Although this warning seems pretty obvious, you will likely ignore it at some point in the future because of the friendships you have made while playing this game. Here are a few helpful rules to live by:
- You should never be afraid to ask for "collat" (nor should anyone be offended by it) because it is the ONLY way to avoid losing money should that person decide to scam or never log in again.
- Never loan someone more than 50% of his/her bank value.
- Never loan more than you are willing to lose. If you decide to lend items with zero collateral, they should be easily replaceable.
- Do not be ashamed to report people, who have scammed you. You may save someone else.
By adhering adamantly to these rules you can help protect yourself and others. Scammers can only thrive if they are able to scam. Do not empower those who seek to do harm! Be smart and make good decisions!
