Euro Pvp Test takes every possible measure to safeguard account security. However, players must also look after their own safety. Use alphanumeric passwords of at least 8 characters. Never share your password with anyone — experience shows that most breaches are carried out by people the player knows. GMs and support staff will never ask for your password. Please be aware that the administration does not restore items lost due to account compromise. Compromised accounts are permanently banned.
