The main reason for this is <br>that we previously had difficulty tracking the association of players to <br>their characters they played (relying almost entirely upon the connection <br>ip).  T This made it very difficult to enforce whether people were trading <br>characters on the 'black market'.<br><br>Recent adjustments have made things much easier to track and I believe <br>that things such as 'play stye' and 'typo frequencies' are hard to fake <br>no matter what your skill.<br><br>With this in mind, I feel we can safely outlaw character switching and do <br>a decent enough job enforcing it.<br><br>From now on, sharing passwords or allowing others to use your character <br>for any reason (temporary or permanent) is illegal and will result in <br>removal of the offending character and probably secondary penalties to <br>other characters.<br><br>Thank you all for your patience with this.  Past transfers will of course <br>remain in effect, but I think everyone will be happier if the names stay <br>with their owners.<br><br>Charon<br><br><br><br>[[Category:Changes_Board]]
