Is it forbidden to give stuff to my alts?

Hello,

I read some things that people got banned for giving gold to their alts. So if I have 2-3 characters can I send money/items to the lower level characters?

I mean this sounds stupid but I want to know before it is too late.

I cannot imagine this being bannable in any way.

I was permanently banned for sending gold between my accounts. Good thing it was reversed when I contacted admin.

Between accounts ok, but between characters on the same account?

They have some sort of gold threshold that gets you autobanned for sending to other accounts. It's high, way above 1000g, but every case is reviewed by GMs, so don't worry. As long as you don't send 3k gold to a different account you will have no issues. I think there's no limit on sending money between characters on the same account.

Is it possible to inform the gm's beforehand, so you don't get temp banned for sending gold from bank account to main account?

Thank you for the info! Btw is that written somewhere? I mean if the gold sellers or cheaters know that they could just transfer it in smaller portions etc.

BUYING gold from gold-sellers is forbidden, not sending gold between your (or your friend's characters).Thus the devs implemented a routine/program that monitors gold transactions in the game. When you buy gold from a seller, you don't get it on your local flea market, the gold seller will give it to you from one of his bogus gold-carrier characters.( And the transaction is logged and intercepted by the 'watchdog program'. Apaprently it cannot see the difference between YOU transfering 3k gold from your TOON-A to your TOON-B from the gold seller transfering 3k gold from his toon to your toon. But later, once the watchdog flags you as gold buyer and bans your acc, the devs have operatives that can inspect every case separately and un-ban you if they deem your transaction a legitimate one. So, as other said, try to limit your gold transactions as to not trigger the filter.

Also, they have a list of known gold sellers that they do not ban, but ban the players who buy from them. Excellent method to ruin their market by hitting where it hurts the most - their clients.
