How to protect your acc. from getting hacked,

Post by ayc »

As well known,best way to prevent your acc from getting hacked is a good password.
-What is best password to prevent hack?
A password hacker works on lower letters first,from a-z,then capital letters as A-Z,then mixes both,then tries numbers last.It takes like a day or more to reach numbers,
so the best pass would be a mix between Capital and small letters including numbers too,this pass would be impossible to hack.
Im not sure if players are losing items cz of hack or bug,but i'd recommend a strong pass on either ways :)
If you lost items,please send a pm to Gandalf,and he'll see what to do,cz posting same post as other players who lost items too will be a disaster as a spam on forums..
Keep calm and pm Gandalf :)
Hope this helps,
Best wishes :)

Nice little reminder here AYC, players should also remember not to trust others with their passwords, only moderators.

Secular you said only trust mods with Pw. Before i made the deal with Newmax brother i asked cleo if she can help that i dont get Trapped. She said no. WHY? Why mods cant help ppl with that. Why you guys be mods if you dont help by so important deals? Its realy easy to help then. For example if i say i give you 5 lvl for Blitzboots its easy to Handly out: I give cleo Blitzboots. I give pw to guy i wanna deal with. He add lvls Cleo check acc if all is ok and give Blitzboots to other one. Its so golly gee easy! Its nothing against you Secular i ask this to all Mods or to the Men who give that rule not to help

Edited by blitzcraig - please've careful with language on forum as in game, thank you.
If you need something (specifically items) feel free to pm or visit my Topic "Forgotten Tales Market" in Off-Topic.

The reasons to be very careful with "stolen" accounts:

1- Accounts trade are strictly prohibited. But lots of players traded lots of accounts. How knows who is truth?. I can trade an account and after to say: "somebody has stolen my account". And the staff has clear instructions about traded accounts: dont intervention. Check this issues take a huge amount of time. There is other priorities for the staff.
2- Share accounts is always a risk too. The rules are clear: if you share your pw, its at your own risk.
3- If you use a weak pw, its too your own responsibility. Strong pw is the best way to avoid account loses for this.
4- Of course, if we have proofs of some account thief, we can take actions against him. But not necessarily give back the accounts: sometimes is almost impossible because trades knows who is the true owner of the account.
5- Just account trades is the main reason to stop renames. We knows this was a way to hide trades and accounts, so we stopped it.
6- When everybody understandt it and account trades will be stopped forever, maybe we could begin again with renames and helping people who lose accounts.
7- As admin, i receive a lot of PM asking for losed/ forgotten pw. A big ammount of these requests are lies to take control of some account. Of course, we have ways to check itand tools to take back accounts. Some of the requests of help for "stolen" accounts are too in this category. And sometimes is not possible knows who is truth.

You understandt now? EVERYBODY IS RESPONSIBLE OF KEEP SAFE HIS ACCOUNTS. if you dont do your own task, why the staff must do it?
