First thing first, It is now required that you now READ THIS as soon as possible!!
They are Gaia safety tips that will help alot. Please read the whole thing for your own safety.




The most important part of this:
IF YOU SEE A PM THAT YOU THINK MIGHT BE A SCAM, FORWARD IT TO ME OR SHELFANIEL RIGHT AWAY. IT IS EVEN BETTER IF YOU SEND IT TO BOTH OF US.

If anyone asks for your password, it's a scam! Don't give it to them!!

and if you are a victim of being hacked... please please! you need to PM either me or Freakazoid! there is an on-going investigation and we need all of your help and cooperation so thisincident maybe lessen....

for more tips and advice please keep on reading this page as I and freakaziod would update this
please this is important!!!


PEOPLE LISTEN UP!
HERE ARE SOME TIPS SO YOUR ACCOUNT WON'T GET HACKED INTO!!

1. DO NOT give out your password to just anyone unless you know the person and you know you can absolutel trust them....

2. Change your password at least every other month or once a month if you love you account and stuff...

3. If ever there is a survey that would grant you any amount of gold in exchange for your username and password...I know its tempting but DON'T do it... more likely the person behind it is someone who is retard and just wants to hack into your accoun "steal" your stuff.....

anything else you would like to add to the list to prevent getting hack just add to the list and pass it around to your friends....

thank you! whee

Attention!!!

an example of how this hackers can get your password....

if you've recieved a PM that was sent to you by someone with [MOD] in their name or pretending to be a mod

i have one thing to say


MODS DON'T NEED TO ASK FOR YOUR PASSWORD!!

they can go inside your account with no problems

i've experienced someone who mailed me that has a name of [MOD] and the mail say's that
"You have been reported hacker please give us your password so that we can check if you did really hacked someone thank you for your cooperation"

i tell you guys don't believe in fake mails and watch out for CHAINMAILS!! these days cause they can hack you now by mails....
an example is the mail that is named
"CHECK THIS OUT"
