New Loggin Security

[Mental]

Man I cant loggin, so from what I read I need my original cd key? Thats not possible for me right now. When I used recovery on my comp about a week ago, one of my gold edition cd's didnt work, so i bought diamond edition. So what am i supposed to do now then?

if it is truly your account you can pm a dev (linux) and he can amend the cdkey check to fit your new key. this will only happen after he double checks to make sure nefarious ppl aren't trying to circumvent the checks.

we will help anyone unduly put out by this check to get them back in the game as soon as we can. its not meant to hurt, only to help.

guild mules were thought about for this feature. although we don't actively support mules or meta gaming we are almost willing to help you sort out your guild mules

Just checked the guild keymaster and cannot login. This account does not belong to me but has been "handed" down to the guild members when Drega passed to the great beyond of gaming.
My post on this was locked and one of the questions went unanswered.( not whining, just stating) The question of each toon having to be done separately.

[Amoenotep]

i locked it because i'd like to keep this in one topic instead of spread around 50...which is why i pointed to this one. we can help unlock guild mules and such that are like that. i'm thinking its a char by char basis for disabling.

[Lorkar]

Thats gonna be a buttload of logging in with some accounts.

[Amoenotep]

just remember...disabling our new server security measures is at your own risk.

[Ajantis.]

Are we disabling the "new" security feature here... or are we disabling something more when doing that?

[Amoenotep]

when you disable the security feature it disables the new checks..which should let anyone with access to accounts be able to log into your mules.

Well we definitely expected a flood of folks having trouble... especially with mule accounts.

Here's the deal... if one of you have access to your mule account, that is, you created the mules using your cd key... then you'll need to log on to each one individually and "/disablesecurity" it if you want others to be able to use those mules. If you have a character but no longer have the CD key that you used while creating the character, then I need a PM from you with the account, character name, and a character name of a character created using your newer CD key (the one you do have).

I know this can be frustrating for some of you right now, but we'll get this all resolved... trust me this is a VERY good update!

[Ajantis.]

I agree, and CLAD is getting it worked out. Vastly made the mules after the wipe, even though Blystos Re created our mule account. Vastly is able to fix them since he's the one that created the mule toons.

So it doesnt seem to matter who created the mule account, as much as who created the mule itself.

[LinuxPup]

Correct... this is per character thing, not per account. Each character in a login could have been created using a different CD key.

[Ajantis.]

Yes, and Vastly has a few apparently and needs to find out which computer he made them on


Out of curiosity, is he the only one that can enable security again?

[Amoenotep]

whomever's cdkey is linked to any particular char is the only one that can enable/disable security on that char.

[Celorn]

hmm.. this is giving me a headache!

Would it not be a better idea to set all toons to /disable by default then you can log in and /enable them as needed?

Also, this is a major pain for me as I have a handful of keys, gonna be a pain to use one of my accounts where I created my personal mules - i'm sure some are using dif keys.

BUG!! I'm noticing bugs with this already, I was on just fine last night, but then my laptop locked up hard (as it often does - has a physical problem but it works if i'm nice to it) when I logged back in, it kept booting me immediately! I had not changed the cd key so...why was it suddenly not letting me log back in??? I went and played WoW until after the reset and without doing anything else on the laptop, I was able to log back in again without issue.
