I would wait for someone who is running a used copy to give you the go ahead and all the specific details of how it works.

I have not read a post as yet from anyone running a used copy of ROF.

This issue should become clear very quickly, IMHO.

I expected a developers response before now but the communications seems a bit slow so far.

Problem-free if the one who sells just gives you the email address and password he used. So always a good idea to use a freebie gmail for logging in.

These are not the official Neoqb forums, don't know if they wrote about it on their forums.

Hi,
maybe you could change your eMail adress connected to your account at the official RoF site to another one and then sell it with the new one ? The new owner can then once more change it a.s.o.

Greetings,
Catfish

Since Neoqb has all of that info along with all of your stats, the best scenario would be, in the event of a re-sale, for them to delete your account to free up the disk and code key for a new user. Pretty simple.

Let me clear this up. If you buy a used copy, neoqb will not give you a new key. The previous owner must give you the entire account.

Jason:

Does that mean some one can sell their copy down the road if they aren't happy with it?
I had the impression before that that wasn't allowed from comments made in the past.

I know that will probably be a very small percentage of buyers, but I've always thought it would be best to humor your customers. So, how would they go about giving the used copy buyer their "entire account?"

Exactly what does that mean?

Thanks,

Neoqb will not support used copies in any way. The game is designed to be sold once. If you must buy a "used copy" don't just buy someone's disk and code. neoqb will not give you a new code.

Read my statement again. That's the last I intend to say about used copies.

Pretty clear: access to the email used for RoF and the password.

There's nothing easier than creating a free gmail account and having it forward to your ordinary email (so you don't need to log in to and out of several accounts). I am guessing that most of us have a "spam mail" we use like that. I certainly don't give out my ordinary mail address for all purposes.

Not only is that a violation of the ROF TOS but it is also a violation of the gmail TOS... not that anyone seem to care.
