Preventing Scams and Hacks

When you first start or even during your gaming experience, you will notice there are a few players who try to break the rules. Sometimes you don't know that they are doing that and therefore you can get scammed, hacked, or even banned. Mainly this is just to tell about common ones and how to avoid them.

1. What is a Scam?

A scam is a trick into getting your items or money. When you first start you are at the highest risk of getting scammed because free player worlds have more dishonest players that a members-only world. Even worse, they always think that the lower levels are the ones that need to be 'scammed', when actually nobody needs it!

Common Scams:

Some common scams are as follows:


 * "I am trimming armour! Its for free!"::

This is a really easy scam, while you believe that they will make your armour cool and trimmed like the rune armour with a lighter rune colored trim, you give them the armour you want trimmed. However the sad thing is is that, once you give them your armour they take it and leave. An easy way to avoid this annoying problem is to report people who say that and tell people around you not to give them their armour.


 * Games of trust::

Trusting games such as "Give me your -insert expensive item here" and you could win big money! I always give it back" etc...is a scam, because you give them your item and *poof!* it's all gone! And usually they only do that if its a 'good item' such as a rune two-hander or, on a members world, a dragon chain, possibly even your money! Again the best thing to do is to report them and tell people around you.


 * Begging::

Surprise, but begging is also a scam. They ask for money, an item, etc, and say they got hacked or etc, and usually, always usually, this is a lie to get your items or money. Again....report them, but there is no need to cuss or diss them, just walk away, if this doesen't work usually telling them you reported them works.


 * Do this and ill give you this::

Now usually theese people tell you to do something against the rules. You do it and get reprorted. This steals your account instead of your items or money, so it is very dangerous and you shoulden't do it. As well, a similar scam is that they tell you they will buy or trade someone for one or a number of your items. However they log off with your items, or run away, sometimes they even pm u saying "Thanks for ____", and THEN log off. Reporting them and running away usually helps, if they are a freind remove them and do not talk to them.
