This is a reminder that the Staff and Immortals of WoTmud do not get involved in any way if you trade, share, or give characters and something goes wrong. Our policy is we do not support shared, given or traded characters in any way and that covers everything from clanning privileges to mediating a dispute if you think you've been cheated. If you share a character, trade a character, or give a character away you do so at your own risk.
If the Staff (104+) feels that someone is preying on our playerbase in this regard, we will not hesitate to siteban the player/ISP and/or confiscate characters. This does not mean characters will be held or returned. It means that if we take those measures, those characters will never be seen again in the game.
