If you rent your dungeon to a player, and the player accepts the invitation, every day the rent will be automatically removed from the player and placed in your account. In case the player do not have the need amount of gold, the invitation is automatically revoked. At anytime the player can cancel the rental by clicking on the rent amount in the entrance of the player dungeons. You should consider to rent a room (with chest) or build your own dungeon as soon you may start to loose money you carry with.
---- 15th Apr 2005 -----
