Legal or ilegal?

Just have a question, ppl seems doing a lot deals for xim and selling items for xim, its legal or ilegal to sell items for xim?, GM didnt knew to response about that.

Strictly speaking, this is a bannable offense, and against the rules.

However, people get around ths by not mentioning it in realm chat unless they are 100% confident a GM is not around, and no one is going to screenshot them. Also, the GameSamba GM team have recently adopted a very carefee attitude to the rules as player retention is so bad on Haven that they will only ban for the very worst offenses. Even spamming realm chat earns you a 30 minute mute now.

Basically, the unwritten rule is if you want to trade for ximerin, do it quietly, and dont advertise it.

i wonder how WoW and other mmos cope with such things. From the above, I think Regnum GM's are being sensible.

I doubt NGD intends on banning people for spending money on ximerin.

WoW is a pay to play game and has no premium currency. Furthermore since it has no "Item Mall", everything in the game is attainable with some effort and most items such as gladiator or raid gear are untradeable anyway so there is no need to ever buy something from someone with real cash.

And about xim trading. My opinion is the same as Gruffy's, go ahead and do it if you want but don't cry to the GM if you get screwed over.

Linuxmage, it is possible to buy xim as a gift in this game. So, giving some xim to another person is legal. And of course giving some game-stuff to another person is legal too. Why do you think the sum of these two actions becoms illegal? Any proofs or links?

It is legal, but if someone cheats you and you lose some item or money, NGD will do nothing

And rightfully so.
