5.2. Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods:

  • 5.2.1. Purchase and Use: The Services may feature virtual currencies, such as "gold", "crystal", or other denominations ("Virtual Currency"), and virtual goods, such as items, abilities, or other offerings ("Virtual Goods"). Your acquisition and use of Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods are subject to these Terms and other related policies set forth by us.
  • 5.2.2. No Monetary Value: Virtual Currency and Virtual Goods hold no real-world monetary value and cannot be redeemed or exchanged for cash or other items of monetary value within or outside Ragnarok: Monster World.

These assets can be distinctive elements like skins, outfits, characters, or other unique digital offerings. They can be acquired through direct monetary transactions. We may introduce, modify, or remove such content at our discretion. This content is provided under a license, not as ownership.

Users are responsible for outcomes resulting from the utilization and transactions of Blockchain Asset Content. The non-exclusive nature of Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) within Blockchain Asset Content applies to both original purchases and all subsequent transactions.
