Let us establish a theoretical MMORPG.
Person X plays to the highest level possible in said MMO, and sells his account to Web-Based goldseller G.
G sells the account, at markup to Person Y, who promptly changes the password on said account.
Months go by.
Person X gets an e-mail from the producers of said MMO, realizes his e-mail is the contact for the account, and requests a new password. The automated form happily obliges, nuking Person Y's new password in the process. Person X now has his account back.
Person X checks the payment history, and notes that the account has been dormant for at least a month and a half, and none of the characters have been transferred off of the account.
What, then, is person X to do?
Possible options include:
1) Sending a letter from an anonymous address to Person Y, something along the lines of 'LOL NINJA.'
2) Send a letter to Person Y, again from an anonymous address, along the lines of 'sorry d00d, here's your new password.'
3) Sell account back to goldfarmers G.
4) Take a second shot at enjoying said theoretical MMO.[/list]

"Hypothetically" give the guy his damn password back, since he paid you for it, otherwise, it's fucking stealing.
