It is against the rules to buy/sell pets for real money

[IT is Leaving]

Thanks nick for the new rule.I felt really unhappy when people would sell there pets for money.Gladly that this would stop them before things would get out of hand but thanks again anywhere.

[Nick]

Wasn't this always a rule? o_o;

Actually, no, we never had any rules about it before. It was so rare that we didn't think we needed to say anything about it. But that has definitely changed over the past few months.

Although I've not paid for or sold any pets for real money, I appreciate the clarification.

o_o I am utterly shocked to find this was becoming a trend, but glad a rule has been enforced to stop it. Thanks Nick (:

It is understandable for the
artists who have made them
give them away for free while
members are providing of the
artists talents.
It's like art theft, but only now
you steal someone's provid.

Does this rule also apply if you
want to sell for example CWP/WC
for USD here in the forums or
does that depend on the website
itself?

I have deleted my thread and I hope that
I don't get trouble for it now....

Woah-I didn't know people were selling pets!Thats terrible! I think that is art theft. Someone drawing it then someone else sells it and the artist gets no money from it. Thanks Nick.

I think you will be ok for virtual game currency, as long as its ok with both parties. . . But I think we should wait for nick to clarify. . .

[Niccy Tait]

Yes Nick!
Lay down the rule.
Thats right.

I don't want to sound rude, but now you actually have to forbid any way of off-site trading if you don't want to sound like a hypocrite.

You don't have any way to protect the traders from bad trades with real money, but you also don't have any way for trading with other Site Currencies as well. It's exactly the same thing. Yes, I bought pets with real money, and yes I bought pets with other off-site currencies as well. Never was I scammed in any way. Get to know your trading partners and it won't be much of a problem.

I may be alone with not agreeing with this new rule, but honestly I don't care right now -.-"
