I have been scammed out of fame a lot but I just try again the next time.

I don't trade fame. I've only done it twice, first time was unsuccessful since the person defamed me. *Which was stupid of me since I should of requested he do so first, and of course the idiot logged off* And the other time went okay. Otherwise, I don't care about fame anymore. It's set up in such a way that you become too attached to it in the game. I would stalk them down and seek revenge though. But I only do that if it's a random/unfair defame to one of my friends.

im actually quite amazed how just being nice could earn you quite a bit of fames... and also have come to a realization that I fame people that I like or are nice to me so why not just be nice to people and you may or may not see your fame rise pretty high... sometimes people will just be weasles and leave but why let that bother you its just a game folks... :D Plus just dont fame people you dont want to if you dont want to RISK not getting famed back...ok im done ranting blah :D

Most of my fame is from newbies that think my guy is cool cause of arrow bomb >< ive gotten 5 fame just from that.......... But I trade when I feel like it, every couple days, and the other portions of my fame are from helpin someone out in one way or another. But just relize that its just a game, if someone wants to go as low as scaiming someone then let them be the noobs, note the difference between newbies and noobs pease.

I'd go take more english classes, and learn to not fall for the same trick twice..

DON'T MASS DEFAME! 1. Horrible experience for me trying to get my fame back up from -25. 2. It's a form of harrassment, which WILL get you banned.

im a major fan of defame, especially when someone ksed me or are being jerks. ive also learned that mass defame is fun cuz if you dont punish them for being jack holes and scamming, then they will keep on being jackholes. gotta learn there lesson.

i usually only ask people if im out training in some remote spot and someonme comes along. i usually say"wanna trade fame" instead of what most people do "TRADING FAME@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@" ya know? its friendlier and ive never gotten scammed before :-D

Look at the persons lvl. Most low lvls love to scam ppl since they cant really afford 5k... haha lol. find atleast a lvl 20+ to trade... well, lvl 40+ cuz i got scammed by a lvl 23 haha lol. That usally happens once a while, but write down that guys name, and wait til the next day. When hes on, defame him, or just forget about it.

Forgot to meantion... my bro does that all the time. My bro goes up to random ppl, and says "Im buying fame for 8k, wanna trade?" And then he always gets away with his... No wonder his fame is 36 the last time i saw his charc. I asked him and he said, random ppl famed him... hahaa lol. Until one day he told me. =D

This one guy darthvader15 on Bera scammed me outta fame before, it really does piss me off when that happens, and honestly I think you need a fame exchange system. This fame system is the same as dropping a rare item and HOPING you get paid.

This always happen. I've lost a few fames from this. But if you really think about it, it's just fame ^-^. Unless you really need it for a quest or equip, then that's a problem, but usually it isn't. Just ignore it ^-^. Be nice to people, and some of them will fame you. That's where I earned most of my fame from ^^.
