All That Glitters Is Not Gold...
Jan 31, 2008 18:15 EST 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!

the last part cracked me up, "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."

anyway, i feel like turbine is doing a great job with this game.

**Maddux** · 1st February 2008, 04:28 AM

Well, I agree about the bugs, they should have used plant species or songbirds to really get the sympathy vote

, but all-in-all, I love the fact that they inject humor into even simple announcements.

And Maddux, don't you DARE sell that gold! I'm certain I can find a way to spend it for you!
