# Account sharing is not recommended and whoever does so is fully responsible for the actions of whoever is using their characters. Lost items due to account sharing are not reimbursed by the Staff.
# Loaning items or zeny to other players is at your own risk. The GM team will not refund anything lost in such cases.
