Use a valid email address and a unique password that is not used on any other website or game server.

Can I share my GladiusRO account?

Account sharing is strongly discouraged.

The registered account owner is responsible for all activity performed through the account. Sharing login information may result in lost items, unauthorized access, account disputes, or other security problems.

The GladiusRO team may be unable to recover losses resulting from voluntary account sharing.

Use the password recovery function available through the GladiusRO Control Panel.

If password recovery is unavailable or the registered email address cannot be accessed, contact the official GladiusRO support team. Be prepared to provide suitable account ownership information.

Never publicly share passwords, recovery codes, or other sensitive account information.

Is account trading allowed?

Players should consult the current GladiusRO server rules before buying, selling, transferring, or sharing accounts.

Any account-related transaction performed outside officially permitted systems may be unsupported and conducted at the player's own risk.
