Why should I use the official Account Access Transfer service to transfer access to a previously used account I just acquired?

Origin encourages players to take great care when transferring or trading access to accounts. If you’ve acquired access to an account without the assistance of our official transfer system, we have no record or proof that the account can be legitimately used by you, or that the player who created the account has given you permission to use the account name and password. So, we've created this process as a service to our players. By going through this transfer process, Origin can verify that the account is in your name (i.e. you have the former player's permission to use it).

Will I have to pay to have the official transfer handled by Origin?

Yes, there will be a fee of $30.00. The new player will be charged this fee at the time you (the new player) are contacted by Origin to verify the transfer. The official transfer form is available here. This charge will be applied to the credit card you plan on using to pay your monthly subscription.

Do I need to get Origin involved in the process of transferring access to pre-existing accounts?

No, Origin does not get involved in any transaction or agreement between you and another player, nor are we responsible for any dispute that may arise. If you choose not to use the official Account Access Transfer service created by Origin, and a dispute over the use of the account ever comes up, we may not be able to determine who rightfully has access to the account and, as a result, the account could be terminated.

If I acquire access to an account from a player that has been reprimanded in the game and I get Origin to officially transfer the account, will the official transfer remove the reprimands accumulated by the other player?

Yes, if you use the Account Access Transfer program Origin has provided, any and all comments and infractions on the account will not affect your standing in the game once the Account Access Transfer process is completed. What this means is that any comments on an account prior to the transfer will not affect your standing with Origin.

Will I be able to play on the account while waiting for the transfer document and payment to clear Origin?

Yes, you will be able to access an active account if the former player has provided you with the name and password, but be sure to change the password, billing, and account information by going to the Ultima Online Account Management Web page at https://www.ultima-registration.com/.

What if I want to transfer access to multiple accounts from the same person? Will I be charged for each account?

If you acquire access to multiple accounts from the same person you can get them all officially transferred as one transaction (up to 3 accounts per transfer). There will be only one transfer fee charged to you.

Let's say I just acquired access to an account and used Origin’s Account Transfer Program. Will I be able to transfer access to the account through Origin to someone else?

We do not control how many times access to an account is transferred, or who can play on an account (it is up to you to control your own password), but you cannot use the Account Access Transfer Program to transfer access to the account back to a previous player of that same account. The account access will be marked as being officially transferred in our database system.

Can I transfer my account access to a player who has been banned from Ultima Online?

No. Both the former player and the new player must be considered “in good standing” by Origin Systems. This means that neither player involved in the transaction may have been banned from Ultima Online. Additionally, you should keep in mind that allowing a member whose account has been terminated (or “banned”) to access the service through your account is a direct violation of the Ultima Online Terms of Service Agreement.
