Hi simplynice, Usually this means you are currently logged in as the 'root' user, an account which can do things an ordinary account cannot. I will assume that you are using a Linux-distribution OS to run your rAthena server; so, you must make another user on your system and run rAthena with that account instead to avoid seeing this warning. Running under root is never harmful to your emulation; but it has a slight chance or being harmful to your system, overall. In order to create a normal user in your system, the usual command is 'useradd <NAME>' or 'adduser <NAME>'.
