Using unofficial app markets is at your own risk

It has come to my attention that some are using the app from 3rd party markets - for various reasons.
I will warn you - doing so may actually be a bad idea.
There are "fake stores" out there that may give modified apps - ones that can steal passwords, credit card info, and do all sorts of things to your device.
I am hoping for a list of "official supported markets" to come out, but in the mean time, just be smart about it.
You should only download apps from trusted, reliable app stores.
You should not install if the app requires permissions you do not want it to have.

For the current version of FT MMORPG (6.3.0), the Google Play version only requires the following permissions:

In-app purchases

Photos/Media/Files
  • read the contents of your USB storage
  • modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
Storage
  • read the contents of your USB storage
  • modify or delete the contents of your USB storage
Other
  • view network connections
  • full network access
  • control vibration

If you're trying to install a version of the app from another source, and it requests permissions other than these, you may wish to reconsider the idea of installation.
Be careful out there people - the internet can be a scary place.

You're correct MadMikael. 3rd party apps can be VERY dangerous. Furthermore, those few (official) permissions you listed are actually enough to steal FT account information (IGN/pass) if coded a certain way. All in all, not worth the risk.
