passwords, your security, SCAMS!

Somebody out there wants to steal your character.
It has been tried more than once. Tips to stay out of trouble:

- No Admin or immortal of Achaea will ever ask you for your password.
We don't need it. We don't want it. It wouldn't do us any good anyway.


Things you can do to stay safe
------------------------------
- Never tell your password to anyone. Ever. Even if asked by us.

- Make sure whoever you talk to is legitimate, using HELP <name>,
HELP GODS, HELP ADMINS, or even HONOURS <name>

- Many immortals have help files. Try HELP SARAPIS, for example,
or HELP <name> for others.

- Try HELP GODS. The people on that list are proper immortals of Achaea.

- Proper admins are Lathis, Lycon, Meletus, and Anytus. HELP ADMINS.

- Any other immortal will be obvious in HONOURS <name>.

Be careful! If someone claims to be a god, immortal, admin, or staff of
Achaea, check it out first. One impersonator created a new character
named Serapis to try to fool other players into giving away money or
credits or passwords. Another created Clementis. It happens all the
time.

Don't give us your password.

Don't hand over your credits either. When you are buying artifacts,
we'll handle it in a very safe and proper way, at the artifact shops
or via direct emails to artifacts@achaea.com.

Don't fall for these scams!

Penned by my hand on the 22nd of Chronos, in the year 358 AF.
