dunno, one thing i've found in eq, is that people that buy accounts come in three flavors.
one: newbs with too much money, that want to go immieditly to the head of the class. that are the sterotypical people that gamers make fun of and try to avoid, as they know nothing about the game, and learning from scratch takes time.
two: mid lvl people that want to see end game, but don't have the time. They tend to know the basic mechanics but don't have quite the reflexes and everyday know how , but with a few day's practice can learn the class. Their also the biggest group imo.
three: high lvl people, that are looking for either a twink, or they realize some class in balance in high end play, and want a more needed class. In Eq i saw this alot with melee dps classes (monks rogues) going for (wizzes/clerics) . They easily can switch between classes, with a few hours of pratice.
group 3 in terms of volumes sold, at least from what i saw in eq, was less then group two, but alot more then group 1( which realistiacly In 5 years of eq, i've only ran into twice, compared to the numerious bought and sold accounts that I grouped with or applied to guilds I was in).
