Welcome back brownbeard! Didnt miss ya! Tho for some reason, scammers r rlly fun to talk with if youre still on talking terms once they understand you rnt falling for it.. Brownbeard, my advice to u (second option rlly, bc ik u wont stop if i tell you to) is to go to a more active server. Mabon is quite dead. :P leave the poor ones who r still on alone :P well then, back to the nubz. Dont fall for any scams. I once got scammed by a "best friend" of all i owned in game, and since then i have gone by the rule of nvr giving anything to anyone. (With the exception of the three people i trust enough to give my account to. (Not that i would, but thats the lvl of trust i require from them bfore i lend them objects) with that rule i havent been scammed since. Be firm about not lending anything, and people will learn to accept it, and wont hold a grudge for over five minutes. And if they do, then they shouldnt be your friends. Good luck :)

Don't give out anything you expect back. The equipment I have floating around myrm became obsolete to my rogue and decided to lend it out until I find a buyer.

Besides that, I am as stubborn as a mule when someone wants to "try something out"

Thing about myrm is, you can actually trust most people, definitely if they are above guard. The untrustworthy ones seemed to have pissed off a while back.

This has worked for me, because my closest friends know i follow this policy since a "best friend" scammed me of everything i had back in 2012...
The problem is that sometimes people want to express how much they appreciate their friends, and scammers take advantage of that by befriending people or pretending to be friends. Whenever i do transfers, i ask a question that only that friend would know, such as what was the name of the alt i used to give u an item, or what is your favorite sport.

Otm could do much to improve loaning items, such as using the following great idea, kudos the the thinker
Enable a process in which you could give an item to a person which has a setable amount of time before the item is returned to the owner. Its perfect for helping people :) and to prevent ensuing arguments, one could have an option to take back the item whenever they want, thus enabling players who quit to give their items untill they come back, afterwhich they could retrieve all their items in a few clicks!
