Some people seem to think that HELP SECONDS, HELP MULTIPLAYING and HELP
CHARACTERSHARING have exceptions, despite the fact that there are none
mentioned in the files. They do not. Today, we shrubbed a number of
characters for violating those help files. One was shrubbed because
someone gave away a character to someone else. It does not matter to us
if the first person doesn't play the character anymore. Transferring a
character is illegal whether it's your good friend, twin, wife, husband,
or anybody. HELP SECONDS clearly states that helping another character
of yours in any way is illegal. Seems some people have decided that
letting your alts use a shop is legal. It is, most definitely, not. In
fact, even admitting an alt into your shop is a violation as it does,
after all, help the alt get into the stockroom.

We are -deadly- serious about these rules and it doesn't really matter
to us how many credits you've bought. If you break these rules and we
find out, there will be no mercy. They are there to at least attempt to
ensure there is some integrity in the game and as such they help
everybody. Please don't make us waste our time and yours by having to
punish you for it.
