Real Money & Noxifer Networks

We DO NOT condone the purchase of in-game items outside of our store, asking for money in return for in-game items, or selling in-game items for real-life money is NOT allowed as there is no way to prove that it is a legitimate transaction and that it's safe for the person(s) involved. If caught doing this, you'll likely receive a permanent ban from the server.

Noxifer Networks are not liable for any transactions made between players outside of our store with real-life money, and you'll be held solely accountable for your actions, as will the person offering money/taking the money.
