Re: Don't fall for it - a word of warning
Well it does mean we've appeared as a blip on someone's radar. As far as I know these guys did not come from one of the bigger corporate sites who do this sort of thing (regardless of your views of the wrongs or rights of buying MMO items and cash for real life money, they at least don't rip you off), it was more of a dodgy website, even dodgier contact details and even dodgier than that methods of carrying out the transaction.

Nice works souls
Can't imagine anyone that *would* fall for: "send me the money first and I'll EMAIL you the goods"....as if dappers or mats *could be* emailed...
Anyway, great work Souls! Nuke 'em! Nuke 'em dead!

Hello all , this is my fst post here.
I am on a 7 day fee trial and I am a refugeee from WotofWot.
I was once an end game Guild Master of a big guild that sometimes used to hunt chinese gold farmers and disrupt their activities in one of the regions of that world.
In the end the company responsible for that game wouldnt do much against those farmers as it was also benefic for them. Seems that, in a distorted business logic, chinese gold farmers were good for them as the meant usually more accounts and more accounts for lazy players...all in all a confortable arrangement.
I joined this game yesterday, still deciding if I am going to stay, but the comunitty is absolutely fabulous here...that is, so far, the major asset of this game. Since MMORPG are all about people you have one of the best arguments to make good players decide for this game...and I havent even left newbie island yet but already have a decent armour given by a very friendly player. All in all I am very surprised.
Not surprised that gold farmers arrived here, you are very well rated in some MMORPG review sites and have growned in reputation, thats why I signed for the free trial. They wil flock to this game, although it seems they wont be that lucky here.
This only means that your game is finnaly in the map, unfortunately that means you in the map for most of bad things also: bad players, gold diggers...the works.
It wil depend of the answer of the comunity in the end, but from what I saw, you have a better then average chance of dealing with it correctly and keep your comunitty intact.
