All That Glitters Is Not Gold...

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 18:15:08 -0500

Especially in-game gold bought for real money! This is a friendly reminder to our players that buying gold for real money is not only against the EULA, but can put your account at risk for hacking or banning. Buying gold causes game imbalance, damages the economy, and contributes to the amount of spam in chat, tells, and mail. In extreme cases it's even been known to cause increased hair loss, global warming, and the extinction of at least 2 species of insects every day. Don't buy gold!
