    Nope. You don't own the rights to the pixels, therefore you don't have the right to sell it. It's all in the TOS.

    In addition to the lawyerspeak Terms of Service, which state that :
    All rights and title in and to the Website, the Game, the Software and the Service, all features and content thereof (including without limitation any user accounts, titles, computer code, files, game software, client and server software, tools, patches, updates, themes, objects, characters, character names, stories, storylines, objects, content, text, dialogue, catch phrases, themes, locations, concepts, artwork, designs, graphics, pictures, video, animation, sounds, music, musical, compositions, sound recordings, audio-visual effects, information, data, documentation, , "applets", chat transcripts, character profile information, game play, and recordings ) and the selection and arrangement thereof (collectively the "Proprietary Materials") are the proprietary property of PWE or its licensors and are protected by U.S. and international copyright and other proprietary rights laws.

    ... You agree not to take any of the following actions: ... (m) trade, sell, auction or otherwise transfer any virtual items or goods of any nature outside the game

    The FAQ boils it down a little clearer :
    As iterated in the Terms of Service, all digital items and intellectual property pertaining to any games and/or service provided by Perfect World Entertainment is owned solely by Perfect World Entertainment. You have no specific rights to any of these items or characters except to use them in accordance with the rules set forth by the company. This is different than reselling the items you purchased in the boutique for in-game currency.

    1. Item Selling
    The selling of virtual/digital goods owned by Perfect World Entertainment for real monies is strictly forbidden except in any instance backed by the company.

    2. Character Selling
    Character selling is strictly forbidden. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

    3. Account Transfer
    Account selling, trading, or transferring is not allowed. Basically, once you register an account, it should only be accessed by you.

    In short, don't do it. It's like selling borrowed goods, except you're selling borrowed goods with your name and the buyer's name etched on the back, and then sending pictures to the owner you borrowed it from regularly.

    ty b:sad

    sux for me :|
    the only problem with what they said.. is that we invest time and/or (in some cases) money in our accs and we should be able to do whatever we want this them as long as we don't ask help from the game stuffs in our trades or w.e.
    as long as I dont "own" my account.. my buyer will not "own" the account..... is like I borrowed the acc from PWE .. and then pass it to some1 else.. and he is borrowing too b:chuckle .... ofc.. he gave me some money for it.. because he consider that he must pay my nolife time spend in making lvls b:laugh and thinks LOL b:sin

    No adi, gattsuru is 100% correct. Selling your account is a bannable offense.

    OMG!! I got the point !!!!!!!!!!! I didn't tryed to sell it.. I just talk!!!!!!!!! and wanted to be informed !!!!!!!! Why did I got permanent ban for putting a question then??? or if u don't like that I asked this.. u could simply erased my thread and worn me!!!!!!!! b:angry b:angry

    or it was a precousion for an eventual sale?? Do u really think I'm so stupid that if is illeagal I will sell it??? or u dont have time to check this.. so u just like to ban ppl ??? like I had the other 2 bans? for been in an IP range that u didnt liked.. I got 2 bans? and not the 3th cos u didnt liked what I asked?????

    god them !!!! this can pass so easy!! I will try my best now for doing bad reputation to this server.

    selling accs its an offenseve think.. but random ban is a good think?! or what is ur vision? b:angry b:angry

    You posted multiple times in this thread stating that you wanted to sell your account. Even having the TOS quoted to you, you seemingly try to reason your way into selling your account.
