If you are able to legitimately make the plat to buy a toon, you really shouldn't have to ask how to do something like change an account password....

This is so deeply illogical it hurts... Knowledge of how eqemu works is not required to farm plat. There is absolutely no connection between them in any realm other than that of your own pathetic idiocy.

Thank you for being so helpful and not jumping to judgement. Trying to change my own password I click on the link in getting started for creating login server account and I get

To be safe you need a 3rd person or "middleman" to handle the toon and plat transfer. People like Bobbarker used to do things like that. Not sure who does now. A friend you both agree would work that you both trust.

I've done a lot of account sales and buys, etc. If you plan on buying an account you need to get the person's full EQ EMU info and go here: http://www.eqemulator.org/

After logging in with the current login/password, click on the User CP panel and change the account password and then the account email. Next go to the email address you just changed it to and open up that email to confirm the email change. Finally, go into the Login server accounts and change the password.

It is best to only buy accounts when dealing with someone with a good rep on the forums or in-game. The buyer always hands in the full amount of plat up-front. So the buyer has to trust the seller 100%.

So did you buy this account at one time or is this your original account? Only reason i ask if because ive only ever seen that error when after buying a account and changing Emulogin email then have to goto the new email and validate it and it have a hour or 2 hangup between me validating and it allowing me to change login info.

I've bought and sold many accounts. Never had anyone steal my stuff and I've never used 3rd party(I may be lucky though). Biggest hang up I've had is people think they have eqemu info but just have login to servers. The two I've had that happen with the person refunded my plat. Also you will get an error or access denied when you go to change the login server password if you have not verified the email address that it was just changed to.

I used Hagglebaron's escrow service a couple of years back on selling my SK account. 30k made, but lost 10% (3k) to escrow... in hindsight I think the buyer should have put 5% up.
