Sold WoW Account

[Huba12]

Hello . A year ago i made the mistake of selling my WoW Account to a guy providing him with cd keys/i.d. photo . After a while a created another account , with the same name as the previous account , so i can play again . I noticed that the guy i sold the account to isn`t playing for a couple months now and i have no way of getting in contact with him to purchase the account back . Is it possible to recall the account ? And if i try it is there any chance of my getting banned on my second account ? Thank you.

You sold the account, and now it belongs to him. Recalling the account would be considered scamming.

If you sold the account and try to take it back, thats called theft/fraud.
If you sold your car to your neighbor, and you noticed it only stood parked in his garage, would you use an extra key you had held hidden from him and go steal it back?

I strongly advice you against trying to recall the account, and that would be considered scamming.

Also you have to consider why the account has become inactive for the past few months.

Maybe the person who bought it from you has been using bot programs or hacks, or Blizzard have realised the account was bought from another player, and the account has been banned.

So contacting Blizzard to try and get the account restored back to yourself may land you in even more trouble than just scamming/stealing it back from the person you sold it to.

And if the buyer has paid what they would consider a substantial amount of money for it, and find it has been restored and given back to you, they won't go down without a fight. Even if they use your copied ID and prove they bought it from you, Blizzard will just ban the entire account from both of you, and then that person is going to try and recoup their money via other means (PayPal, the site they purchased it from, etc).

You must have had a good reason for selling it in the first place, so the best thing to do is cut your losses, and build up your new account again if you really enjoy the game
