead to your account being banned.</p>
<div class="backtotop"><a href="#top">Back to the top</a></div>
<div class="hr"></div>
<a name="ebay"></a>
<span class="title">5. I have seen an account for sale on Ebay, what should I do? </span>
<p>Please rest assured that members of Jagex staff check all known auction sites on a daily basis to ensure that no game accounts are sold via online auctioning web sites. It should be remembered that all accounts (and items) remain the property of Jagex at all times, and we will not hesitate to remove such items from the game if we have evidence that rule breaking has taken place.</p>
<p><i>To keep RuneScape enjoyable for everyone, please observe and follow our rules. We will not tolerate disruptive players, and if you break our rules your account is likely to be banned or muted. Members who are banned or muted for breaking our rules are not entitled to any sort of refund.</i></p>
