Hey there! So you're new here... And you want an account? Yeah, the only way you can claim an account is to buy it from the other person with Toricredits... I've heard of people selling their accounts before, so if you can get the guy's permission (though if he hasn't been on in a long time you may have no means of getting his permission) you probably could claim the account.
But they do have a point. Asking for things on the forums is the quickest way to gain a bad reputation... Anyway! Getting an account that has more qi, etc. kind of takes the fun out of playing the game. Don't you want to advance on your own? The taste of victory is sweeter if you've won it yourself.
EDIT: FAIL... Sorry, only read the first post by accident.
