The The Battle Test administration takes every possible measure to protect account security. However, players must also take responsibility for their own safety. Use alphanumeric passwords of at least 8 characters. Never share your password with anyone — experience shows that most account compromises involve people known to the owner. GMs and support staff will never ask for your password. Please note that the administration does not restore items lost due to account hacking. Hacker accounts are permanently banned.
